A Deep Dive on James Dobson's Mentor, eugenicist Paul Popenoe
On the one-year anniversary of James Dobson’s death* we’re discussing the nefarious history of his mentor, Paul Popenoe, whose teachings inspired Nazi eugenics. We also discuss Popenoe’s connections to the Southern Baptist Convention (big shocker!) and teaching pastoral counseling.
DL’s research could not have been possible without the work of Cynthia Oelfke Prentice. Check out her substack here!
This month we’re taking a break from Growing Up in the Fold, but Krispin is working on an episode about the religious terrorization of children (growing up with threats of hell, demons, Satan, end times, etc.).
*we recorded it on the anniversary of his death, which was a couple of weeks ago.
Leave a comment below or head over to the discord to discuss the episode.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
