My parents were deeply influenced by Doug Wilson, Bill Gothard, James Dobson, etc. They followed the rules. They did everything by the book. High control.

It didn’t work. At all. The results are pain, divorce, fractures. Half my siblings refuse to talk to my dad. Only my dad is still protestant. Everyone else is orthodox or catholic or walked away from faith altogether. The pain from these terrible teachings has lasting consequences.

I’m sharing these episodes in hopes that maybe one family will be spared the pain that we went through. There are a lot of good people here on Nostr who are finding Jesus and trying to do life right, just like my parents were before they got sucked into Wilson’s orbit.

I highly recommend listening to this episode even if you listen to none of the others. The two guests make very solid arguments, which are fully consistent with sound doctrine.

And to front run the haters, I’m not a theological liberal, a feminist, or an apologist for the cultural zeitgeist. Maybe I’m a little bitter at Wilson, but I have to be at this point just so I don’t blame my parents. Wilson probably wouldn’t take an ounce of responsibility for his role in this. But for him, ideology comes first, and so even if my family is a casualty of his crusade it’s a price worth paying.

Anyone want to play the Superbowl Square Board with some fellow nostriches? This is the 3rd year I’ve put it on. Even is the game sux, it will make the game a little more excited if you might win some sats.
