2025-07-09 13:53:01 +0000 UTCI was waiting for someone to mention Passport to Purity, a terrible sex Ed curriculum which was also produced/distributed by Focus on the Family

2025-01-19 06:45:50 +0000 UTCTook your advice and listened to the David Griffin interview on Growing Up Christian, knowing his mental health challenges and what a sanctuary the cast and crew of AIO was for him, makes this horrendous puberty episode bitter sweet. I admire that guy so much.

2022-11-10 21:53:18 +0000 UTCI called the ad break joke as soon as you said the name, and then still laughed because it's so perfectly stupid. And the talk about slurping made me think of the 7-11 Dance the Slurp promo record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRVeiJwupo4

2022-11-10 18:08:55 +0000 UTCYou three guys seem to have a good grasp of child psychology and an empathy towards young people. Have you all thought about adopting a baby together?

2022-11-10 13:41:48 +0000 UTCBut seriously, thank you for having these conversations. It's really fucked up how much evangelicals sexualize their children.

2022-11-10 03:09:04 +0000 UTCI love how I have the most vivid memories for the audio beats of the worst episodes of this show. Listening to Dale and Melanie open the episode snapped me back to this episode in the same way Eugene describing Hell does for The Mortal Coil. The Cosby Show also did an episode on modesty with more or less the same message. Good thing Cosby isn't a predator or anything
