S02E26 - God Told Me to Marry You (2025 hiatus repeat)

One of the reasons we created the pod was to tell our own stories. In this episode from Season 2, we remember dating and marriage within Christian fundamentalism, how it was rarely egalitarian, over-spiritualised, and that it was usually monitored or even controlled by pastors and leaders. Warning: This episode touches on issues concerning rape and domestic violence. If you are in Australia and require support, please reach out to Rape and Domestic Violence Services or Lifeline on 13 11 14. As part of our 2025 Down Under Summer Series, we're replaying out best episodes. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
