In this life-changing episode of Under the Rug, I sit down with Meredith Swift, an author who spent 15 years immersed in New Age spirituality—crystals, meditation, spirit guides—searching for peace but finding only exhaustion and emptiness.
Her life was radically transformed when she encountered the truth of Jesus Christ.
Meredith’s powerful testimony includes:
- The deception and striving of New Age practices vs. the freedom found in Jesus
- The miraculous moment she and her daughter accepted Christ on the same day
- Escaping a 20-year marriage marked by domestic violence after hearing God’s audible voice say, “This stops now.”
- Breaking spiritual strongholds and stepping into healing
- The inspiration behind her latest book, Escape from Fragmentia: The Quest for Remembrance
Meredith’s story is raw, real, and full of hope for anyone trapped in deception, abuse, or despair.

In this powerful episode of Under the Rug, Nalini Tranquim sits down with Elizabeth Woning—co-founder of Changed Movement, theologian, and former lesbian—who shares her deeply personal journey from identity confusion and mental illness to healing, clarity, and wholeness in Christ.
Raised in a progressive church, Elizabeth pursued seminary openly gay and built her life around LGBT culture. But a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit during a small-town youth service unraveled everything she thought she knew.
That moment sparked a journey not of shame, but of revelation—leading her to rediscover God, redefine her identity, and experience deep restoration.
This isn’t just a testimony.
It’s a prophetic invitation for the Church to step into the hard conversations—with truth, love, and the power of the Gospel.
In this episode, we cover:
- Elizabeth’s honest journey through sexuality, theology, and mental illness
- The transforming power of encountering a personal God
- How the Church can offer more than just inclusion—it can offer healing
- What real discipleship looks like in a culture of self-defined identity
- Encouragement for families with LGBTQ+ loved ones
- The birth of Changed Movement and their advocacy in policy and discipleship
Whether you’re navigating your own questions around identity, loving someone who is, or leading within the Church, this episode is both a challenge and an encouragement.
It reminds us that God still heals. He still restores. And the truth—spoken in love—still sets people free.

There’s a bill in UK Parliament right now that’s being sold as compassionate and dignified — but what’s really behind it? In this gripping episode of Under the Rug, Nalini Tranquim sits down with Dr Susan Marriott, Head of Public Policy at the Christian Medical Fellowship, to unpack the truth about the End of Life Bill — and how similar legislation is spreading across the globe.
What begins as a discussion about the UK quickly expands into a global wake-up call: Australia has legalised assisted dying across every state. The U.S. is following suit in states like New York and Florida. And what takes root in the first world will inevitably ripple into the developing world.
This episode is a prophetic confrontation of a culture of death — cloaked in the language of “choice” and “compassion.” The Church must rise. We must speak life.
🔥 PUNCHY TAKEAWAYS:
- “What the world calls compassion is often just convenience.”
- “A bill like this doesn’t offer choice — it shifts the burden onto the vulnerable.”
- “Once you legalise death as healthcare, you’ve crossed a dangerous line.”
- “This is spiritual warfare masquerading as healthcare reform.”

Grab your copy of Nalini's book 'The Orange Hue'. It’s available in paperback, ebook and audio.
It took Nalini years to recover from her abuse. She'd lost sight of her identity and her confidence.
Until we discover who we are and awaken confidence within us again, we risk just sitting on the sidelines and missing out on what God has in store for us.
It’s time to get back up, dust off the dirt and move forward into a whole new adventure with our Saviour!
As a direct result of Nalini's own journey to healing and a culmination of hours spent with people who have battled in the area of identity, Nalini has put together a Personal Development Program that will help you Shift from Insecure to Confident.
If you’re in the aftermath of a painful journey, and in need of a fresh touch from Heaven, come and join Nalini for Ripple of Revival. An online gathering of worship, word, prayer and prophecy.
God is restoring His Church. Jesus is coming back for His pure and spotless bride and there is work to be done.
It’s time to rebuild what has been broken, it’s time to restore what has been stolen. It’s time to be vigilant and alert, to work out our Salvation, to seperate truth from lies, to be discerning of the times, to prune that which is dead in order to bring forth life.
'The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.' John 10:10
'Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory int he church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.' Ephesians 3:20-21

In this week's episode of 'Under the Rug', we continue with our four part series ’The Church Behind The Curtain’.
Here in Part 3 | 4 - 'From Bathroom Floor to Out The Door', Nalini continues to address her experience of abuse within the church.
One of the questions that was submitted prior to recording this interview was;
‘Do you feel that by staying within the church, under abusive leadership, that you are actually inadvertently enabling the abuse?’
Nalini answers this very question in today's episode.
You can also watch this series on Youtube:
Part 1 | 4 - Director to Dishes
Part 2 | 4 - Glam Up to Blow Up
Part 3 | 4 - From Bathroom Floor to Out The Door
In this series ‘The Church Behind The Curtain’, Nalini explores:
- the early-day-signs of abuse and subtle acceleration of the abuse,
- the growing effects of the abuse not only on her, but her loved ones too,
- how she handled the abuse, healed from it and how you can recover from your own experiences of church leadership abuse also.
Please note: Nalini's current church has played an integral part in her healing.
If you have stepped away from church or are experiencing abuse within the church, I say this:
God is a restorative God.
God is NOT an abusive God.
Christian Leaders who abuse their power and authority will be answerable to God.

Catch up on 'Part 1 | 4 - Director to Dishes' before getting into today's episode, as it will give you much needed context.
In this week’s episode of Under the Rug, 'Part 2 | 4 - Glam Up to Blow Up', Nalini continues to address her experience of abuse within the church and shares on a particular scenario that is known as the 'double bind.' *Listener discretion is advised.
You can also watch today's episode on Youtube.
In our series ‘The Church Behind The Curtain’, Nalini explores:
- the early-day-signs of abuse and subtle acceleration of the abuse,
- the growing effects of the abuse not only on her, but her loved ones too,
- how she handled the abuse, healed from it and how you can recover from your own experiences of church leadership abuse also.
Please note: Nalini's current church has played an integral part in her healing.
God is NOT abusive, but RESTORATIVE.
Christian Leaders who abuse their power and authority will be answerable to God.

‘Who do you think you are that you’ve got a bad attitude because you can’t drop your kids off at school, when you’ve been given this incredible opportunity to serve the church, and to serve God and to serve His people...'
In this week’s episode of Under the Rug (the first of a three part series), Nalini opens up about her experience of narcissistic abuse within the church.
In this series, she explores:
- the early-day-signs of abuse and subtle acceleration of the abuse,
- the growing effects of the abuse not only on her, but her loved ones too,
- how she handled the abuse, healed from it and how you can recover from your own experiences of church leadership abuse also.
Please note: Nalini's current church has played an integral part in her healing.
If you have stepped away from church for whatever reason, your Heavenly Father is calling you back so that you can heal and be restored.
Don't fight it.
Don't allow imperfect humans who mis-represent Him sabotage your relationship with a perfect God.
He has so much in store for you.

Federal authorities described Mike Savage as a criminal mastermind capable of bending people to his will. He was that and more.
His criminal empire was the subject of a five-year federal investigation that culminated in his indictment on 101 criminal charges that ultimately put him in prison for fifteen years, two months, and twenty-eight days.
From Mike’s perspective, he would lose everything in his life, including his beloved wife who had no idea Mike was a criminal.
In today's episode, you will hear from both Mike & Cynthia's perspective.
Mike is now a Professor in Bible Theology & Psychology. He and his wife Cynthia run a podcast called ‘A Savage Perspective’.
Mike is also the author of 'A Prisoner's Perspective: 'The Redemption of a Criminal Master Mind.’
