What happens when your faith decides you’re no longer fit for the flock? In this episode of Being the Black Sheep, Janine Stella unpacks the wild, heartbreaking, and often absurd ways religious communities have given the ultimate cold shoulder—from medieval Spain’s “convert or get out” orders to the silent shunning of modern high-control groups.

We’re talking Amish teens torn between family and freedom, Jehovah’s Witnesses facing “social death” for walking away, and the unspoken biases that still police who’s in and who’s out. With historical dirt, personal war stories, and plenty of sass, Janine proves that sometimes getting holy-ghosted by your community isn’t the end—it’s the start of finding your own damn pasture.

Because, once you’ve been baaa-nished, you’re free to run wild.

Slide into the Black Sheep’s DMs – Janine’s waiting.
