Listen "Ep. 267: Authoritative vs. Nurturant "
Episode Synopsis
What drives some people to embrace high handed leaders and Christian Nationalism while other people don't? This is the question explored in this episode where Dr. Oord shares an excerpt from the book he co-authored with Tripp Fuller entitled God After Deconstruction. In a chapter on Christian Nationalism Oord and Fuller engage with the work of Dr. John Sanders who, in his book Embracing Prodigals, distinguishes between three cognitive models social scientists identify as reasons for different parenting styles, political allegiances and views of God--authoritative, nurturant and permissive.To explore these important ideas further, pick up a copy of God After Deconstruction and Embracing Prodigals.
