Evangelicals and Fear of the Unknown

Em is back after a 6 month hiatus, to talk about the intersection of religion, patriarchy and early human civilization and how humans learned to use fear to control individuals and large groups of humans. This episode discusses several important talking points that will be hashed out even further in episodes to come. She also mentions the book The Patriarchs: The Origins of Inequality by Angela Saini (2023, Beacon Press Books). For some interesting content on early humans, Netflix currently has some quality documentaries you can check out. Thanks for listening and welcome back.

Purpose. Hope. Justice. For all those harmed in white evangelical spaces. Emily is a blogger who has been writing about faith deconstruction and religious trauma related topics for 3 years. As someone who grew up inside white evangelicalism (of the charismatic Pentecostal variety) and didn't leave until she was 35 years old, she's done everything from children's ministry, to church administrative work, to leading small groups and ministries, to church finance, to writing small group curriculum. Now she advocates for those who've been abused by those same church systems and doctrine.
