Ken welcomes PhD Candidate, writer, and educator, Rebecca Rea Ross. Podcaster and author, Brad Onishi, made the introduction. "Ken - here is a perfect person to interview on your podcast," he said. He was right. Rebecca's passion is energizing her dissertation's focus. She combines her journey from ultra-conservative home school in eastern Washington State to Christian college to Masters Degree to a fully credentialled high school English teacher. With a keen interest in the way language is used to hold people in abusive, often toxic places, Rebecca is a captivating storyteller with a timely message. She openly shares her conservative evangelical family pedigree. It places her squarely in the center of biblical fundamentalism's heartland. Listen in to get the particulars. You will recognize the well-known names. Rebecca's is a story of transformation - from an immersion in a world dominated by the most ardent apologists for complementarianism to a liberation of spirit, claiming agency and more than egalitarianism, finding her true self. Don't miss this remarkable conversation. SHOW NOTES

First published in 1926, “The Blue Castle” is one of the few stories for adults by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, famed for her “Anne of Green Gables” novels. It is the story of Valancy Stirling, a lonely and deeply unhappy “old maid”, who has grown increasingly despondent living with her critical and controlling mother and extended family. Her only escapes are the novels of her favorite author and her fantasies of an imagined fairy-tale place she calls the “Blue Castle”.
