  • 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.

  • Not going far enough

    This podcast critiques “Biblical Patriarchy” but sidesteps the root of the problem — the Torah and the doctrine of biblical inerrancy. The hosts call out authoritarian and abusive interpretations, yet still cling to the idea that the Bible is a moral guide. That’s not liberation; that’s self-gaslighting.

    What they miss is that Western civilization wasn’t built on Torah law at all — it was shaped far more by Roman ideals like citizenship, civil law, and republican governance. The Torah’s system ... more

The Myth of Good Christian Parenting
Q: How does sin in development get discussed in these communities?

The Myth of Good Christian Parenting
Q: Why are Christians so obsessed with specific parenting guidelines?
Burt explains that a combination of historical influences, fear-based messaging about the consequences of poor parenting, and a reliance on spiritual authority contribute to this obsession.

Healing from Evangelicalism
Q: What would you tell them?
It's okay to say, I'm not going through your court, I'm not meeting with you in any way, shape or form.
