In part 2 of our discussion on evangelical youth conversion agenda, Spider and Shelle take a closer look at how evangelicals target teens and young adults in their race to convert people before they reach the pivotal age of 18. Conversion tactics used on teenagers are especially aggressive and are designed to prey on adolescent insecurities. For those who escape evangelical indoctrination through high school, there's college and career-centered evangelism that targets the same pain points and points.

Spider and Shelle look at the tactics evangelical children's ministries use to insert religious indoctrination into the minds of children and why it works so well. What are your kids being taught about life and faith when you're not there to hear? What happens when strangers assert their right to convert children absent of parental knowledge and consent? We answer these questions and more in part one of our very telling look at how aggressively some children's and youth ministry leaders instill religious thinking in the minds of children literally from birth forward.

To be fair, toxic masculinity isn't an exclusively evangelical problem, but evangelical thought goes miles toward validating and perpetuating some of the worst manifestations of it. Spider and Shelle start out with a few more important comments about the current pandemic crisis, citing even more evangelical nonsense and how following the lead of certain evangelical leaders can promote the spread. The main topic is one that needs as much exposure and criticism as it can get. This is one of our longest episodes and we think we could have said even more.
