why I left the church ft. Zac Rodarmel
from Can’t Shut the Femme Up · host cstfupodcast
Following last weeks episode “embracing rage” we have a SPINOFF episode “why I left the church” with a very special guest, Zac Rodarmel. In previous episodes, Rachel has shared part of her story with church hurt, but now we have her older brother here sharing his perspective on an immense church fallout 6 years ago. Faith is interviewing her fiancé about Zac’s life of following his calling to serve God in leading the church, then the unexpected experience of a very public divorce (2019) which led to the community he built to turn on him. They talk about getting married at a young age for God, the expectations placed on a leader in the church, religious rules, inauthentic friendships, “christian” judgement, secret affairs, studying theology, living in “sin”, WWJD and finding your soulmate after a heartbreaking divorce. You won’t want to miss this deeply expressed episode of CTSFU about love, loss, betrayal, religion, family, community and finding your own personal relationship with God.
