54: Kiki With An Ex-Minister

Andrew Jasko was born into a Christian family. Both his parents were ministers and he was even said to be "offered at the altar" at birth. He lived his childhood according to the tenets of his faith, studied and got his Master's degree in Divinity from Princeton Seminary and fulfilled the prophecies at his birth and became a minister.

In this project, Andrew shares his story - his growing up years and how internal conflict and enlightenment as an adult eventually saw him leaving his religious faith and community because of the severe psychological trauma he experienced.

After spending years and thousands of dollars healing himself and researching religious harm, Andrew is now an acclaimed speaker, and coach in the field of religious trauma and the integration of psychology and spirituality. He is now pursuing another Master's degree, this time in Clinical Psychology. 

This is a personal project as one of us on the podcast went through a major transition in terms of personal beliefs recently. Andrew helped us unpack how one's beliefs affect mental and sexual health, among other things.

Andrew's interview starts at the 08:00 mark.

This is our very personal and special offering for Holy Week 2022.
