83. Sex, Marriage & Submission with Sheila Gregoire
Please support my work and the show by subscribing to patreon.com/montemaderThere's no better place to find terrible marriage advice than in the best selling evangelical books about sex and marriage. Books where a fathers sexual attraction to his daughter is usually innocent (Dobson) or that a wife is a "dose of methadone" for her husbands unbridled sexual appetite (Every Mans Battle). Can't imagine why women don't find that appealing.The best-selling Christian book that taught about sex did not once mention that sex was designed for women, too. Rather, it framed it as a male need, telling their female readers, “If your husband is typical, he has a need you don’t have.” WOMEN DON'T HAVE SEXUAL NEEDS?She was so rattled at what she read in this book that she set out with two other women (her daughter and psychology graduate Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach and epidemiologist and statistician Joanna Sawatsky) to conduct the largest study ever done on evangelical women’s marital and sexual satisfaction. Which led to her authoring "The Great Sex Rescue" The good... the bad... and what do we do about it? Marriage and Sex edition.

82. Name it and Claim It: The History of Prosperity Gospel
On October 20 in Conroe, Texas, a pastor laid hands on Ken Paxton and prayed that God would "give him favor with voters." Two days later a dozen Catholic bishops were filmed praying over Donald Trump in the Oval Office with Paula White-Cain standing behind the chair. Two weeks before that, Jim Bakker died. This episode traces the idea underneath all three: that success is God's verdict on a man.It starts with a clockmaker in Belfast, Maine, in 1838. Phineas Quimby decided disease was an error of belief, his patient Mary Baker Eddy turned that into Christian Science, and a fired editor named Emma Curtis Hopkins turned it into New Thought, ordaining twenty women in her first class in 1889 and training the founders of Unity, Divine Science, and Religious Science. Then the men moved in. Ralph Waldo Trine, Napoleon Hill (whose Carnegie meeting no archive can find), Bruce Barton's Jesus as "the founder of modern business," and Norman Vincent Peale, who married Donald and Ivana Trump in 1977 and whom Trump still calls his teacher.Alongside it, the gospel of wealth: Russell Conwell's "it is your duty to get rich," delivered 6,152 times. The frontier panic of Turner and Roosevelt, the Men and Religion Forward Movement of 1911, and Billy Sunday's war on "effeminate" Christianity, all arriving as women organized to vote. Fundamentalism, paid for by Union Oil's Lyman Stewart. And E. W. Kenyon, who learned mind-cure at a Boston elocution school and passed it, word for word, to Kenneth Hagin of McKinney, Texas, Paxton's hometown. From Hagin: Copeland, seed-faith, Osteen, Paula White, and a 2006 poll in which 61 percent of American Christians said God wants people to be rich.SourcesKate Bowler, Blessed (Oxford, 2013)Beryl Satter, Each Mind a Kingdom (University of California Press, 1999)Catherine Albanese, A Republic of Mind and Spirit (Yale, 2007)Gail Harley, Emma Curtis Hopkins: Forgotten Founder of New Thought (Syracuse, 2002)Donald Meyer, The Positive Thinkers (Doubleday, 1965)Richard Weiss, The American Myth of Success (Basic Books, 1969)Mitch Horowitz, One Simple Idea (Crown, 2014)D.
