b'TW: sexual violence; intimate partner violence; postpartum PTSD

This week\\u2019s guest is Grace. Grace was fortunate not to grow up in the church, but when she became a Christian in high school, she\\u2014in her own words\\u2014\\u201cquickly became the quintessential insufferable Christian teenager.\\u201d

Grace was a zealous believer for years, and it wasn\\u2019t until she had her first child that the questions began coming. At first, she didn\\u2019t think she was deconstructing her faith; she saw it as spiritual growth.

But then\\u2014as with many other guests\\u2014\\u201cthe Pandemic hit.\\u201d While in lockdown, more than theological questions came up for Grace. With her husband\\u2019s support, online friends, and medication, Grace managed, but one thing was missing.

What she needed but couldn\\u2019t find, she created. hyssopandlaurel.com is a \\u201cgrassroots arts and literary magazine for religious deconstructionists.\\u201d It is a thriving community of creative minds coming together to make art and poetry, sharing their stories because their stories matter.
