249. Escaping Fundamentalism with Tia Levings
Tia Levings was trapped in a high-control religion, experiencing church-sanctioned domestic abuse at the hands of her husband. Her only relief was the Trapdoor Society online message boards where she could discuss big ideas about education and human development.
Years later, she barely escaped with her and her kids\u2019 lives.
Tia joins us today for an emotional, deeply meaningful episode where we discuss our intertwined stories and her new memoir, \u201cA Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy.\u201d
