Ep. 80 - A Midwestern Furlough: Life Amongst the White People w/ Missionary Kid Ian

from Growing Up Christian · host Casey Greseth

This week, we’re joined by missionary kid and lifelong Hong Kong resident, Ian! Ian’s family moved to Hong Kong when he was only two years old, and he’s spent most of his life there. Many of us that grew up in the church remember missionary families visiting periodically to raise support. Ian has lived on the other side of that equation, and he shares some hilarious stories about visiting small town America as a kid! But first, we’re excited to welcome back creator and Casey’s wife April Gloria, who joins us to discuss another amazing example of purity culture literature, “Marriable: Taking the Desperate Out of Dating” by Hayley and Michael DiMarco! As you might expect, it’s filled with great advice, like “don’t marry your best friend unless you’re gay,” and “nice guys really do finish last.” Bring a notepad, because you’re going to need it! Follow April Gloria on Instagram and Twitter @_aprilgloria, and if you’re not in our Discord server, yet, you can find a link on our Instagram page!
