Jinger Duggar Vuolo Opens Up to Lecrae About Escaping Cult-Like Religious Upbringing

This is the B-Side of culture, conversation, & chaos.

Beth Moore sits down with Lecrae on The Deep End Podcast for a raw and powerful conversation about faith, suffering, courage, and the cost of conviction. From her early years teaching Bible studies to leaving the Southern Baptist Convention, Beth opens up about abuse, submission, women in ministry, and why she could no longer stay silent about politics and power in the church.

In this episode, Beth shares how she stayed anchored in Jesus through controversy, how her marriage survived trauma and trials, and how she’s finding new belonging in the Anglican church. This is a conversation about faithfulness in the wilderness, the danger of marrying church and empire, and the unshakable hope we have in Christ.

🔑 Topics we cover:

Beth Moore’s journey from Bible teacher to outspoken leader
Leaving the SBC and the backlash that followed
Abuse, power, and submission in the church
Marriage, trauma, and growing old together
Why the church’s alliance with politics is dangerous
What it means to belong when your community turns away

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, tradition, or feeling unwanted by the church—you’re not alone. Beth Moore’s story is a reminder that following Jesus sometimes means standing against the tide.

 When “Biblical” Submission Becomes Abuse | Beth Moore Has Unfiltered Convo w/ Lecrae

Erwin McManus has been called a heretic, a cultural architect, and one of the most misunderstood pastors in America. In this raw and unfiltered conversation with Lecrae, Erwin shares his story—from immigrating from El Salvador and growing up in a broken home, to searching through philosophy and world religions, to finally encountering Jesus in a way that changed everything.

They dive into the tension of being an outsider in the church, why Erwin believes Christianity must reclaim its creativity and imagination, and how his “Seven Frequencies” framework reveals the way people truly communicate. Erwin also opens up about death threats that pushed him out of publishing for years, the immigrant realities shaping his perspective on politics, and why today’s heresy often becomes tomorrow’s orthodoxy.

This episode is about nuance, faith, culture, and what it means to pioneer a new way of following Jesus in a world of conformity.

The Pastor Christianity Wasn’t Ready For - Erwin Raphael McManus

Ross Johnston’s story is anything but ordinary. Conceived through artificial insemination and raised by two moms, Ross grew up far from church and never expected to follow Jesus. But at 15, one simple invitation changed everything.

In this conversation with Lecrae, Ross opens up about navigating faith, identity, and family tension—while still loving and honoring his mom. They discuss the cultural shift in the LGBTQ community, the biblical call to truth and love, and what it means to find your identity in Christ alone.

From street preaching in Hollywood to leading revivals nationwide, Ross shares powerful testimonies of transformation and freedom, and why he believes the presence of God—not just arguments—changes lives.

If you’ve wrestled with how to love people well without compromising your convictions, this conversation is a must-watch.
