S3 E2: When The Church Makes You Their Poster Child (w/Meilyn Luo)

Update: 2024-04-30

Description

This week on the podcast, I am joined by Mei Luo, who shares her experiences being groomed to be the poster child of her church's youth ministry, and the model of a perfect Christian, despite her church's simultaneous attempts to brush over and ignore her abusive home life. The conversation in this episode is inspired by the topics and themes of my book "A Jumble of Crumpled Papers".
