“Like so many exvangelicals I’ve met, I’ve spent much of my adult life slowly crawling away, trying to hang on to something for dear life, often feeling like a wrecked—or shipwrecked—soul, swimming for solid ground. Even now in middle age, nearly two decades out of that world, the nightmares still haunt me, as they do so many others. And it’s all made so much worse by the feeling of being seen as the problem, as evil or foolish for not remaining within those walls. But we are holding on and reconstructing our lives—finding each other and, maybe, God.”
― Sarah McCammon, The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church
