From Jesus Freak to Therapy Freak (w/Jessie McLaughlin)

We talked to Jessie McLaughlin about “So Help Me God.” She shares with us about her experience of growing up Christian, the inner turmoil of taking it very seriously, and how she’s been healing from religious trauma through therapy. 

We love Jessie’s twitter feed where she talks about recovering from evangelicalism, hilarious day-to-day things, and you can see her design work on her instagram.

She sings on her husband's record, and our favorite song is Where We’re Going. (The album is Man Overboard by James and the Shame by Rhett McLaughlin, one half of the Good Mythical Morning YouTube). You can hear more about Jessie and Rhett's story of going on staff at Campus Crusade (Cru) and the process of leaving, as Rhett tells is here.

We have a website—check it out for more information. You can also find us on Twitter and Instagram.
