TW/CW: physical abuse, emotionally abusive/aggressive caretaker, sexual abuse, animal/pet death.

Krispin & DL discuss a Christian radio drama about spanking/corporal punishment. We're digging into an episode of Adventures in Odyssey (produced & distributed by James Dobson's organization, Focus on the Family) from 1988 that talked about why it was so important.

We're discussing "A Member of the Family Part 1" which debuted in the early years of the program, talking about the importance of spanking. Even if you didn't grow up listening to this radio show, it's an important look into how spanking was practiced and the emotional dynamics surrounding it.

DL and Krispin cover the basics of growing under religious authoritarian parenting — and what we believe therapists should know when they’re helping people heal from this kind of upbringing. 

We talk about six aspects of religious authoritarian parenting, including the goals of this type of parenting, how religion was used, and the developmental delays it creates.

We mention Lindsay Gibson’s book, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and Marlene Winell’s book Leaving the Fold. We also mention Divergent models of childrearing in popular manuals: Conservative Protestants vs. the mainstream experts.” By Bartkowski, J. P., & Ellison, C. G. (1995). Sociology of Religion.

For this bonus episode, D.L. Mayfield interviewed Amber Cantorna-Wylde, author of Out of Focus, My Story of Sexuality, Shame, and Toxic Evangelicalism. DL talked with her about her experience growing up as the daughter of the man in charge of Adventures in Odyssey. Amber’s story is heartbreaking, inspiring, and also a powerful indictment against the people that often told us that “family is everything.”

Today Amber is a powerful advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, focusing on people who grew up in high control religious environments. Make sure to check out her book Out of Focus: My Story of Shame, Sexuality, and Toxic Evangelicalism. She also hosts the Unashamed Love Collective.

D.L interviews Kelley Nikondeha, author of First Advent in Palestine about Christian zionism, and how Palestinians view the year 1948 (often called "The Nakba" or "Catasrophe"). Kelley is the author of The First Advent in Palestine: Reversals, Resistance, and the Ongoing Complexities of Hope. You can follow her on Instagram here.

Here is a great 4-page sheet outlining what happened in 1948. While John Wayne encouraged Bodie Theone to call it “The Jewish Alamo” Palestinians had another word for that year--Nakba, or “the catastrophe.” 

The key has become a symbol of Palestians forced from their homes in 1948 who continue to hope to go home and yet have no rights or protections under which they can do so. 

Here are interviews with four Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank.

A Keffiyeh is a Palestinian scarf that is full of cultural significance. 

Here is both the video and the transcript of Isaac Munther’s sermon “Christ in the rubble”

For further reading D.L. recommends Palestine Speaks and Kelley’s book The First Advent in Palestine (make sure you read all her footnotes!)

Kelley recommends The Lemon Tree and This is Not a Border. She also recommends following and watching content from PAL fest, the Palestinian Art and literature festival. For Christians, she recommends reading Naim Ateek’s book Justice and Only Justice, and Faith in the Face of Empire by Mitri Raheb.  

Sliman Mansour created the image Kelley used for the cover art for her book. You can follow him on Instagram, where he updates almost daiy on the situation.
