Holy Ghosting - Podcast

Holy Ghosting

Meg & Sarai are former church kids who came of age in 80s and 90s American Evangelicalism - We are Holy Ghosting 

In each episode, we tackle healing from our youthful experiences and the harm we endured and perpetrated as American Evangelicals, and we laugh, we're sarcastic ladies. 

We're working to reconstruct a community that gives a shit about our neighbors. Join us as we work to tear down the American foundation of patriarchy and white supremacy and rebuild a better world with equity and equality as Ex-Christians.
