STRONGWILLED

We're releasing last month's patreon-only episode on the main feed today. We talk about Yancey's book that came out in 2000 that validated doubts, disappointments and insecurities, while urging people to stick it out in Christianity, even if it didn't feel right. Krispin shares about how this book shaped his journey. Together, Krispin & DL reflect on it in the context of what we know from Yancey's memoir that released in 2021. We mention Yancey's interview with the I Was a Teenage Fundamentalist Podcast and their follow-up episode after the interview.We have a patreon-only episode up today about The Strong Willed Child by James Dobson.
