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.
