We answer these questions and more in part one of our very telling look at how aggressively some children's and youth ministry leaders instill religious thinking in the minds of children literally from birth forward.

Episode 22: Toxic Masculinity - A Societal Epidemic

To be fair, toxic masculinity isn't an exclusively evangelical problem, but evangelical thought goes miles toward validating and perpetuating some of the worst manifestations of it. Spider and Shelle start out with a few more important comments about the current pandemic crisis, citing even more evangelical nonsense and how following the lead of certain evangelical leaders can promote the spread. The main topic is one that needs as much exposure and criticism as it can get. This is one of our longest episodes and we think we could have said even more.
