Holy Ghost Preacher Boy
by scotloyd
Holy Ghost Preacher Boy is a storytelling podcast that journeys through the echoes of Pentecostal fire, childhood faith, and the slow unraveling of certainty. As a companion to Scot Loyd’s memoir The God I Was Given, this series brings to life the vivid memories, cultural tensions, and spiritual reckonings of growing up in rural Arkansas under the watchful eyes of holiness, family, and fire-baptized tradition. Each episode weaves personal narrative, theological reflection, and cultural critique, exploring the emotional and spiritual terrain of a boy once destined to preach, who later walked away to find a faith beyond the walls that confined him. Through intimate monologues, interviews, and reflections, Holy Ghost Preacher Boy offers listeners a raw and redemptive look at deconstruction—not as loss, but as a sacred path toward something deeper, wider, and more honest. Whether you were raised in the pews or found yourself questioning from the sidelines, this podcast invites you to wrestle, remember, and rediscover what faith might look like when it’s stripped of performance and saturated with grace.
