My guest today is author Tia Levings, who describes herself as “an author exploring anti-fundamentalism after church-sanctioned domestic abuse in high-control religion.” Tia appeared in Shiny Happy People on Amazon Prime, and her memoir, A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy, is coming out with St. Martin’s Press in 2024.
In our conversation today, Tia and I discuss various aspects of Christian fundamentalism and how it negatively impacts women, especially.
