They are reclaiming their past for good and building an online community of survivors as well as educating anyone curious about cults, toxic religion, and exposing church abuse.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T16:19:55.150665+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ex-baptist-sisters-podcast-7783089"},"episode":{"title":"That I Might Not Sin Against God | Patriotism and Christian Nationalism","slug":"that-i-might-not-sin-against-god-patriotism-and-christian-nationalism","published_at":"2026-06-18T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ex-baptist-sisters-podcast-7783089/that-i-might-not-sin-against-god-patriotism-and-christian-nationalism","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ex-baptist-sisters-podcast-7783089","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/the-ex-baptist-sisters-podcast/2924096","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/379581/2924096/the-ex-baptist-sisters-podcast/2026_06_18_01_17_53_e6e869b4-24aa-40b1-be77-97a4aa4f58db.mp3","summary":"TPUSA Women's Summit Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSz1txJEyv8&t=75s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exbaptistsisters/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/18dNf8qxkH/?mibextid=wwXIfr This week, Vikki and Taniya revisit an episode they thought was lost and unpack Christian nationalism, patriotic culture in church, and the ways politics and religion became deeply intertwined in the world they grew up in. The episode explores how fear, certainty, and black-and-white thinking shaped their worldview—and what it has looked like to slowly question those beliefs, separate faith from politics, and become comfortable with uncertainty. Along the way, they discuss religious deconstruction, parenting, empathy, and the process of building values intentionally instead of simply inheriting them. Content Warning: strong language, corporal punishment, abuse, sexual assault, war and violence, racism, and dediscussion of biblical stories containing violence and sexual themes","meta_description":"TPUSA Women's Summit Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSz1txJEyv8&t=75s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exbaptistsisters/ Facebook: https://…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3112,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-ex-baptist-sisters-podcast-7783089/episodes/that-i-might-not-sin-against-god-patriotism-and-christian-nationalism/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ex-baptist-sisters-podcast-7783089/that-i-might-not-sin-against-god-patriotism-and-christian-nationalism.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
