In this episode, mental health professional Bethany Jantzi (Free From Control) joins us to expose a dark reality within high-control religious circles: the idea that a wife is a &quot;training ground&quot; for a man’s leadership. We discuss how the domestic sphere is often used as a laboratory for men to practice &quot;authority&quot; and &quot;dominion,&quot; effectively turning women’s lives into stepping stones for male ego and spiritual status. We explore the psychological toll of being a &quot;helpmate&quot; used for a man’s development, and how to break free from the cycle of religious grooming. &amp;nbsp; Faith and Feminism https://www.meghantschanz.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40220650/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/40220650
