United Kingdoma year ago - Great and very interesting story
I found this season and story to be exciting, well-researched, and well-done. It was so fascinating that I binge-listened to it over only a couple of days.
As an aside, I can't help but wonder if the negative reviews that have been left for this podcast were from ex or current Jesus Army members or someone affiliated with them.
It's definitely worth a listen.
