  • Love this. Great deconstruction of the lies told by Christian thought leaders in the parenting sphere. Useful for Christians looking to wisely select healthier materials, and deconstructed/deconstructing folks to see what was true and choose their path forward

For example, I loved hearing from Katherine North on the latest episode but it was almost impossible to keep listening because of Clint’s constant talking over her.

    If I missed straight, white, cis men acting like they have it all figured out, I’d go ba... more
