    Protecting Children from the Harmful Legacy of Dr. Dobson with D.L. Mayfield

    Today's episode is a heavier one. We recorded this conversation in the midst of the newly released Epstein files and the horrific reality that powerful people often protect abusers rather than children. If there was ever a moment to talk plainly about safeguarding children, it's now. Our guest today is D.L. Mayfield (they/them). D.L. is an author, podcaster, and co-creator of The Strong-Willed Project, which documents harm done to children in evangelicalism and other high-control religious spaces, with particular attention to the legacy of James Dobson and the parenting framework his books popularized for decades. This episode was recorded on February 11, just days after reporting revealed that some abusers named in the Epstein files shared Dobson's parenting advice as part of controlling their victims. A content note: this episode includes discussion of corporal punishment and abuse. We do not describe sexual abuse in detail, but it is referenced. Please take care of yourself in whatever way you need. But if you have the privilege to listen, especially if you have not experienced abuse, please don't look away. Children cannot advocate for themselves in systems built to silence them. Protecting them is a moral responsibility. As James Baldwin writes: "The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.

    Letting Go of a Punitive God with Brian Recker

    Episode Four: Letting Go of a Punitive God with Brian Recker If fear is how we first met God, what does it take to unlearn that? In this episode of Blessed Uncertainty, we talk with writer and former evangelical pastor Brian Recker, author of Hellbent, about how beliefs about hell shape our inner lives, our parenting, our politics, and the world we are building together. This is a conversation about letting go of punishment as the foundation of faith and trusting in the God who restores. We explore hell as something we create here and now, the harm fear-based theology does to children, and why grace, not punishment, is what actually changes people. We first recorded this episode in October, when Brian's book was released. But with conservative evangelicalism doubling down on embracing a tyrannical and authoritarian regime more and more each day, this conversation feels even more urgent now than it did then. Guest: Brian Recker Author of Hellbent: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love Free study guide available at: https://brianrecker.com Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
