    EPISODE 3

    The Wicked Conceals Violence: Domestic Abuse in a Primitive Baptist Upbringing with Maddy Usry

    The title "Primitive Baptist" alone tells a story about the life today's guest once lived. The ideals, beliefs about women and children, and inclination to lean on violence as a form of control are almost too backward to deserve the title. In this episode, Maddy Usry shares her experience in this denomination, but more specifically about how it looked within her childhood home. Together, we also discuss the impact of domestic violence on women in extreme religious situations and how Maddy made the bold choice to make a new life for herself.
