The New F Word- Ep. 2: The C, N, F and E Words with Katherine Spearing

"The New F Word" is a sort of hybrid between "TSFU Presents" and "Binge or Bust?", where Ash and co-host Fallon Morey watch and discuss the Amazon Prime docuseries, "Shiny Happy People", about the Duggar family, their TLC show "16, 17, etc. Kids and Counting", the charismatic leader that they follow, Bill Gothard (a Fundamentalist Christian, aka "Fundie", minster), Christian Fundamentalism and so much more. They also identify sub topics in the doc to look deeper into such as the abuse of women and children in the IBLP (The Institute of Basic Life Principals, run by Bill Gothard), the modern day "freak show" that the TLC network is and the homeschooled Joshua Generation that's being indoctrinated to take over the world. But first...

Ash and Fallon talk with Katherine Spearing, host of Uncertain Podcast and founder of Tears of Eden, a non-profit organization which helps survivors of spiritual abuse. Katherine explains the differences between Christian Nationalism, Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism before we dive into this complicated season.
