Exxtian Erin joins us to discuss Pentecostal Christian marriage books and relationship advice, including some that have found their way into popular culture. From love languages to mandatory premarital counseling, we’ll review the good, the bad, and the silly in popular literature on the topic of love and relationships. Bring your questions, personal stories, and book recommendations for a light-hearted foray into the relationship advice we wish we’d gotten sooner or not at all.
Erin is a host on the call-in show Truth Wanted with the atheist community of Austin where they talk to people about what they believe and why. She grew up in a Charismatic Pentecostal family and did it all: the Sunday school, Awanas bible memorization, youth groups, purity rings, summer camps, faith healing, and speaking in tongues. She did long term Missionary work, played worship bands and even went to bible college for a while. In 2019, now married with 2 kids, she deconstructed her faith completely and became an Atheist. She first started sharing her story anonymously online which quickly turned into her becoming an outspoken Atheist Activist. She now hosts a call-in show and is active in many online and in person Atheist Organizations. Her journey from Christianity to Atheist Activist has meant looking back and dissecting the harm caused by extreme supernatural beliefs. Now she continues to share her experiences and tries to help others think deeply about what they believe and why.
