S4:E4- BITE Model and the Christian Patriarchy Movement with Cait West

Yes, it’s an episode about abuse, and the cultish upbringing of the stay-at-home-daughter movement (aka Christian Patriarchy Movement), but you might find yourself laughing along with us at the absurdities of things we once believed. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in.

In this episode we discuss how God and the Bible were used to control:

  • Our Behavior

  • The Information we received from the outside world

  • What Thoughts were good and what Thoughts were bad

  • As well as what Emotions we could and could not have

Steve Hassan’s BITE model.

Cait West is a writer and editor in Grand Rapids, Michigan with publications in the Reveler, Religion Dispatches, Fourth Genre, and Hawaii Pacific Review among others. She serves on the editorial Board of Tears of Eden and her forthcoming memoir on escaping the Christian Patriarchy movement will be published in 2024.
