Summary
In this special episode of Sons of Patriarchy, Peter Bell interviews Gwen Harris, the mother of Brooks Potteiger (recently appointed pastor of Christ Kirk D.C., where Pete Hegseth attends), a pastor influenced by Doug Wilson's teachings. Gwen shares her perspective on Brooks' transformation from a caring individual to someone who embodies patriarchal values, and the impact of these changes on their family dynamics. She discusses the troubling parenting styles she witnessed, the decision to report suspected abuse to Child Protective Services, and the challenges of navigating a divided family. Throughout the conversation, Gwen emphasizes the importance of prayer, truth, and the hope for redemption for her son and others caught in similar situations.
