We’re kicking off Season 7 of the Fresh Start Family Show with a powerful, thought-provoking conversation! Wendy & Terry sit down with theologian, writer, and former evangelical pastor Brian Recker to explore how fear has been woven into the spiritual and parenting narratives of so many families—and what it looks like to begin breaking free.

Brian shares his personal journey from growing up in fundamentalism, to leading as a pastor, to courageously deconstructing fear-based theology and re-imagining faith through the lens of love. Together, we talk about how indoctrination in childhood shapes our view of God, authority, and even our parenting—and how we can begin to heal.

This is an honest, heartfelt, and deeply hopeful conversation. If you’ve ever wrestled with reconciling your faith and your parenting, or wondered how to raise kids without passing down fear, this episode will leave you inspired and reminded that you’re not alone.
