What is it like to spend your entire upbringing on reality TV? What are the dangers of a fundamentalist Christian theology? How can we expose false characterizations of God promoted by preachers who want to instill fear in their flocks as a means of control? In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Jinger Duggar Vuolo @JingerandJeremy former star of “19 Kids and Counting.” We discuss the blessings and struggles of her upbringing on TV, how her experience impacts her parenting decisions with her own children, how she and her family are faring after a painful revelation that led to the cancellation of the show, how to shed fear and embrace love as described in her bestselling book, “Becoming Free Indeed,” and much more.
