Start with the truth

In this episode we chat with Aric and Brandee Senters, members of the Joes Addiction community who worked with our parents and were under their leadership for 12 years. We talk about what it's like to value parts of your history and experience while also wrestling with the simultaneous harm and deception culty environments create.

Cult-shaped hole

In this episode we interview Michelle and Katy Beth Gilley, who were also raised in the cult and were missionary children with Heart of God/Beautiful Feet. We discuss how this upbringing shaped us as adults and how we've found our way forward since leaving the cult environment. Stick around to hear about Jael's adventures with aliens and bigfoot!

Release the files

In this episode we talk about grooming in the cult and the 6 stage process that allows groomers to gain access and control their victims. We talk about how our parents and others in leadership use these strategies to reel people in and exploit them - ultimately creating a culture full of all kinds of abuses.
