On this week's episode, we're deconstructing again! (surprise, surprise)

We talk about Liberty Lost, a podcast about how Liberty University housed young unmarried pregnant girls/women and pressured them to give those children up for adoption in exchange for a full ride to college.

We unpack the conditioning of purity culture, its patriarchal roots, and how women/girls end up in this type of situation.

Also, this is our 52nd episode! Thank you for listening! :)

On this week's episode, we continue our conversation about Shiny Happy People, including season 2 which highlighted the organization Teen Mania.

We talk about how evangelical communities latched onto/created a Christian subculture to indoctrinate young children and teenagers, including:

• The obsession with and fixation on death
• How these organizations break you down and then provide a place to belong
• The performative nature of these environments
• The political ties to these organizations

We also explore the question, "Do these people earnestly believe in this, or are they just following a pyramid scheme that benefits them?"

On this week's episode we start out the pod talking about a book that inspired Amanda and how artists/people pursuing a uniquely creative life need to live out their lives unconcerned with status.

Then, we dive into the docuseries Shiny Happy People. We talk extensively about the Duggar family and the cult organization they were associated with, the Institute of Basic Life Principles. We break down why somebody would join such an organization while making comparisons between their doctrine and the doctrine we encountered in Christian churches and schools while we were growing up.

We had so much to say on this topic that we're dropping part 2 of this discussion next week!
