Church Trauma and Ankara Choir Robes

Why did so many immigrant kids grow up in church every Sunday… only to disappear the second they got adult freedom and their own car?In this episode, Dr. Phebe Brako unpacks why your immigrant child may not want to go to church anymore, and spoiler alert: it’s deeper than “they’ve lost their way.” From spiritual burnout and church-as-cultural-performance to healing from shame, pressure, and three-hour services that started late anyway, we’re talking about all of it.If you’ve ever hidden in the bathroom during altar call or developed a stress response to hearing “praise and worship will begin shortly”… this episode is for you.Send your questions and topic ideas to [email protected] or slide in my DM's on Instagram @drphebebrakoRemember we can only grow our audience with your support.
