How to create a podcast like this:
1. Read a best-selling marriage book that has helped thousands of people but YOU think it’s harmful to women.
2. Get a publisher to pay for and survey a large sample of women who share your views (known as self-selection, snowball sampling).
3. Publish this “data” that (surprise!) supports your view and pretend it’s not your opinion because it’s “based on research.” Don’t forget to make LOTS of causal connections from (biased) data that can only be correlative.... more
I am one of many who has been helped and healed by the work and research of Sheila, Rebecca and Joanna.

This podcast is one of the most important podcasts by one of the most influential teams of our day. Anyone giving it low stars doesn’t get their hearts and likely needs to do some inner work to face the misogyny we’ve all been surrounded by. It’s not anti man in any way; it’s about healing unhealthy views in order to be empowered through Christ.
