The Myth of the Good Christian Parent (Part 1): Growing Up Under the Weight

If you grew up in church culture, you probably know the pressure to pray right, act right, be “good,” and somehow make your family look like a picture of holiness. In this first part of my conversation with author and podcaster Marissa Franks Burt, we talk about what it felt like to grow up in that world, the invisible scripts it wrote for us, and how those patterns follow us into adulthood.This isn’t about blaming parents. It’s about understanding the systems that shaped us and finally putting language to what so many of us have carried in silence.Instagram: @mburtwrites  |  @kelseykmcginnisThreads: @mburtwrites  |  @kelseykmcginnisFacebook: @mburtwrites  |  @kelsey.kramermcginnisBluesky: @mburtwrites  |  @kkramermcginnisTikTok: @mburtwrites  |  @kelseykmcgSubstack: @mburtwrites | @kelseykramermcginnisYouTube: @mburtwrites Website: Marissa | Pre-order bonus linkFind the book on AmazonOrder from Baker for guaranteed release day deliveryBookshop book link
