In this conversation, Ruth Perry and Becky Buck explore their personal journeys of faith, the challenges of deconstructing traditional beliefs, and the importance of love and community in spiritual growth. They discuss the impact of religious trauma, the complexities of gender roles within faith, and the need for critical thinking in understanding one's beliefs. The dialogue emphasizes the significance of reclaiming identity and voice, particularly for women in high-control religious environments, and the transformative power of love in fostering a deeper connection with God. Together, they founded The Beautiful Kingdom Warriors blog and Facebook page in 2014, which Ruth has continued as a solo project.
