Ep. 209 Tia Levings - Breaking Free from Patriarchal Control

Shifting Culture

In this episode, Tia Levings provides a powerful and insightful look into the realities of Christian fundamentalism and patriarchy, and the devastating impact it can have on individuals and families. She shares her personal story of growing up in a high-control religious environment and her eventual escape from an abusive marriage. Her experiences shed light on the dangers of rigid ideologies that value ideas over people, and the critical need for compassion, discernment, and support for those trapped in such systems. Tia shares important lessons for recognizing and addressing the rise of extremism in our culture, and the importance of fostering an expansive, loving, and life-giving faith.
