In this episode we begin to discuss the research work that Christie Love has been doing exploring religious trauma through a lens of Negative Religious Experiences (NREs). Christie explains her research framework to us and introduces listeners to the first five of the ten NREs that she has identified and gathered data on.

Christie also shared that she has recently begun a national study on this concept that is modeled on a large-scale case study that she completed in SW Missouri in 2023. You can participate in this research by visiting the Research Center online at the Flipped Table Collective website: https://www.flippedtablecollective.com/research-center
