For the first RfRx episode of 2023, we are joined by former Canadian Pentecostal turned secular activist, Stacie Grahn. From Pentecostal to Reformed theology, she only ever wanted to find the truth. In this episode, Stacie will discuss her incredible journey over the past year as, not intending to get rid of her faith, she overcame fear, faced down cognitive dissonance, and ultimately found healing in online activism.

After 38 years of living the “perfect” Christian life, being a mother of 3 young boys and a wife of 15 years, Stacie Grahn began to have doubts about her faith as she watched countless other Christians fall for conspiracies. How could people shun science and blindly believe misinformation so easily? That was the tipping point for her to examine what she believed and why. From Pentecostal to Reformed theology, Stacie only ever wanted to find the truth. When the cognitive dissonance was finally put to rest, she found healing in online activism and publicly de-converting. She now shares her story through various online platforms, promotes secular and skeptic thinking, and loves connecting with others who have been through the same religious trauma she experienced.
