Not Your Mother's Podcast

Okay, wow! 😱 First of all, this episode is *super* explicit! Additionally, the “sexy stuff" that Bob & “JoBeth” get into in these chapters will blow your mind!

Never have we been both so incensed and simultaneously cracked up by the nitty-gritty details that they chose to share.

From Bob telling the fellas how they should touch their wives to “JoBeth” telling the ladies once more just how to be uber subservient, this episode will have you in stitches, cause you to be morally outraged, oooooor maybe a little bit of both. 🤣 Enjoy, NYM Fam!

From rattlesnakes to the "plan of salvation", chapter 5 of Jack Schaap's "Dating With A Purpose" had it all!

In this chapter, Mr. Schaap takes a closer look at what he feels teenagers and young adults should be looking for in a partner as well as what NOT to look for.

This chapter really cracked us up so if you're looking for some laughs, we recommend it! 🤣

Yes! It's been months and we're sorry for that but we could not be more excited to bring you an episode that has been months in the making and carries with it a message of healing and help.

Stuart was inspired by a few of his friends to compile conversations that his peers would like to have with their parents but are held back by the legalism of the Independent Fundamental Baptist Movement.

These conversations ranged from catching parents up on what's going on in their adult (and in many cases estranged) children's lives to expressing frustration for their parent's refusal to accept them for who they are and simply love them as their children.

Stuart brought on his parents for this episode in order for them to help us all process the angst that we've encountered when trying to deal with our IFB parents. Max & Katy Hardy were steeped in the IFB and are fully aware (as parents) just how difficult it can be for the children of IFB parents when those children attempt to speak with their parents on any and all matters.

Whether you're simply curious about the IFB or possibly looking for catharsis in the midst of a struggle with family for religious reasons, we hope that you enjoy and are helped by this episode.

Chapter 4 of Jack Schaap's "Dating With A Purpose" is entitled "Principles Of Dress" and it comes as no surprise to Stuart that the chapter is devoted almost *entirely* to calling out women for what they're wearing & how they are presenting themselves.

As we covered this chapter in a very brief version of StoryTime With Stu, we re-discovered that Schapp had put forth impossible "standards" (they were his own, legalistic preferences really) for women.

At one point he stated that dresses which are too lengthy are immodest as well as skirts that were too short.

He also said that both "too much" (by his standards, which he could create "on the fly" for any given situation) makeup and not enough makeup would not be "up to par" for his standards.

The title of Chapter 3 in Jack Schaap's "Dating With A Purpose" is "Defraud Not One Another" and it really peels back the curtain on the legalism that prohibits adolescents & young adults from properly maturing in both a sexual and a romantic manner in their relationships (within the Independent Fundamental Baptist Movement).

As Stuart reads along he is struck by quite a few thoughts that lead young people to develop "hangups" that can manifest themselves later in life as they seek to deconstruct their faith and date in the "real world".

In our third installment of reading through the combined works of Bob & JoBeth Hooker, Stuart was surprised by how many times he found himself agreeing with the sentiment that the authors *seemed* to be displaying. However, he did not fail to stay the course in regard to the main theme of this book: Sexism.

Time & time again as we read these passages, we find that many of the "ideas" presented seem a bit benign and almost cute but when put in the proper IFB perspective they are damn condescending at best.

We’re now getting into chapter two of this unreal book and we dive deeper into some of the (seemingly concocted out of thin air) narratives that Jack Schaap has to share. We guarantee you’ll get a kick out of them!

Please, bear with Stuart as he becomes quite flustered with the ridiculousness of it all and does in fact not hold back.

If you have an aversion to talk of sex and / or naughty words this episode may not be for you and we totally get that. 😉

Oh, one more thing! Please stick around to the end to see us connect the dots between Jack’s zany stories and what Stuart calls “The Chuck Norris Of The High School Cafeteria”.

We had a ton of fun reading through the second chapters in each section (all three) of this book by Bob & JoBeth Hooker.

We took a closer look at the condescension as well as the sexually frustrating problems that the IFB system creates and subsequently gives poor (at best) advice for solving.

You’re sure to get a laugh or two from this (shorter than usual) episode as we explore the pitfalls of IFB ideology in marriage.

Wow! We had an incredibly cathartic, entirely eye-opening and thoroughly enjoyable conversation with Shellie in this episode.

This yet another episode that we’re certain any attendee or alum of Hyles-Anderson college will enjoy. We talked about everything from summer tour to the weirdest chapel speakers & messages we’ve ever been subjected to.

We also discussed what it looks like to be on the other side of the Independent Fundamental Baptist Movement once you’ve exited and the fact that much of our fears about leaving the faith are unwarranted (also, there is so much help and love to assist in overcoming the warranted fears).
