  • Absolute Favorite Podcast

    Jubilee is such a talented interviewer, and always brings out the best stories in her guests with really thoughtful questions and observations. And she manages to bring a warm energy to the most complex discussions - so that there’s always a feeling of hope and understanding infused into even the hardest subjects. And she’s hilarious. Can’t wait to see how Healdish (and all of Jubilee’s work!) continues to evolve and grow-

  • Educational and Informative

    I work in a progressive mainline church (ELCA) and these types of podcasts are so helpful for understanding the lived experiences of people raised in a culture that is so against my religion, but yet claims to be part of it. I’ve learned so much and really appreciate the openness of Jubilee and her guests. Bravo. She is an excellent interviewer.

  • Eye-Opening Stories

    I’m someone who grew up with limited purity culture (just what the media portrayed) and zero religious experience, so these stories—including Jubilee’s—are truly eye-opening to the world I’ve never seen. I’ve learned about cults, speaking in tongues, and prophetic words, and all the horrors and trauma these guests have experienced. The education I’ve gained from people opening up has been a wild ride, and I’m only about halfway into the collection. Thank you so much, Jubilee, for sharing your st... more

  • I feel seen!

    This is my new fave podcast because it makes me feel so seen and understood. Unfortunately I know all too well the realities of trauma (both religious and otherwise) and weird culty churches. It’s not something you can casually talk about and it’s super awkward when you try. Having this space to hear people’s stories is meeting that need in my life right now. Jubilee—I hate that we have been through trauma but I’m so glad you’re choosing to be brave by sharing your story and platforming others t... more

  • Re: Rebecca’s Story

    Rapture trauma is so prevalent to so many of us. *sigh*

    Core memories unlocked! 1) Yes, I remember being told that what did or didn’t do in this life would amount to how much we would have ‘saved up’ in Heaven.

    2) Christy Miller series! We absolutely ate those up as tweens/teens. I think I still have my copies locked away in a box somewhere. They definitely set up for high and unrealistic expectations.

    3) AWANA… 😳

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

101. The Cult-Like World of MLMs (Brandie's Story)
Q: I was hoping before we go, if you could talk a little bit about the sunk cost fallacy, because I saw you post some videos on that.
Brandie explains that people may continue investing time, money and energy because they fear that stopping would make those investments wasted. MLMs intensify this by saying quitting is the only way to fail and that success may be just around the corner, while making it easy to blame setbacks on not having worked hard enough.
101. The Cult-Like World of MLMs (Brandie's Story)
Q: Can you talk a little bit more about some of the health claims that you were making and how you really thought that this might be saving people from getting cancer?
Brandie says distributors used company-funded studies and a leader's website listing illnesses to support claims about Juice Plus. She describes being encouraged to promote the product for health concerns and to increase her own use, while later finding research suggesting the product's antioxidant content was comparable to that of a small amount of apple.
98. Working Under a False Prophet: Shawn Bolz (Johnny's Story)
Q: Do you want to tell us a little bit about like your deconstruction journey and kind of where you've landed now, like what you believe?
Giovati describes his experience as both deconstruction and reconstruction. He says he became willing to revise beliefs as he encountered new information, and now emphasizes humility about what can be known, care for people, and creating a supportive community.
98. Working Under a False Prophet: Shawn Bolz (Johnny's Story)
Q: When did you first start to feel like maybe these weren't real?
Giovati says concern grew as Bolz changed the language around his prophetic claims, shifted his ministry toward dramatic words of knowledge, and former staff and others began raising allegations. He describes this as a slow accumulation of warning signs.
100. Ushering in the End Times at IHOP (Brittany’s Story)
Q: What made you finally decide to leave and just really start to deconstruct?
Brittany says health problems led her to take a break from IHOPKC, while the 2023 allegations against Mike Bickle and the leadership's response prompted her to question the organization and its teachings more deeply.
