The Fundie Diaries

Society EN ↓ 5 episodes

An ex-fundie podcast. I'm Christine and I was raised Christian fundamentalist, Christian nationalist, and was homeschooled. After years of deconstruction, now I'm breaking down fundie Christian culture to help those on the outside understand, and those on the inside make sense of their childhoods.
