About this listen
This conversation explores a conversation with Jason and Jennifer Shelton, our old neighbors. Jason grew up in the Jehovah's Witness faith and later left it, fell into addiction, and has emerged on the other side living a sober, family-filled, loving life.
They discuss the challenges of growing up in a high-expectation religion, including the impact of shunning, the struggle for personal identity paired with the deep desire to maintain family relationships, and the journey towards sobriety and mental health.
The Sheltons reflect on their family dynamics, the emotional toll of leaving the faith, and the misconceptions surrounding those who choose to leave. Their story highlights the importance of connection, understanding, and personal growth after leaving a restrictive belief system.
