Description

From the one-piece swimsuits and the oversized free t-shirts all the way to the tearful confessionals and personal testimonies around a bonfire, Evangelical Christian summer camps were a masterpiece of emotional manipulation and unadulterated peer on peer action. Join Lindsay, Meg, and Sarai - a bevy of former camp attendees (and a lifer in the bunch, who would reconvert TODAY if a lifelong summer camp job opened up for her) - as they discuss the Camp ExperienceTM. Whether they were finding sneaky ways to be near crushes, witnessing gross-out challenges in the mess hall, or reliving an experience with a rattlesnake that is less parable and more badass than you'd expect, these maidens were camp mavens. If you’re a former church kid who grew up going to camp, you’ll find some familiar tales of the dust-laden camps where craft shacks ruled the day, all the way to the fanciest-pants California camps with pools and comparatively luxurious cabins *with bathrooms INSIDE THEM*, and hopefully, it will be a relatively soothing trip down memory lane. Hey, even Exvangelicals need a break sometimes, and what’s better than some good, clean, camp-based fun?

Lindsay, Meg, Sarai & friends - a bunch of former church kids who came of age in 80s and 90s American Evangelicalism - are Holy Ghosting. In each episode, we share our youthful experiences and stories of the harm we endured and perpetrated as American Evangelicals and we laugh, we're sarcastic ladies.All three of our hosts grew up in different cities and didn’t meet until recently - and yet…the culture of Evangelicalism is strong and chock full of harm and quizzical quirks everywhere. But now, in our own ways, we're working to reconstruct a community that gives a shit about our neighbors. Join us as we work to tear down the American foundation of patriarchy and white supremacy and rebuild a better world with equity and equality as Exvangelicals.
