S5E02: Kicking Off the New Year with Spiritual Abuse: How Romantic Comedies Can Reinforce the Worst Parts of Evangelical Culture, with Katherine Spearing
“Romantic comedies and chick lit reflect messages that are prevalent in both secular culture and religious spaces. Although Christian spaces give lots of lip service to being counter cultural, they usually repackage the same message from popular culture with a different wrapping paper.”
We continue our mini-series Let’s Kick Off the New Year with Spiritual Abuse, with Katherine Spearing, co-founder of Tears of Eden and author of Hartfords, a historical romantic comedy. Katherine talks with us about how literature can often reinforce some of the rigid, unhelpful ideas about gender and relationships, and how writing Hartfords positively impacted her own healing process. Join us as we explore:
Chiclit and Romcoms (2:00)
Jane Austen and Subtle Messaging (6:00)
The Fear of Art Within the Church (16:00)
Art as a Means of Survival (21:00)
Psychology, Art, and the Church (26:00)
Rom Coms and the Church (31:00)
Friendship within Hartfords (35:00)
The Power of the Pen (40:00)
Deconstruction and Hartfords (45:00)
Healing (59:00)
