JWTR #005 - Magdalene Rose

What do you do when the church that's supposed to welcome you turns you away for how you look? Magdalene Rose is a Christian rock and metalcore artist who has spent her whole career answering that question — with dark lipstick, heavy breakdowns, and a testimony she refuses to keep quiet.
In this conversation, Magdalene shares the long road that got her here: growing up in a band with her sisters, marrying into the Seventh Day Slumber family, and turning her hardest season — a years-long fight with anorexia and depression — into the song "Teeth Eater" and a movement of people getting matching tooth tattoos to mark their own recovery.
We talk about the prayer that changed everything, the one she prayed when she couldn't even want to get better: "God, help me want to want this." We talk about why seeking help from doctors and therapists isn't weak faith. And we talk about the spring several churches canceled her shows — not over her music, but over her appearance — and the pastor's apology that came afterward, the part of the story nobody usually gets to hear.
This is a conversation about belonging, about the people Jesus actually sat with, and about what God does with the wreckage.
