[Ep 2] "The Trauma Machine" - I Pray You Put This Journal Away Podcast

We react to Josh Duggar's bond hearing, continue reading journal entries, and break down how fundamentalism exploits the vulnerable in order to reserve power for a select few. Trigger warning: themes of trauma and sexual and physical abuse are discussed. "The Trauma Machine" (Episode 2) - "I Pray You Put This Journal Away": Growing up with the Duggars, fundamentalism, and undiagnosed autism. A husband and wife embark on a journey of catharsis and reflection as they read an old diary chronicling the struggles of an undiagnosed autistic teenager growing up with reality TV's Duggar family and fundamentalist Christianity. Through laughter and tears, they deconstruct the past in an entertaining and unvarnished examination of a unique upbringing. The book referenced about corporate America's influence on American Christianity is "One Nation Under God" by Kevin M. Kruse.
