Healed-ish

Youth camp was Ellie’s happy place. She made memories with friends, had powerful emotional experiences, and led worship. But after getting involved in a megachurch, she began seeing what happened behind the scenes and what happened when she started asking honest questions. Ellie shares her journey from church camps and megachurch culture to leaving, deconstructing, finding freedom, and healing out loud online. @Ellieunbound-Ellie’s Tiktok: ⁠  / ellieunbound⁠  Ellie’s IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ellieunboun...Ellie’s Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ellieunbound⁠-Patreon: ⁠⁠  / healedish⁠⁠  Follow for more:  Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠⁠  / jubileedawns⁠⁠   Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / jubileedawns⁠⁠   Healed-ish TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / healedishpodcast⁠⁠   Healed-ish IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / healedishpodcast⁠⁠   Apply To Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/23f8SPBX1VntsqUU8⁠

CW: Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse, and Discussion of Suicide
After many requests to talk about Mica Miller's story and Netflix's Death of the Pastor's Wife, Rihanna (@thediaryofrihanna) joins me to unpack the case and the troubling dynamics surrounding Mica's marriage to pastor JP Miller. With a significant age gap, domestic violence and religious abuse, and the fact that JP was once Mica's youth pastor, there are parts of her story that hit incredibly close to home for me.
We talk about the power dynamics in their relationship, the ways scripture and evangelical teachings can be weaponized against women, and the systems that can make it harder to recognize abuse or leave it. We also discuss why stories like Mica's deserve to be talked about, and what needs to change within religious communities to better protect vulnerable people.

Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez had a passion for ministry, but after a trusted youth pastor discovered his internet search history, he was shamed and forced to leave his church. Desperate to change his sexuality, Timothy dove headfirst into conversion therapy through Exodus International, learning how to “act straight” and searching for the supposed wound that made him gay.
He also shares what it was like working with major ministries like Hillsong, where his talents were welcomed as long as his sexuality stayed hidden. Now, Timothy is out, happy, and the author of Conversion Therapy Dropout. We talk about conversion therapy, working with major ministries, coming out, and finding freedom on the other side.

Rebecca grew up afraid of hell, the rapture, and stepping outside of God’s plan. From the pressure to remain pure to a pastor refusing to marry her after she “fell into sin,” shame shaped some of her biggest life decisions. Years later, she discovered the Christian man she trusted had been living a double life that put her and her children in an unsafe situation.
We talk about purity, charismatic Christianity, deconstruction, and Rebecca’s journey to untangle what she was taught from what she actually believes. Today, she serves on the board of The New Evangelicals, working to help create healthier spaces for people navigating faith and deconstruction.
