BONUS Episode: Halloween with Eliza Unseth

13. Season 1 Finale - Antitestimony

CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of suicidal ideation, family death A bit of a different episode today...Meg and Vika talk through how they journeyed into the Church TM and then out of it. There is lots of cringe at our high school selves, along with more serious topics like grief, mental health and how the church treats women. Thank you for coming along with us for the first season, we've absolutely loved doing this, and can't wait for Season 2!

11. Sexuality & the Church: A Brief History of LGBTQ+ Rights

Apologies in advance for one of our more somber episodes. Today we’re diving into the United States’ tumultuous relationship with relationships, from before the Mayflower to today. It’s a wild ride, but we promise it’s not all bad: you might be (distantly) related to both Meg and Julia Child. Content warnings: suicide, LGBTQ+ discrimination Full show notes are available on our website, impurerethought.com.
