Praise Be To Pod
Ashley and Bailee are reclaiming their spirituality after leaving the evangelical church behind. Join them for candid conversations about the twists and turns of deconstruction, spirituality, pop culture, mental health, astrology, self-care, and all the things that make life interesting after the altar call. Together, we’ll laugh, reflect, and discover what we still believe in.

Backsliding: A Slippery Slope
This week, Bailee and Ashley explore the idea of backsliding—a term often used in evangelical and fundamentalist spaces to describe someone who has drifted from their faith, questioned doctrine, or changed their behavior in ways seen as spiritually unsafe.
We take a closer look at how this culture of “accountability” shaped our understanding of growth, struggle, and doubt. We talk about the fear and shame that came with being seen as “off track,” and how that pressure often made it difficult to be honest about where we really were mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
