Navigating Division In this conversation, Steve, Jenelle, Amy, and I talk about what happens in a marriage when one partner continues attending meetings and the other steps away. We explore: • Recognizing that each person is on their own journey • The difference between rules, boundaries, and agreements • How couples can navigate relational tension when their paths no longer match Whether you’re dealing with spiritual differences in your marriage or in any close relationship, we hope this discussion helps you feel seen, understood, and supported.

Parenting Series: Ria (Hegyi) Muir Last week in our Parenting Series, Steve and Darlene Hegyi shared about their regrets in raising their children under the expectations and pressures of the 2x2 system. This week, we hear from their oldest child, Ria. With clarity and courage, Ria reflects on her upbringing and her early awareness that much of the church culture was harmful to her personal, spiritual and emotional development. She shares what it meant to witness her own parents begin questioning the 2x2 structure during COVID—and how deeply validating that shift was for her. Ria also speaks candidly about the long-term psychological effects of that environment, offering insight that will resonate with many who have had similar experiences. We also had a hopeful conversation about her one-year-old son, Finn, and her excitement to raise him in the freedom, unconditional love, and confidence she has found in Jesus.

Conversation with Steve and Darlene In this second conversation of our Parenting Series, we continue exploring the journey of parents wrestling with the decision to leave the 2x2 church and its impact on their children. I’m joined by Steve and Darlene Hegyi from Kamloops, British Columbia, whose story is a little different from last week: their children were older when they left the church. Steve and Darlene speak openly about the pressures they unwittingly placed on themselves and their children to be the “ideal professing family,” and share how they’ve worked deliberately to create a healthy, non-judgmental dynamic—carefully giving their children the freedom to choose their own paths. Their account of the family’s excitement and preparation to welcome their first grandchild is a heartwarming, hope-filled highlight of this episode. Through their faith and years of counseling, learning, and research, the Hegyi family has cultivated a thoughtful, intentional approach to family life. Whether you’re navigating similar challenges or simply interested in parenting, faith, and family growth, their openness offers insight, honesty, and hope.

Beyond Religion with Dawn Warnaca Dawn’s story shows how someone from outside can be drawn into the 2x2 church. Conversions are rare, but certain life circumstances can make the group feel appealing. She explains what led her in, and later how a dark period in her life ultimately pushed her to leave the church. Dawn's poems: *The Progression of Depression* *Stage I* The darkness it hangs Like a cloud in the night Clinging behind… A string and a kite Bearing down closer The darkness it spreads Bringing with it the pressure The fear and the dread It may well surround me It might as well drown me This darkness I see at the edge of my eye The darkness won’t stop, I can’t help wonder why. The darkness it hangs Like a cloud in the night Clinging behind A string and a kite *Stage II* Hiding here in the eddy As the river goes right past It flows on too quickly It will take me far too fast I’m safer here in the quiet Safer, here where it’s slow The water moves more gently I really have nowhere to go The overgrowth is tight above The water is close below Slipping under would be so easy Swirling round and round I know Fear grips my heart Under these willows of bone Life passes by Over pebbles and stone Hiding here in the eddy As the river goes right past It flows on much too quickly It will take me far too fast *Stage III* The sounds have all been muffled By all the historic noise Tranquillized, anesthetized No hope, no love, no joys Encompassed by such emptiness It penetrates each cell Reaching out is useless This is a private hell I’ve no sense of time I’ve no sense of space I have no sense of meaning I’ll leave no trace No one will even notice As I slip below This layer of fog and water To death, I’ll say “hello” This lake it has no bottom The sides they have no shore The fog is thick and shrouded Around me only more The sounds have all been muffled By all the historic noise Tranquillized, anesthetized No hope, no love, no joys *Stage IV* It’s there…on the horizon Just under the sea Lingering as it bides its time Waiting there for me I stand here on the precipice Watching… waiting… still I’ve no strength left to fight again It will win against my will Petrified… it’s Suicide Peace comes with the surrender Knowing it is time to go One last breath - its all I’ve left Why does it come so slow? Climb inside in a moment in time Dragged beneath by my feet Claustrophobically crushed or taken down Either way there’s no retreat Petrified… it’s Suicide. Hesitation… trepidation Terror… reason… medication Slowly receding back out to sea Lighthouse flashes indication It’s there… on the horizon Just under the sea Lingering as it bides the time Waiting there for me Dawn Warnaca October 2004 *This Side of Suicide* In reaching out my hand to God He did not take me up He did not take me in Instead he turned his face away And left me here to live Left me here to live On This side of suicide This side of suicide Is reaching out gently to touch a face It’s leaning in to offered embrace It is warm laundry and time to fold And finding here a hand to hold Dishes to wash, floors to sweep, Dust and then all those appointments to keep It is ordinary days, ordinary ways Of staying alive for living sake This side of suicide Is taking risks… it is being bold A class, a teacher, inspiring quotes, making an old friend Going ahead and accepting the love they lend It is family complications It is stress and mess and taking a walk Having a heart to heart talk It is a summer cold, and a winter fire A book to read A garden to weed Poems to write, and words to share Noticing now that I actually care And it doesn’t even matter, what I care about Only that I’m interested That the lawn needs mowing Or a movie is showing Life is passing by, and I want to try It no longer matters why It is ordinary days, ordinary ways Of staying alive for living sake This side of suicide Is hard at first to recognize The boundaries crossed are not clearly marked The steps not summarized It is intimacy, legitimacy, lifting my head in shame It is premature ejaculation Monday morning masturbation It is taking a morning AND a nighttime shower Feeling clean Feeling ripe It’s being honest one more time And then over and over, and over again Facing failure, addiction, alcohol, all of that and so much more It is putting the puppy out to play Wondering what it is I have to do today It is picking up poop, Sitting on the stoop Checking the chickens in their coop It is in not knowing what to do… And doing anything else instead Ordinary spaces, ordinary places, Ordinary days Ordinary ways Of staying alive, for living sake So if at first you don’t succeed If you find you fail On this side of suicide It is good to be alive.

Finding Freedom and Leaving the 2x2's - Tristan Phipps - Beyond The Surface In this episode, Tristan shares what it was like growing up in the 2x2's, a high-control religious group that shaped much of his early life. He reflects on the strange mix of freedom and restriction in his childhood, and the confusion that can come from trying to make sense of both the good memories and the harmful parts of that upbringing. Tristan talks about the lingering impact of indoctrination, while also acknowledging the ways his experiences helped him navigate life outside the group once he left. It’s a thoughtful conversation about holding complexity, making sense of a religious past, and the importance of talking openly about these stories so people don’t have to process them alone. Connect with Tristan over on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/from_fear2freedom/ or here of Youtube - https://youtube.com/@advocacy_and_melodies?si=As7YvBoXFXJrjP0j Your Host You can find out more about Sam on her website - www.anchoredcounsellingservices.com.au To connect with Sam on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anchoredcounsellingservices/ Want to contact with Sam about the podcast or therapy?

Parenting: A conversation with Alisha Barr This conversation is the first in a planned series focusing on the experiences of parents as they consider how leaving the 2x2 church community would impact their children. Alisha Barr graciously shared aspects of her family’s journey, including her efforts to help the church become a safe place for her children, the anguish of fearing that her choices might lead to her children being eternally separated from God, and her eventual recognition that she needed to reclaim the agency she had ceded to the ministry in guiding her children in their spiritual seeking. I deeply appreciate the courage and wisdom Alisha expresses as we reflect on her momentous decision to leave the church, the different ways of being she has been able to settle into with her family since then, and what she hopes other parents might consider as they face similar decisions. Alisha asked me to make one correction. She mistakenly said that she joined the Washington/N Idaho/Alaska (WaNidAk) advocacy team in March 2023. That team was not formed until later in 2023. Its creation was spurred by the events within the 2x2 church beginning in March 2023.

Teena opens up about how she moved from a "wrecking ball" approach to her faith, shedding exclusivity and rigid doctrine, to finding a new, inclusive community within a progressive church. We explore the emotional toll of leaving a lifelong religion and how she eventually found a "balm" for her soul in local community and a faith that welcomes questions over certainties.

Jesus Isn't Watching: Pleasure Post 2x2s w/ Kristin Warnaca One of the biggest things that my healing journey entailed was actually learning this body belongs to me. I belong to me.Kristin Warnaca is a sex therapist and a former member of the 2x2s. She joins us for a wide-ranging discussion on sex and relationships: how they are constrained within the 2x2s; the effect that has on former members; and the wide world of pleasure that is waiting for anyone who cares to look.This conversation includes Kristin's experiences of being assaulted both as a child and as an adult, so please go gently and slowly with these stories. It's okay to come back another time if today you're feeling fragile.ResourcesLinks to Kristin's work:www.wilderintimacy.comhttps://www.instagram.com/wilderintimacy/Link to Substack, where we will later release a list of books and recommended resources:https://lauramcconnellau.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipsFurther reading:Kissing: A Field Guide — Violet BluePolywise — Fern & CooleyIt’s Called Polyamory — Tamara Pincus & Rebecca HilesSex — Ali PaulEmbracing Queer Family — Laura ChiaramonteRadical Intimacy — Sophie K.

Beyond Religion with Paul Abenroth Paul takes us on a journey that spans more than 80 years. After spending 10 years in the ministry in the Washington State region during the 1960s, he brings a wealth of knowledge and firsthand insight into the inner workings of the 2x2 church. Hearing how his beliefs have evolved over the decades, and where he stands today, is a powerful reminder that we never have to settle for beliefs that don’t resonate with us at our core.

Ep 11 Unlearning Purity - Men, Emotions, and Real Relationships with Steve and Bill Steve VanDermyden and Bill Schueler joined me for a conversation about their experiences in purity culture in the 2x2 church and the work they are doing after leaving. They share openly and vulnerably about the impact of their upbringing on their emotional health and how they show up in relationships. Steve also brings insights from his professional work as a relationship coach. We talk about the lack of healthy emotional and relational role models, how to navigate conflict, communication in realtionships, sex positivity and the challenge of maintaining individuality in relationships where we were taught to be codependent.
