On this episode we have on author Marisa Burt.

We talked about being a mom to 6 kids, balancing time and intentionality with kids, over researching things, how she ended up in the pacific north west and how unique every kid can be.

A lot of our talk is about her new book she wrote with Kelsey Kramer McGinnis,  The Myth of Good Christian Parenting How False Promises Betrayed a generation of evangelical families. 

This book is a deep dive into Christian parenting some of you may have been raised on.  Who wrote the books our parents read, the legacy of the people and the lasting effect of the teachings.  Marissa and Kelsey do a great job with this book discussing the culture of communities while asking the question if the teachings are Biblical or not.

I think a lot of parenting is looking back at your childhood and deciding to repeat or change habits and patterns.  I know a lot of people who had deconstructed, or were raised in a church environment and this book puts a lot of great words and language to feelings and realities I’ve experienced and I know other people have too.

If you’re interested in checking out the book you can find it anywhere books are sold, and on audible.
