In this episode, Sadie and Gavi discuss the abusive Agape boarding school in Missouri, and the looming threat that it posed to fundamentalist kids growing up. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode will talk about all types of child abuse extensively, although as always we will pick and choose which details we share and give you a heads up before we talk about anything exceptionally bad. But this is a blanket warning for the WHOLE episode, we will not be able to CW before every mention of child abuse because it is the whole episode.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
