A conversation with Marissa Franks Burt and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis about evangelical parenting, fear, power, and repair.

This conversation is personal for me. I knew many of the people behind the world Marissa Franks Burt and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis write about in "The Myth of Good Christian Parenting." I helped build some of that world. I also had to leave it.

We talk about spanking, obedience, Dobson, family values, authoritarian politics, and the children who grew up inside systems that called control love.

This is not about hating parents. It is about telling the truth.
