Amen, But STFU

Welcome back to Amen, But… STFU  This week we’re talking HOT topics from Drake’s new album, to Euphoria, to Kelly Clarkson (because somehow we always end up there ). Then we dive into our main conversation: Christian influences, purity culture vibes, and the cringey things growing up in Christian spaces taught us to normalize. We’re unpacking the weird, the funny, and the moments that made us stop and think… “wait, why was THAT a thing?” Come laugh with us, question everything, and maybe heal your inner church kid a little.

Amen, but Who Let Them Start a Cult?

This week on Amen, But… we dive into the wild Netflix documentary about the woman who risked everything to infiltrate a cult and help save vulnerable women from manipulation and abuse. We unpack the psychology behind cults, why people get pulled into them, and the shocking parallels to everyday life and religion. But don’t worry it’s not all heavy this week. We’re also back to being unserious with hot topics, random tangents, and the chaotic conversations y’all love. One minute we’re talking mind control… the next we’re spiraling over pop culture. As always: equal parts deep, unhinged, and healing.

Amen, But Cover That Sh*t Up

Amen… but we need to cover THAT up. This week, we’re talking purity culture the rules, the shame, the pressure, and the reality of growing up in it. From what we were taught to what we actually experienced, nothing is off limits. We’re getting into first times, unlearning harmful narratives, and reclaiming our stories. It’s real, it’s relatable, and it might have you saying… yeah, we need to talk about this.

Amen, But... I’m Not Doing This Alone

I open up about why having the right people in your life matters, how it impacts your growth, and practical ways to find and nurture your own community whether you’re starting from scratch or strengthening what you already have.

Amen, But Why the Misconceptions?

This week’s episode dives into a powerful and honest conversation about the common misconception that sexuality is a choice. The discussion opens the door to a deeper exploration of where these beliefs come from and challenges the myths surrounding the causes of homosexuality. The hosts unpack how environment and upbringing are often misunderstood as determining factors, while also addressing the idea of a so-called “gay agenda” and contrasting it with the performative nature of religious influence. Throughout the episode, they reflect on first encounters with LGBTQ+ individuals, shifting public opinions on same-sex marriage, and the stereotypes that continue to shape perceptions today. Ultimately, this conversation encourages listeners to question assumptions, recognize bias, and better understand the complexities of identity and acceptance.
