RfR Support Group Director and host, Eric Wells, sits down with Shanon Nebo, the RfR Treasurer, Social Media Director, & Excursion Director.  Shanon talks about her upbringing living in a "demon haunted world" as she felt demons could posses and control people's lives, her fear of hell, her struggles with understanding her own sexuality and the damage that purity culture caused. We get to meet some of her family, talk about her gardening hobby and her views on how precious life now is for her.
The primary focus of Recovering from Religion (RfR) is to offer hope, healing, and support to those struggling with issues of doubt and non-belief. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. We are here to help each other through this journey.
