Join Janice (@godhasnotiven), Melanie (@climbholamel) and Leslie (@leslie_delman) as they dive into chapters 19 -21 of ‘Redeeming Love’. This episode captures the ongoing drama of Michael and Angel's tumultuous relationship, the arrival of the sickeningly wholesome Altman family, and the deep-rooted issues stemming from Angel's dark past. The hosts hilariously scrutinize the depiction of Angel, Michael's misguided saintliness, and Francine's problematic portrayal of female sexuality. They also discuss personal stories about evolving perspectives on relationships, body autonomy, and raising kids in today's world. Tune in for a blend of humor, critique, and genuine moments of reflection.00:00 Introduction: Contrasting Lives00:12 Recap of Previous Events00:17 Michael and Angel's Journey00:42 Angel's Revelation and Miriam's Reaction00:51 Angel's Internal Struggles01:30 Welcome to Bad Words01:36 Hosts' Banter and Bird Talk03:18 Discussion on Flamingos04:35 Reflecting on 'Redeeming Love'05:22 Leslie's Introduction and Bird Metaphor06:34 Leslie's Experience with 'Redeeming Love'15:55 Angel's Emotional Journey16:57 Summary of Chapters 19-2126:48 Critique of 'Redeeming Love'33:58 God's Intervention and Story Pacing34:26 Character Dynamics and Plot Twists34:55 Family Drama and Tragic Backstories36:08 Exploring Themes of Guilt and Redemption40:06 Disturbing Revelations and Author Critique49:42 Purity Culture and Its Impact on Women01:02:56 Parenting and Teaching Body Autonomy01:14:52 Balancing Safety and Freedom in Parenting01:15:51 Healing Trauma and Raising Kids01:16:46 Personal Growth and Marriage01:18:15 Influence of Parents and Boundaries01:19:04 Acceptance and Family Dynamics01:21:13 Evangelicalism and Personal Beliefs01:34:45 Book Recommendations and Final Thoughts
