BAD WORDS

BAD WORDS is an exvangelical podcast that meticulously deconstructs and critiques influential books within evangelical Christianity, such as Francine Rivers' 'Redeeming Love.' Hosted by Janice Lagata and Melanie Kleimola, often with guests, the show provides a critical lens on problematic themes including purity culture, gender roles, victim-blaming, and the portrayal of trauma and abuse within religious narratives. Each episode offers a chapter-by-chapter analysis, exposing toxic theology and its real-world impact. This podcast is essential for exvangelicals, individuals undergoing religious deconstruction, and anyone interested in understanding the social and psychological consequences of evangelical teachings, offering a space for validation, critical thought, and healing from religious trauma.
