Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

Wife School is back in session, and today's class honors one year since Charlie Kirk's death. Today's guest is Alisa Childers — author, Christian apologist, former member of ZOEgirl, and host of The Alisa Childers Podcast. We're going somewhere uncomfortable: the line between biblical discernment and conspiracy obsession. When does asking hard questions turn into a search for secret knowledge the Bible explicitly warns against — and what happens when the content we consume starts changing our peace, our marriages, and even our faith? Alisa has publicly pushed back on Candace Owens' investigation into Charlie's death, and she doesn't hold back. Thank you to our sponsors!

Wife School continues — and today's professor is about to become my sister-in-law. 👯‍♀️ Katie Voetberg married a Voetberg son before I did, so she's graciously agreed to give me a little training before I officially join the family. She and her husband, Elisha, live in a barn in North Idaho with their six children, host the Now That We're a Family podcast, help run Voetberg Music Academy, and just celebrated ten years of marriage. This episode gets extremely practical: how to create peace in your home, stop micromanaging your husband, stay on top of the never-ending laundry, run a household smoothly, host a giant dinner, and figure out what actually matters when you're building a family.

Welcome to episode one of Wife School, a five-part series on everything no one tells you before you say "I do." Today's professor is Tilly Dillehay — author, pastor's wife, homeschooling mom of four, and one of the most requested guests in Culture Apothecary history after her last episode exploded. This one is almost entirely driven by your questions: how to stop comparing your husband to other men, what submission actually looks like day to day, sexless marriages, difficult in-laws, rebuilding trust after betrayal, and what to do when you wake up feeling more like roommates than lovers.

THIRTEEN psychiatric drugs in four months — that's what Lindsay Clancy was reportedly prescribed before she killed her three children. 💊 She wasn't taking all thirteen at once, but clinicians kept starting, stopping, and switching powerful psychiatric medications on a new mother in crisis. Today's guest is Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist, outspoken critic of the modern mental health system, and host of the “Radically Genuine” Podcast. We ask the uncomfortable question almost nobody wants to touch: what if the system that was supposed to help Lindsay was the thing making her worse? 🩺 Thank you to our sponsors!

He helped sell America's biggest cereal brands, then had a daughter and couldn't bring himself to feed her any of it.

Homeschooling should be a pre-marriage conversation and almost nobody treats it like one.

We talk about what to do when your spouse isn't on board, why the non-homeschooling parent matters more than most families realize, and why so many teachers are walking away from the system.
