Trust Me: Cults, Extreme Belief, and Manipulation

Tia Levings, Part 2 - Questioning Fundamentalism, Motherhood, and the Dangers of Christian Nationalism

In part 2 with Tia Levings, author of A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy, Tia she discusses how, in the midst of a church-sanctioned abusive relationship, motherhood began to change her beliefs - at first making her more zealous. She'll talk about how her time trying to save her baby in the children's hospital, plus working with women doctors and nurses, planted the seeds to help her imagine a world that wasn't completely run by men.

She discusses moving to more heavily patriarchal churches, how the churches may change but it's all part of the same larger evangelical culture, and how she joined a more extreme and isolated one as her husband became more authoritarian. Plus, she touches on her recovery process, as well as the ongoing and growing danger of fundamentalist Christianity in the United States government.
