Today's episode is the story of a woman who survived and escaped the Christian Patriarchy movement and created a new life of agency, advocacy, and unconditional love.
Cait West is a writer and editor based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her work has been published in The Revealer, Religion Dispatches, Fourth Genre and Hawai`i Pacific Review, among others. As an advocate and a survivor of the Christian patriarchy movement, she serves on the editorial board for Tears of Eden, a nonprofit providing resources for survivors of spiritual abuse, and co-hosts the Survivors Discuss podcast.
In this episode, you'll hear Cait and I discuss:
- Detangling the perfectionism that patriarchy rewards
- Repairing the line between us and our anger
- Growing up within the Christian Patriarchy Movement — and un-forming its work in us
- Reconnecting ourselves with our agency—and building support systems that can help that thrive
- and more!
Cait's story and perspective are compelling and compassionately told!
