Summary

Carl and Todd can truly say that they have “arrived” when they have the privilege to chat with former Cosmopolitan magazine writer Sue Ellen Browder! Our guest played an important role in the feminist movement and “sexual revolution” of the 1970s, 80s, and beyond. Sue’s story is compelling as she tells us about her “double life” as a happily married woman raising children, tending her garden, and baking fresh bread while writing made-up stories on feminism and sexual liberation. Can a media outlet have a manual on how to write fake news to accomplish the desired outcome? You’ll hear about some of those stories today. Browder explains the radically distinctive movements that were at play in the 1960s and early 70s—the “Sexual Revolution” and the “Women’s Movement” that later united to achieve a common goal—and you can probably guess just what their purpose was! Hear how Sue realized what she was doing, turned from that path to make things right, and now offers sage advice for parents and young people in today’s society.

1:06.0	colleague, co-laborer, Todd Pruitt, who is pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Harrisonburg, Virginia,
1:13.2	which is a congregation in the PCA, the Presbyterian Church in America. Good to see you again,
1:18.9	Todd. Good to see you, Carl. Things going well. Well, things are going well. I still have a job.
1:26.4	As long as I can say that, you know, could be a

1:38.6	She is. She's one of the true saints that I've met. There's there's no doubt about it behind every great man. There's
1:45.4	a great woman, something like that, right? And even behind relatively mediocre men like us,
1:50.5	I think that might be true as well. Had it not been for my wife, I would have been a dismal failure.

2:03.8	today. This is somebody who has been controversial, who has hit the headlines a few years ago
