Chrissy Stroop is one of the leaders of the #Exvangelical movement of those raised in evangelical traditions who are leaving their churches. As the editor of the book Empty the Pews: Stories of Leaving the Church, she brought together the personal, powerful stories of 26 former evangelicals who left their religious upbringings and the challenges they faced. Chrissy joins Alyssa Milano to discuss sexism, homophobia, and other hateful ideas that are driving people from evangelical churches in record numbers, the hypocrisy of evangelicals in their support of Donald Trump, and whether and how true change can be achieved from within evangelical communities.
