DL and Krispin Mayfield host conversations about the personal and political impacts of Religious Authoritarian Parenting.

  1. JUN 13 · BONUS

    A daughter of Focus on the Family speaks out

    For this bonus episode, D.L. Mayfield interviewed Amber Cantorna-Wylde, author of Out of Focus, My Story of Sexuality, Shame, and Toxic Evangelicalism. DL talked with her about her experience growing up as the daughter of the man in charge of Adventures in Odyssey. Amber’s story is heartbreaking, inspiring, and also a powerful indictment against the people that often told us that “family is everything.” Today Amber is a powerful advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, focusing on people who grew up in high control religious environments. Make sure to check out her book Out of Focus: My Story of Shame, Sexuality, and Toxic Evangelicalism. She also hosts the Unashamed Love Collective. You can read the transcript and further details for this episode here. DL and Amber talk about a series her father helped produce called "The Ties that Bind," and you can listen to the season of this podcast where we discussed it episode by episode. You can check out a written version of this interview on our STRONGWILLED substack. Our STRONGWILLED season will drop next month!
