When Love Interrupts
🎙️ Welcome to the When Love Interrupts Podcast!
Join Charity and Jay as they journey through the process of healing from religious trauma. This is a safe space for honest, unfiltered conversations about what we’ve been taught and what we’re learning to let go of.
Together, we’ll unpack Church hurt, Purity Culture, politics in faith spaces, cult dynamics, the journey of embracing and affirming the Queer community within Christianity, and much more. Nothing’s off the table... we’re here for the messy, the meaningful, and the moments when love interrupts everything we thought we knew.

We talk about her unforgettable time on Survivor: China, her brand-new Survivor-themed podcast launching this August, and our journeys through faith deconstruction. Leslie also shares the heart behind her show Honoring the Journey and reminds us why it’s so important to respect everyone's personal truth. This episode is full of honesty, laughter, healing, and a little reality TV nostalgia. You don’t want to miss it!

Joining us today is Tim Whitaker, founder of The New Evangelicals. Tim started TNE to deconstruct conservative evangelicalism and advocate for a loving and more inclusive Christian faith. He's a leading voice against Christian Nationalism, with his shows, such as The Tim and April Show and The New Evangelicals podcast. On the show, we'll discuss the vital fight against Christian Nationalism, issues within the CCM world, and our shared experiences growing up evangelical. This is one fun and insightful discussion!

We welcome Travis Smith, Pastor and Executive Director of Blue Ridge Hope, to the show today. Together, we explore fresh expressions of church, what they are, what they can look like, and how they invite us to find Jesus in the most unexpected places. From creative ministry approaches to powerful personal stories, this conversation is full of surprises, including Sheryl’s unforgettable experience of encountering Jesus... in a strip club.
