91. Growing up Seventh-Day Adventist (Melissa Duge Spiers' Story)
Melissa Duge Spiers grew up Seventh-day Adventist in a world shaped by strict rules, purity culture, and expectations of what it meant to be a good Christian woman. We talk about Ellen G. White and the beginnings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Melissa’s rebellion and eventual separation from her upbringing, and the devastating truth she later learned about her father. Melissa is the author of Holy Disobedience, a memoir about breaking free from harmful religious expectations and finding healing on the other side.-Melissa’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.glory.whole/Holy Disobedience:https://www.lakedrivebooks.com/books/holy-disobedienceMelissa’s Substack: https://substack.com/@melissadugespiers-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealedishFollow for more: Jubilee’s TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns Jubilee’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns Healed-ish TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healedishpodcast Healed-ish IG: https://www.instagram.com/healedishpodcast Apply To Share Your Story: https://forms.gle/23f8SPBX1VntsqUU8
