Ep. 14 I'm Tired of This Church!
The Righteous, Ratchet & Real Podcast is a weekly conversation between sister friends, ministers who met while pursuing their doctoral degrees. These discussions are meant for those who love God but side-eye the church. The conversations are ones you won't get in the pulpit but are just as sacred.
The church can be a ratchet place! This episode welcomes two guests to discuss why they have decided to leave the church and what their journey has looked like. Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes, author and Professor of Pastoral Care, explores the possibility and reality of leaving the church and choosing other ways to engage your faith. While Samantha Griggs, an art content creator, shares her journey out and how although her being an out and proud lesbian wasn't at the heart of her leaving, but factors into her decision because the church as a whole isn't always a safe place for the people she cares about.
