Sarah McCammon’s path from faith to freedom

Sarah McCammon grew up in an evangelical Christian family in Kansas City, where she was taught to fear God and help others do the same. But as time went on, her faith faded and she started questioning the existence of God, which eventually led her to leave her religious life behind.

She shares this personal journey in her book, “The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church.”
