Description

Addie Zierman grew up “on fire” for God in the ‘90s, in the era of WWJD bracelets, Acquire the Fire youth conferences, and “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” embracing the us-versus-them evangelical Christian faith she’d inherited … until the fire went out.

This full-cast, four-part audio drama podcast was created by Lizzie Goldsmith, and is based on the 2013 book “When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over” by Addie Zierman. It’s a funny, heartbreaking, deeply personal, and ultimately hopeful story about faith, doubt, and first love, though it does include themes of religious trauma, emotional abuse, and depression.
