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.

The Conditional Unconditional LOVE of God

Were you obsessed with how much God Loves you? Our Evangelical upbringing taught us that God loves you unconditionally… unless you don’t believe correctly, behave correctly, or die at the wrong time.
This week we’re unpacking the “conditional unconditional love” of God — the version many of us were raised on in evangelical culture.
We play our new game “Cute, Concerning, or Straight to Jail?” where we ask: Would this behavior be cute if God didn’t do it?
We dig into:
- Why evangelicals are so obsessed with preaching about God’s love
- The fine print behind “free, unearned grace”
- The theology of hell as the baseline
- Fear-based attachment and compliance training
- Fruit inspection and spiritual self-surveillance
