I have loved and told so many people about this podcast because it felt powerful and raw and needed. Until ep 62 with Taylor. It’s ok that the hosts and some guests are not Christian. It is ok for their belief to be a belief in nothing. However to dog others and talk about how you can’t be Christian and believe in the Bible. They talk about how they are smarter than others because they use critical thinking to disprove beliefs and others don’t. I don’t care if you believe in God, Jesus, Buddha o... more
The early episodes of this aren’t that great. It’s just 2 people talking about specific situations that happened in their lives as part of a cult, which would be cool, but it’s more like they’re talking to other people who left the same cult, and not a general audience. They talk about people and specific situations that make it seem like it’s just cult gossip. Meh.
The amount of times I have said this comment out loud in the 43 episodes I have listened to…several EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!!! Every play of the beginning recordings of “the marriage chamber” starts it off. The show is really amazingly well done, not salacious, but compassionate and with empathy, and sprinkled in laughter throughout! Love it and love these classy people who are brave enough to share their past, present, and hopefully the future.
I grew up southern Baptist, which, while conservative and patriarchal, wasn’t overly culty. However, my childhood home was run by a stepfather who was narcissistic, abusive, and controlling. So Ive been able to identify with many of your experiences. Like you, am no longer ruled by a narcissist or by religion. Thank you for adding clarity and levity to an otherwise hopeless situation.
This may sound strange but I like to use podcasts to help me sleep at night. “Boring” podcasts keep me awake because my mind wanders. This podcast helps me cope with my anxieties through calm and comforting conversation as I doze off. I don’t want this review to make it sound like it isn’t a good podcast because I sleep through it, to the contrary, the better the podcast the better the sleep quality and I always wake up rested and less anxious when I sleep to y’all. Thank you.
