About this listen

In this gripping podcast episode, we welcome Marbeth Skwarczynski, mother of 'Preacher Boys' host Eric and accomplished author, as she discusses her harrowing experiences growing up in the IFB (Independent Fundamental Baptist) movement. We dive deep into her real-life inspirations for her compelling book 'No Longer Invisible' and explore the emotional challenges and abuses she faced and overcame. This candid conversation sheds light on the stark realities behind seemingly perfect façades in religious communities, highlighting her journey through severe depression, working for years in a Christian school under exploitative conditions, and ultimately deconstructing her faith. Learn about her powerful fiction works that reveal the lives of those impacted by such environments and her latest book 'Princess of Moab.' Don't miss this emotional and eye-opening episode, especially if you've ever questioned how religion can sometimes manipulate and control.
