Leaving a Fanatical Church | Tom Tilley
from Young Blood - Men’s Mental Health · host Cal MacPherson
Tom Tilley is one Australia's most recognised journalists and he's just written a fascinating book called, Speaking in Tongues, a memoir about his life growing up in a Pentecostal sect that believed it was the one true church. The church was based around speaking in tongues, with members believing they could receive the holy spirit and speak directly to God in their own divine language. Tom was split between two worlds, with his life inside the church butting up against everything on the outer till there wasn't room for both... Tom's had to question everything in his pursuit of the truth and rebuild himself as a man without God. It's a fascinating story, one that should be heard by anyone struggling to choose the life they want to live. --------------------- Looking for a simple way to take care of your gut?
