## Resource

Evangelicals did not need to take a masterclass in brainwashing. They just built a culture where fear, shame, and thought-stopping clichés do the job for them. In this episode, we unpack how teachings about hell get wired into people through sacred science, loaded language, purity culture logic, fear-based altar calls, and the constant demand to distrust your own gut. We also dig into the Bible passages they love to weaponize and why those verses do not actually support the modern evangelical version of hell. If you have ever felt your nervous system light up just hearing the word “salvation,” this one may help you finally name what happened. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
