What’s it like to grow up in a strict Christian, fundamentalist home? 
The effects of growing up being “sheltered from the evil world” can linger with people, long after they’ve grown up, left home, and are raising families of their own. Sometimes they never do get out, and are still within “the system.”
My sister Valerie Cunningham and I got together and recorded this episode sharing our stories of growing up, and surviving, a fundamentalist Christian upbringing.
Valerie also shares her heartbreaking story of becoming pregnant at just 17, giving up her child for adoption, and dealing with the fallout of the many decisions that were made for her at the time.
If any of these issues relates to you, or describe your own journey, then you are not going to want to miss this podcast episode!
