(REMASTERED) TRUE CRIME: First Family of Fundamentalism - Ch. 3: Sins of the Father #ArrestDavidHyles (Pastoral Abuse / David Hyles / Jack Hyles / Church / Cult / Child Murder / FBCH / IFB )
•
In the third installment of our First Family of Fundamentalism series, Sadie and Gabriel discuss Jack Hyles' only son David Hyles, the heir apparent to the pastorship of First Baptist Church of Hammond, and how throughout the 1970s and 1980s he proved himself to be unsuited to leadership in any ministry, a liability to his father, an abuser, a rapist, a pedophile, and (allegedly) a murderer. #ArrestDavidHyles
WARNING: This episode contains discussions of rape, coercion, sexual abuse of minors, domestic violence, psychological abuse, child abuse, and child murder.
Note: In this episode, we said that the 5 chapters of Linda Hyles Murphrey's book are available online. Sadly, they are not in fact available online. Sincerest apologies.

Ep. 257: Riley Gaines Lied About Everything
01:26:32|In this episode, we discuss the recent expose on Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky swimmer who has become the face of the anti-trans women in sports political agenda. While Gaines is no doubt a talented swimmer, the story that she told of victimization at the hands of U Penn's Lia Thomas was largely fabricated. However, this story became a divisive issue that helped propel Donald Trump to a second presidential term.https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/11/riley-gaines-anti-trans-lia-thomas-ncaa-trump/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUl8lkuGOchttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQJoin our discord server! https://discord.gg/aneFkUJuJoin our subreddit!
