Summary

On part one of a two-part episode series, Cate & Ty sit down with Monte Mader (@montemader), who has dedicated her platform to tackling the complexities of Christian nationalism and deconstruction.

Monte shares her difficult upbringing in a far alt-right, Christian nationalist family, where her home life was a hybrid of religion meets politics. She recounts the strict, often abusive, regimen of independent study, how her father prepared her to be the next Amy Coney Barrett, and the deconstructing she did in her early 20s. Monte also breaks down Fundamentalism, the Tradwife Movement, and the political hijacking of Christianity.
