This week, Vikki and Taniya dive deep into one of their most highly requested and heaviest topics yet: the deeply normalized culture of corporal punishment and the deliberate breaking of a child's spirit within the independent fundamental Baptist movement.
From the authoritarian teachings of James Dobson and Michael and Debbie Pearl to the rantings of Jack Hyles they unpack how normal, healthy childhood curiosity was twisted into a spiritual crisis. With a blend of raw personal memories and dark humor, the sisters call out the psychological and emotional grooming behind delayed discipline, validation for survivors breaking the cycle, and a reminder that you were always worthy of unconditional love.
Trigger Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of childhood physical, spiritual, and emotional abuse.
