In this episode, Emily connects with Monte Mader, a Nashville-based fitness professional, metal vocalist, turned speaker and educator. Raised in alt-right evangelicalism and theology, she now uses her unique perspective to challenge harmful doctrines and shed light on America’s fundamentalist movement and its impact in American history and policy. A lifelong gym enthusiast and advocate for personal development, Monte's work in fitness, music and teaching all has one goal- to dismantle harmful institutions and ideology and to challenge people to personal growth physically, spiritually and intellectually.

Emily and Monte discuss Monte's journey growing up in fundamentalism, grappling with familial abuse, tackling oppressive religious structures, and transitioning to activism. As well as the deconstruction process, the dangers of right-wing politics merging with religion, the historical context of systemic oppression, and the urgent need for organized action and mobilization against current threats to democracy, and so much more!
