Questioning Everything: Church changes, indoctrination, and critical thinking as homemakers

#homemaking #christianhomemaking #podcastforhomemakers We are back and better than ever! Jk, you be the judge. But today we wanted to start out a new season with a chat about some tough topics we've been wrestling with. How to filter what we hear on social media or even behind the pulpit at church. Characteristics of a cult and if Mennonites are one. How to spot cult-like tendancies and what to do about it. Plus, why indoctrinating your kids is more common than you think. Of course we include plenty of lighthearted moments like what we've been up to and we aren't necessarily pumped about next weekend. Wee're so glad you're here! Let's dive right in to Season 11!
