This week, Ashley and Bailee continue their conversation with their friend Scip as she reflects on growing up in 90s evangelical culture and her journey through deconstruction.

Together, they explore Scip’s upbringing in the Assembly of God church, her experience attending an evangelical Bible college, and the ways those environments shaped (and challenged) her faith. They unpack the unique culture and politics of evangelical higher education, revisit the unforgettable world of puppet teams and human video competitions, and reflect on what it means to untangle the traditions, beliefs, and communities that shaped you while finding your own way forward.

What we talk about:
- Special guest Katherine Scipioni
- The gatorade wars
- Being embarrassingly earnest
- Church skit human video competitions
- Going to a conservative Bible College
- Lying for fun
- Tricky timing with purity culture
