I have a list of resources, a more complete list of what I think you know people should think about and consider, as they're getting ready to leave.
Imagine living every moment under a microscope, with every decision scrutinized. That's the reality Eleanor Skelton faced growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household. In this compelling episode of 'Speaking Up with Andrew Pledger', Eleanor shares her gripping story of life within the Independent Fundamental Churches of America (IFCA) and Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) church. From strict gender roles to the expectation of attending a Christian college, Eleanor's parents controlled every aspect of her life.
When she resisted, their grip tightened even more. But Eleanor's story doesn't end there. She recounts her courageous journey to break free from these oppressive chains and how she's now dedicated to helping others escape similar toxic environments. If you're curious about the real-life impact of religious control and the strength it takes to reclaim one's life, this episode is a must-listen.
