Jamie Lee Finch
“In Evangelical circles, perfection is demanded—yet not attained—daily causing inner conflict and fracturing self-worth.”
Jamie Lee Finch, You Are Your Own: A Reckoning with the Religious Trauma of Evangelical Christianity

Kristin Kobes Du Mez
“It was precisely this pattern that led Rachael Denhollander to label the church “one of the worst places to go for help” for victims of abuse.”
Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation

Jamie Lee Finch
“Aside from physical punishment, to have all natural human reactions to frightening doctrines rejected as sin or lack of faith, is akin to undergoing emotional torture.”
Jamie Lee Finch, You Are Your Own: A Reckoning with the Religious Trauma of Evangelical Christianity

Jamie Lee Finch
“The refugees of these doctrines often cannot seem to connect to themselves, their bodies, or to other people. Many of them experience anxiety, depression, and panic that they aren’t able to explain, and they don’t feel the inner permission to own their emotions, trust themselves, find peace, or experience pleasure.”
Jamie Lee Finch, You Are Your Own: A Reckoning with the Religious Trauma of Evangelical Christianity

Jamie Lee Finch
“I believe that people need to know that what they were taught to believe under Evangelical doctrine can legitimately be defined as trauma. I believe that the doctrine passed on by parents, teachers, pastors, and educators who may have meant their best ultimately did deep harm. Ill-intention is not a prerequisite for trauma or pain.”
Jamie Lee Finch, You Are Your Own: A Reckoning with the Religious Trauma of Evangelical Christianity
