Evangelicalish

This week, Paul, Jeremy and April had a hard conversation that wasn't the prettiest- but it ended well. We decided to talk about it - our conflict, life after working in toxic churches, and things that trigger us since leaving. We also discuss the importance of recognizing these things in ourselves to figure out how we keep from falling back into old patterns.
