We Joined A Cult

Thursday Mar 13, 2025

Thursday Mar 13, 2025

In this episode we’re sharing our personal story of how we unknowingly got involved in a cult, what led us to realize the truth, and how we found our way out. We’ll break down the key signs of a cult—how to recognize manipulation, control, and false teaching—so you can protect yourself and your family. Then, we’ll contrast that with what a biblically healthy church looks like, grounded in truth, accountability, and grace. Listen in as we unpack our journey, share lessons learned, and encourage you to seek a Christ-centered, faithful community.
