Jason Elam from "Messy Spirituality Podcast"

In this episode we get to know Julie. We learn about how growing up in christianity experiencing "fiercely charismatic" churches while having a critical mind impacted her during her youth, and later how teaching her children about "hell" all lead to the deconstruction process of faith and how those experiences and others lead to the writings that later became books. Julie truly is a fascinating person as well as an entertaining story teller. She has been able to allow the experiences she's gone though in life to make her wiser, and able to relate to people and God on a more personal or organic level.I have a feeling you will have as much fun as we all did getting to know Julie McVay, and rush out and buy her books on amazon or wherever books are sold.If you are enjoying Fade to Gray Podcast and what to know ways to support you an go to www.patreon.com/fadetograypodcast or if you would like to support the podcast in a "sick" new hoodie or t-shirt go to https://www.storefrontier.com/ftgnetworkAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

PK Langley is back and she has a brand new podcast that is sure to interest you. On this episode, PK does an incredible spiritual reading for the majority of Fade to Gray. One of the hosts is scared out of his mind to get a public spiritual reading. The usual skeptic, Chris, is shocked at some of the details that PK picks up on. We've never been more quiet as we couldn't find the words to speak.
