What happens when biblical patriarchy, christian nationalism, and a theology of authority and submission become the pillars of a movement? Scores of abuse stories in marriages, schools, churches, families, and more. Though these ideas have filtered throughout the United States for decades, they found a home in Moscow, Idaho, through the ministry and work of Doug Wilson. From there, they have influ... more

  • Seemingly started to eat its own

    I sincerely appreciate what this podcast is trying to do in calling out heretical theology and abuse in the church. However somewhere along the line, in an attempt to drum up support from non believers, the podcast seemingly started to alienate Christians listeners. It seemed like many of the “academic” guests lumped any conservative Christian who wants to homeschool into the Christian Nationalis/Dooney supporters group. I understand having a panel of diverse guests but just because someone call... more

  • Vital Information

    Ignore the low reviews of this podcast. Certain people don’t want the truth to come out. This podcast holds vital information regarding Doug Wilson and the false kingdom he has created that is not of Jesus. It exposes his twisted, heretic theology, abuse that has happened and purposely gone ignored, and the dangers of his movement and denomination (if you can call it that). Now that he has gone mainstream-ish, everyone needs to listen so they know who exactly this man is.

  • I feel less alone

    I am so incredibly grateful for this important podcast. I felt so hopeless as a Christian totally baffled by the evangelical support of MAGA and felt kind of alone in my concerns in my local church so it meant the world to me to find this podcast that shared my same concerns with Christian Nationalism!

  • Truth Telling

    I’m grateful for this safe space of truth-tellers. Their work to expose abuse and lies is important. It’s vital to speak up about what’s happening in these fundamentalist, cult-like communities, as their impact is far-reaching.
