why Christian vloggers & reality TV stars exploit their kids for fame

video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/t4KIDLqja34 Time to discuss a topic that has bothered me for many years, why do people who claim to love children so much often exploit them? In this episode we discuss the Quiverfull movement, and what I call "mass media evangelism" and why so many evangelicals seem to be clamoring for fame despite the obvious toll it takes on their family.

I was raised in Christian Nationalism (it's a cult)

Video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PcmbvwqZdcE I'm finally telling my story. I was raised Christian Nationalist, homeschooled, and isolated my entire childhood. I didn't know anything outside of my fundie Christian upbringing until I was 23 years old. Encountering the truth made my entire life make a lot more sense. I posted this first episode on YouTube, and many encouraged me to make a podcast series, so here we are. Talking freely about my past and hearing from other ex-fundies has been very cathartic for me. I feel more free than I ever have before, thank you all.
