This week’s guest is artist Stephanie Stalvey. You can see her full bio here. She is the artist behind Instagram’s @stephanie.stalvey.artist.Stephanie was a “90’s church kid” attending various evangelical churches when she was young. She took her beliefs seriously, and it wasn’t until her twenties that a sudden loss forced her to question whether life was as simple as she’d been taught.When Stephanie became a mother, she truly left fundamentalist religion. “I needed to let God expand into whatever God might be."Now she lives without a label, allowing her values and beliefs about humanity and divinity to change as she changes.Her art speaks to those of us who’ve left religion, reminding us that “…we are, in our hearts and in our inner essence, good and pure and sacred and not depraved.”LinksWebsitehttps://stephaniestalvey.com/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/stephanie.stalvey.artist/InteractFor quotes, recommendations, transcripts and more see the full episode show noteshttps://gracefulatheist.com/2023/07/09/stephanie-stalvey-artist/Graceful Atheist Podcast Merch!https://www.teepublic.com/user/gracefulatheistpodcastJoin the Deconversion Anonymous Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/deconversionSupport the podcast on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/gracefulatheistSecular Gracehttps://gracefulatheist.com/2016/10/21/secular-grace/Deconversionhttps://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/Deconstructionhttps://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/#deconstruction/Attribution"Waves" track written and produced by Makaih Beatshttps://makaihbeats.net/
