Addie & Lizzie

In this episode of When Love Interrupts, Charity and Jay sit down with author Addie Zierman and audio producer Lizzie Goldsmith to explore the lasting impact of evangelical culture and the stories we tell about faith, fear, and belonging.

Addie shares the story behind her memoir, When We Were on Fire, a reflection on growing up immersed in 90s evangelical youth culture and the complicated journey of faith that followed. The conversation also dives into the creation of the immersive audio drama adaptation produced by Lizzie, which brings the memoir to life through storytelling and sound.

Together, they unpack the emotional landscape of evangelical upbringing, including the influence of rapture culture, apocalyptic imagination, dreams of Hell, and the way those narratives shaped identity, community, and spirituality for an entire generation.
