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.
