  • 37. Holy Disruptor: Amy Duggar vs. The Duggar Legacy
    This week on Flipping Tables, Monte sits down with Amy Duggar—the outspoken cousin who dared to step outside the Duggar machine and call it what it is. Known to millions from 19 Kids and Counting, Amy has spent years reclaiming her voice and redefining her faith after growing up in the shadow of one of America’s most controlling religious families.In this raw and unapologetic conversation, Amy opens up about her upcoming book, Holy Disruptor, and the cost of breaking the silence. From toxic purity culture to spiritual manipulation, family loyalty, and the aftermath of scandal, she exposes the systems that weaponized religion—and shares how she found redemption in honesty, not obedience.This isn’t just a story about the Duggars. It’s about the courage to burn down false altars and build something truer from the ashes.Check out her book "Holy Disruptor" out now

  • 36. John Brown's Holy War
    I've been guilty in the past of talking about historical figures doing really awful things and making comments like "they were a reflection of their time" meanwhile, other men and women of their time- knew it was wrong and fought against it. A great example of this is John Brown. John was a devout Christian, and a staunch abolitionist. In fact, he was an abolitionist who so firmly believed that slavery was a violent sin against humanity that he was willing to use any means necessary to end it. Even now, we live in an era where white washers of history want to act, and teach kids that slavery "wasn't that bad". That human trafficking, rape, kidnapping, beating, torture, forced labor, medical experimentation on an entire community because of their skin tone "wasn't that bad".He famously said, "The crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood". And he was right. How much do we believe in the things we say we do? Are we willing to let it cost us? Are we brave enough to stand for human rights no matter what? I hope I am. John's story inspires me and calls me to account. How dare I be afraid or tempted to cower when others have sacrificed so much. Excited to share this story with you !

  • 35. Faction to Faith with Caroline Stout
    I know things over the last two weeks have been extremely heavy. I found myself more fatigued than I ever remember being. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, getting doxxed and looking at the world burn it really brings up the question "Is there hope left?" Is there room to bridge the ever widening gap happening across America? Caroline Stout, like me, was part of that faction once, including working at Turning Point USA. Today we discuss our journey's about how we left, because here's the thing- if two people that were as entrenched as we were can leave- anyone can leave. As we watch Christian Nationalism spin into a frenzy and we watch the America we thought we had fall into rubble...People will wake up People can wake upPeople will leaveI hope this conversation gives you hope. Hope for change, hope for the future, hope for a better tomorrow. Because we can change. And at the end of the day we are being pushed into a rhetoric of right vs. left, christian vs. heathen, good vs. evil when that is NOT the battle. The battle is and always will be top vs. bottom. The people pitting us against each other are picking our pockets, lining their mansions with money they don't need and could never spend. My neighbor is not my enemy

  • 33. The Separation of Church and State- w/ Dr. Randall Balmer
    I am SO SORRY. In the wake of traveling and working in DC I completely forgot to post last weeks episode. I'm a human and I apologize sincerely. It means a lot to me to stay on top of this work and education the best I can. That said, YOU GET TWO EPISODES THIS WEEKThe first is the most comprehensive conversation I've had to date. Dr. Randall Balmer is a prize winning historian and Emmy Award nominee and holds the John Phillips Chair in religion at Dartmouth which is the oldest endowed professorship at the school. He is an expert in Religion in North America and Evangelicalism in America and his recent book "America's Best Idea: The Separation of Church & Hate" is the best top to bottom explanation on why 1. Separation is so important and 2. NO we are not a "Christian Nation" but one founded on religious liberty. For early and ad free releases please subscribe at patreon.com/montemader
