| 17 Oct 2022 | Ep. 104: Agape Boarding School (Troubled Teen Industry / TTI / Abuse / Fundamentalism / Christianity / Physical / Sexual / Emotional / True Crime / Kidnapping / Legal Case / Justice / IFB / Roloff) | 01:51:03 | |
In this episode, Sadie and Gavi discuss the abusive Agape boarding school in Missouri, and the looming threat that it posed to fundamentalist kids growing up. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode will talk about all types of child abuse extensively, although as always we will pick and choose which details we share and give you a heads up before we talk about anything exceptionally bad. But this is a blanket warning for the WHOLE episode, we will not be able to CW before every mention of child abuse because it is the whole episode.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Have you ever wondered what the Fundie answer to James Bond was? What about the Fundies answer to the whole Blaxsploitation film craze? Well look no further as Sadie and Gavri'el revisit the timeless work of Jack Chick. Did we say timeless? What we meant was paranoid, nonsensical, and admittedly sourced entirely from a certifiable lunatic who claimed to personally know Charles Manson.

Have you ever wondered why fundamentalism is so rife with conspiracy theories? Have you ever wondered about the link between the IFB and Q anon? Have you ever wondered how Illuminati and New World Order conspiracies became ubiquitous?

| 09 Jan 2023 | Ep. 115: What Did Jesus Look Like? (Christianity / Judaism / Religion / Moses / Israelites / Hebrew / IFB / Fundamentalism / Heaven / Theology / King David / Solomon / Art History / Judea) | 01:43:07 | |
In today's episode, Sadie describes the IFB's rules about depictions of Jesus and Gavi examines multiple theories of what Jesus and other biblical figures might have looked like. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. In what is quite possibly Leaving Eden Podcast's most requested episode ever, Sadie and Gavi discuss Jonestown, The People’s Temple, and the massacre that occurred there in November of 1978. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. In this episode, of course we are going to be discussing many deaths by suicide, the majority of which were coerced or forced, and the death of many children, but we think that’s obvious from the episode title and the topic we’re discussing. We are also going to be talking about a lot of very twisted humiliation rituals, control and brainwashing and blackmail rituals, this goes a bit deeper than we were initially aware of. Of course we will give you a heads up before we drop any graphic details, but as usual we are going to err on the side of not glorifying abuse and letting listeners seek out the darker details if they want to. Additionally, you may be confused by or disagree with our portrayals of The People’s Temple, Jim Jones, and his followers. While obviously Jim Jones was a murderer and a controlling and abusive person, it is important to explore his positive attributes in order to explain what his followers saw in him and why they trusted him to begin with. To not do so would be to portray them as witless sheep led to slaughter which would be against the mission of this podcast and also disrespectful to the memories of those who died in 1978 as a result of the actions of Jim Jones.

On today's episode, Sadie explains the numerological "evidence" that fundamentalists use to prove that the King James Version of the Bible is the full and complete word of God in English. Sadie and Gavi explore the logical fallacies that these "proofs" rely upon.

| 13 Feb 2023 | Ep. 120: Why Heathens Have Better Sex Than Christians (Paul and Morgan / Girl Defined / Fundie Sex Influencers / Purity Culture / Dating / Relationships / Valentine's Day ) | 02:20:02 | |
On this Valentine's Day special, Sadie and Gavi discuss sex advice from notorious fundie sex influencers Paul & Morgan and Girl Defined. Later, they are joined by sex therapist Liat Fruman to get a qualified professional's take on this advice. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. In this episode, we are going to be going into a lot of detail about purity culture, modesty culture, which brings along a whole lot of homophobia and misogyny and some racism as well. We’re going to talk about sex-shaming, body-shaming, purity rings, the whole nine yards. A special note for any listeners who may be asexual, sex-repulsed, minors, or just wanting a heads up on actual explicit content. We are going to be talking about specific bits of sex advice given by these Christian influencers, but we’re going to keep it PG-13 at MOST on the streaming edition, although the Patreon edition might get slightly more blue. I want to give you an example at the top, just to level-set. The advice we’re going to be talking about is like, “try new things”, “wear something sexy”, “don’t be afraid to use lube” An extended, uncensored, and ad-free version of this podcast episode is available to subscribers at Patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcast WE HAVE NEW MERCH AVAILABLE, AND A NEW MERCH SHOP, at https://leavingedenpodcast.threadless.com Stream the Leaving Eden Podcast theme song, Rolling River of Time on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/artist/6lB7RwSQ9X5gnt1BDNugyS?si=jVhmqFfYRSiruRxekdLgKA.

In today's episode, Gavi presents an overview of what he has learned over the past 5 months during his deep dive into the manosphere.

On today's episode, Sadie and Gavi discuss Pastors School, the massive IFB pastors convention held at First Baptist Church of Hammond every spring. Sadie gives us the history of the event, some truly ludicrous Pastors School stories, the grueling schedule for the attendees, and one deeply inappropriate sermon she was made to listen to when she was a young teenager.

Today's episode is the first part of a 2-part episode exploring and debunking the claims make by Mike Warnke in his 1972 book, "The Satan Seller." In this book, Warnke claims to have been a satanic high priest involved with the illuminati, and that he had satanic occult powers to summon demons and put spells on people. These claims launched Warnke's decades-long career as a christian speaker until he was proven to be a liar in the early 1990s by an article in Cornerstone Magazine. Join in as Sadie and Gavi explore the outlandish and absurd claims that Warnke made in his book. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear.

In this episode we are discussing the satanic panic and claims of satanic ritual abuse, as well as a lot of drug use, brief mentions of suicide (that was not completed) and domestic violence. Generally we will mention the names of the substances that Warnke said he was on, and the effects he says he experienced but we won’t describe his methods of use in any detail. There is also one point in the episode where we describe an alleged sexual assault. (We say alleged because it is the perpetrator claiming to have done it and there’s no other evidence that it ever happened, or that the victim was a real person who ever existed) and in that instance we will say that someone was sexually assaulted, but not give any details beyond that. There is also a small amount of general witchcraft spookiness, alleged blood drinking, we don’t believe it happened so we are not treating it as truthful, but it will come up.

On Today's episode, Sadie and Gavi discuss instances in which prominent fundies have given accidentally "woke" takes, from Girl Defined's sex work seminar to Paul Olliges insights into the nature of online discourse to the "He Gets Us" super bowl ads. They also discuss the etymology of the word "woke" and how it came to be the dogwhistle/boogeyman that the religious right has made it out to be in recent years!

On this episode, Sadie and Gavi take a deep dive into fundamentalist hate preacher Peter Ruckman, his bizarre autobiography, his multiple marriages, and his theology, which was extreme even for IFB standards.

There’s also some generalized misogyny, victim blaming of ex-wives, and Ruckman describes two different suicide attempts very callously.

On this episode, Sadie and Gavi are once again joined by Dr. Shoshana Fagen, who lends her considerable expertise to the discussion of the ubiquitous and infamous fundamentalist parenting book/child abuse manual, "To Train Up A Child," By Michael and Debi Pearl. The techniques recommended in this book have been used by fundamentalist families like the Duggars for decades. Together with Shoshana, they examine how truly horrible and harmful this book is, and what healing from this sort of upbringing might look like.

We will of course be validating survivors of such abuse, talking scientifically about why it’s not okay, trying to use language that’s less triggering, but it is the topic of the episode. We will also more briefly mention topics such as complimentarianism, wives submitting to husbands, marital rape, and briefly mention the deaths of several children which were related to the teachings put forth in this book.

| 10 Jul 2023 | Ep. 141: Rock And Roll Is Satanic According To Professional Exorcist Bob Larson | 02:17:24 | |
On today's episode, Sadie and Gavi review Larson's Book of Rock: For Those Who Listen to the Words and Don't Like What They Hear by Bob Larson. This book provides a good overview of what most fundamentalists find objectionable about rock music. It also provides insight into how out of touch and disconnected from reality most fundamentalists are when it comes to music.

| 17 Jul 2023 | Ep. 142: Alberto Rivera (Part 1) | 02:04:10 | |
On Today's first part of two-part episode, Sadie and Gavi discuss Alberto Rivera, one of Jack Chick's most trusted sources for the conspiracy theories that he proliferated in his comic books. Alberto Rivera alleges a large-scale global conspiracy theory in which the Roman Catholic Church seeks world domination. Rivera claims to be an ex-priest who worked for the jesuits to infiltrate protestant churches in order to bring them down from the inside. Only problem with this is that Alberto Rivera was a grifter and a fraud. Find out why on today's episode. Part 2 will come in a few weeks when we get back from summer break!

On Today's second part of a two-part episode, Sadie and Gavi discuss Alberto Rivera, one of Jack Chick's most trusted sources for the conspiracy theories that he proliferated in his comic books. Alberto Rivera alleges a large-scale global conspiracy theory in which the Roman Catholic Church seeks world domination.

This episode contains mention of self-harm and suicidal ideation – as always we’ll try to be as clinical and respectful as possible when discussing this, and I will give you a heads-up before we get there. This episode will also contain discussion of historical sexual abuse in the church, and a large amount of racist or zenophobic antisemitic and/or Islamophobic conspiracy theories. I also want to recognize, any time we talk about the Catholic Church we have to give recognition to the crimes against humanity committed in residential schools. Those are not the topic of our discussion for today, so if that’s a trigger for anyone, we won’t be getting into it in detail. This episode is NOT “The church has never done any crimes” it is simply “The church has not done THESE PARTICULAR crimes because THIS PARTICULAR person is a liar.” This episode is also not meant to be a defense of Catholic theology and doctrine and tradition as *correct* or what *you* should believe, but rather we’re trying to show how it has been misrepresented in order for Chick to fearmonger.

This episode contains a huge trigger warning for eating disorders, and we will be talking about numbers, like people’s weight, or calorie numbers, macro counting. Usually I avoid any number talk because it’s a bit of a trigger even for me personally, but it is really necessary to this episode. What I won’t do in this episode, because I never ever do and never will, is discuss other eating disorder behavior beyond just saying extreme calorie restriction; I don’t ever discuss the methods that people use to achieve that kind of restriction because I’ve found that’s always damaging to me, so I feel there’s a high chance it’s damaging to other people too. If you need to skip *all* the fitness influencer, eating disorder stuff, you can jump back in after the break at 43 minutes, where we will be moving on to other scams and grifts and general BS that this person has been involved in. There are also much briefer mentions of police brutality, animal cruelty, and suicide in this episode.

We have finally, after 3 years, tracked down the ORIGINAL "Brain In A Jar" story that appeared in both Episode 1 of our podcast, and Episode 57, our primer for new listeners. This story was our holy grail, and after 3 years we have tracked down a firsthand account of this story for confirming/debunking. It originated with a fundamentalist pastor named J. Frank Norris, who in many ways is the genesis of the IFB movement as it exists today. What's more, he had a bizarrely acute influence on Jack Hyles. He also may have been a murderer (???)

Frank Norris' infamous 1926-1927 murder trial, and the physical and historical evidence surrounding his "Brain In The Jar" story that was used for decades after his death to scare fundamentalists into submission. This "Brain In The Jar" story appeared in our first ever podcast episode. Since that time over three years ago, it has been our holy grail.

In this episode, we deconstruct the story of Jepthah and his daughter. This is a bible story that was used to great effect during Sadie's fundamentalist upbringing as a tool to control people and as a tool to demand obedience.

| 23 Oct 2023 | Ep. 154: A Thief In The Night (Halloween Special) | 01:32:08 | |
On this episode, we review "A Thief In The Night," a 1973 evangelical horror film depicting the rapture. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. The movie that we are reviewing today is about the Rapture, if you want to know the combination of snark and theology we’re going for here, it will be similar in tone to the Burning Hell episode we did last year around this time. But we will be discussing all things end times, left behind, rapture stuff. We will also potentially discuss snakes, gore, beheading (very briefly), blood transfusions, An extended, uncensored, and ad-free version of this podcast episode is available to subscribers at Patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcast WE HAVE NEW MERCH AVAILABLE, AND A NEW MERCH SHOP, at https://leavingedenpodcast.threadless.com Stream the Leaving Eden Podcast theme song, Rolling River of Time on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/artist/6lB7RwSQ9X5gnt1BDNugyS?si=jVhmqFfYRSiruRxekdLgKA.

| 30 Oct 2023 | Ep. 155: The Well To Hell Hoax (Halloween Special) | 01:53:58 | |
On this week's episode, we discuss the urban legend of the "Well To Hell." This claim gained popularity after Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) broadcast a news story in 1989 that Soviet researchers had drilled a hole through the crust of the earth and into hell. This claim was widely believed to be fact within fundamentalist and evangelical circles. Some church services even played an alleged recording that was made of the screams that according to legend, was made when the scientists lowered a specialized heat-resistant microphone into the 1100C pit. On this episode, we examine the details of this claim in an attempt to prove or disprove its validity.

| 19 Feb 2024 | Ep. 170: I Kissed Dating Goodbye | 01:54:38 | |
Today we discuss "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," by Joshua Harris. This book, published in 1997, became the definitive guide to dating within purity culture in the evangelical movement from the late 1990s through the 2010s. While Joshua Harris has since disavowed all of the teachings of this book, the fear-based approach to dating and purity culture lives on. If you are a new listener to our show or are just finding out about the IFB from the "Let Us Prey" Documentary, we recommend listening to episode 57, as well as our 5-part "First Family of Fundamentalism" series from fall of 2020.

| 26 Feb 2024 | Ep. 171: The Woman They Wanted by Shannon Harris | 01:27:36 | |
On today's episode, we review "The Woman They Wanted," by Shannon Harris. The ex-wife of megachurch pastor and author of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" Joshua Harris, Shannon was not born into evangelicalism, but was pulled in as a young adult. Shannon tells of giving up more and more of her identity in service to her husband's ministry, and how deconstruction led the two of them down different paths. We highly recommend this book. We agree that it is an excellent deconstruction memoir. If you are a new listener to our show or are just finding out about the IFB from the "Let Us Prey" Documentary, we recommend listening to episode 57, as well as our 5-part "First Family of Fundamentalism" series from fall of 2020.

| 11 Mar 2024 | Ep. 173: Dav and Bethany Deconstructing (Feat. Chad Harris) (Girl Defined / Fundie Snark) | 01:24:26 | |
Dav Beal, husband of Bethany (of Girl Defined fame) is no longer a christian. In fact, over the course of many years, Dav has deconstructed his faith and is now an atheist. We discuss how mixed-faith marriages can make this work, and what this means for Bethany's content going forward. We are joined by Chad Harris (AKA Archraddish) for his take, as somebody who deconstructed from fundamentalist christianity into atheism.
