    StoryTime With Stu | Episode 10

    Okay, wow! 😱 First of all, this episode is *super* explicit! Additionally, the “sexy stuff" that Bob & “JoBeth” get into in these chapters will blow your mind!
    Never have we been both so incensed and simultaneously cracked up by the nitty-gritty details that they chose to share.
    From Bob telling the fellas how they should touch their wives to “JoBeth” telling the ladies once more just how to be uber subservient, this episode will have you in stitches, cause you to be morally outraged, oooooor maybe a little bit of both. 🤣 Enjoy, NYM Fam!

    StoryTime With Stu | Episode 9

    From rattlesnakes to the "plan of salvation", chapter 5 of Jack Schaap's "Dating With A Purpose" had it all!
    In this chapter, Mr. Schaap takes a closer look at what he feels teenagers and young adults should be looking for in a partner as well as what NOT to look for.
    This chapter really cracked us up so if you're looking for some laughs, we recommend it! 🤣

    (Part 2) If You Could Say *Anything* To Your IFB Parents...What Would It Be?

    (Part 2) If You Could Say *Anything* To Your IFB Parents...What Would It Be?

    Yes! It's been months and we're sorry for that but we could not be more excited to bring you an episode that has been months in the making and carries with it a message of healing and help.
    Stuart was inspired by a few of his friends to compile conversations that his peers would like to have with their parents but are held back by the legalism of the Independent Fundamental Baptist Movement.
    These conversations ranged from catching parents up on what's going on in their adult (and in many cases estranged) children's lives to expressing frustration for their parent's refusal to accept them for who they are and simply love them as their children.
    Stuart brought on his parents for this episode in order for them to help us all process the angst that we've encountered when trying to deal with our IFB parents. Max & Katy Hardy were steeped in the IFB and are fully aware (as parents) just how difficult it can be for the children of IFB parents when those children attempt to speak with their parents on any and all matters.
    Whether you're simply curious about the IFB or possibly looking for catharsis in the midst of a struggle with family for religious reasons, we hope that you enjoy and are helped by this episode.

    StoryTime With Stu | Episode 8

    Chapter 4 of Jack Schaap's "Dating With A Purpose" is entitled "Principles Of Dress" and it comes as no surprise to Stuart that the chapter is devoted almost *entirely* to calling out women for what they're wearing & how they are presenting themselves.
    As we covered this chapter in a very brief version of StoryTime With Stu, we re-discovered that Schapp had put forth impossible "standards" (they were his own, legalistic preferences really) for women.
    At one point he stated that dresses which are too lengthy are immodest as well as skirts that were too short.
    He also said that both "too much" (by his standards, which he could create "on the fly" for any given situation) makeup and not enough makeup would not be "up to par" for his standards.

    StoryTime With Stu | Episode 6

    The title of Chapter 3 in Jack Schaap's "Dating With A Purpose" is "Defraud Not One Another" and it really peels back the curtain on the legalism that prohibits adolescents & young adults from properly maturing in both a sexual and a romantic manner in their relationships (within the Independent Fundamental Baptist Movement).
    As Stuart reads along he is struck by quite a few thoughts that lead young people to develop "hangups" that can manifest themselves later in life as they seek to deconstruct their faith and date in the "real world".

Just keep talking...

You don’t know who is out there that just might need to see people talk through and eventually be able to laugh about all the bs they’ve gone through in so many similar ways; Why talk about these things now? Because there’s no time like the present, and courage to confront and face your fears takes time to develop. Keep it up.

Attended an IFB college

I attended an IFB college and can totally relate to most of your stories. Also Stuart’s laugh sounds exactly like my friends, which is a big reason why I listened to the podcast. My only recommendation would be to have an audio only podcast and a video podcast. I listen to NYMP a lot on the road and it is constantly buffering because of the video aspect of the podcast.

Your content is fabulous and hope to see justice served through the work that you are doing with victims of these despicable crimes.

Cathartic and Helpful

This is one of my staples, each week.

Stuart is doing amazing work in exposing the IFB cult for the harm it’s doing, but that’s not all the podcast is. It’s delightful, relatable, cathartic conversations and insightful observations about life.

Really helpful and a must-listen.
