Costi’s Hammer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a much-needed hiatus, the podcast returns to address the profound theological and cultural fallout surrounding the Lindsay Clancy tragedy. When pastor Costi Hinn responded to this medical nightmare by reducing postpartum psychosis to a "rebellious heart" and attacking female empathy, he revealed the destructive reality of Maslow’s hammer in modern religious leadership. In this episode, we deconstruct the pastoral malpractice of treating severe clinical neurobiology as spiritual failure. We

Read excerpt
We see her everywhere on social media: the serene, perfectly curated “trad wife,” baking sourdough from scratch and tending to her home in uncomplaining submission. But what lies beneath the soft-focus filters and the cottagecore aesthetic? In this episode of The Faithful Citizen , we strip away the pastoral fantasy of extreme complementarianism to examine the suffocating reality of high-control patriarchal marriages.
