"I was expelled from college in my senior year for speaking out" with Andrew Pledger

"The most psychologically damaging was the hateful sermons on the LGBTQ+ community.

I'm a religious trauma survivor who escaped fundamentalist Christianity (the IFB cult). I bring awareness to spiritual and religious abuse. My podcast Speaking Up with Andrew Pledger offers a platform for people to share their stories of surviving toxic religions and cults.

Being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and experiencing religious trauma has inspired me to pursue psychology to help survivors. In the mean...
