I plan on taking some time off in the near future. I would love to have you write a guest post for this site, if you are interested. In particular, I am interested in hearing from people who would like to share their deconversion stories. Maybe you have posted your story elsewhere. I am more than happy to share it here. Perhaps you have never put your story into words. This is your chance to have thousands of people read your story! Don’t worry about whether your story is “good” enough or grammatically correct. Carolyn, my editor, will whip your story into fine form.
Posts on other subjects are welcome too. This offer is also open to my Evangelical critics, people who want to set me straight or deconstruct my life. Please send all submissions via the Contact Page.
Thanks for your help!

I’d like to tell my story,as a cautionary tale of what happens when you don’t question ” Christian advice.”. Down the rabbit hole you go.
Do it, Yulya! ❤️🙂👍 I bet your story will be interesting and instructive for all of us. Since I didn’t grow up Evangelical/Fundamentalist I sure enjoy reading about the experiences of those who did.
Thanks, Karuna Gal. Although I was lucky enough not to grow up as a Fundie, I was 18 when I took the Jesus plunge and switched my allegiance from my old tribal god and did a 180,addressing Jesus directly for the first time. Had I simply not gone to church after that, I think I’d have been okay. My best years were gobbled up and wasted,with bad sorts. No time to write it out now,and on my stupid phone no less- as I said, a cautionary tale,lol. 🙃🕸️
