How to Resist Toxic Teachings & Hypocrisy as a Family of Faith with Tim Whitaker

Fresh Start Family Show

In this compelling episode, we sit down with Tim Whitaker, founder of The New Evangelicals, to dig deep into navigating faith, resisting toxic teachings, and advocating for marginalized communities within the Christian church. Tim shares his personal journey from growing up in a conservative evangelical household to becoming a leader in the movement for a more compassionate, inclusive faith. Together, we explore how to maintain integrity and authenticity in a faith that can often feel contradictory, especially within the landscape of modern evangelicalism.

From the polarizing effect of politics within the church to the urgent need for social justice and LGBTQ inclusion, Tim’s story and insights are timely and powerful. This episode isn’t just a conversation—it's an invitation to reflect on your own faith journey, question toxic teachings, and advocate for a more loving, inclusive community. Wendy and Terry offer their own personal reflections, making this episode a rich resource for families seeking to align their parenting and faith with compassion, integrity, and justice.

If you’ve ever found yourself wrestling with questions of faith or striving to create a more inclusive, just world for your children, this episode is for you.
