About this listen

If you’ve lost your identity to belong to a Christian group, this book is for you.

Joining, staying, and leaving a Christian cult is a complex and confusing process. Most people do not understand that they have joined or been born into a cult or high-control Christian church because these churches offer a dependable, tight-knit community and a place to belong.

Because the need to belong is primal, we are susceptible to joining groups exploiting this need. The cost of belonging is conformity and obedience to their rules and beliefs at the expense of your emotional and spiritual health and your freedom in Christ.

This is spiritual abuse.

Join me as I walk away from my church, enter a wilderness period to process church trauma, and then emerge—running toward a life of joy and freedom.

Open these pages to recognize if you are in a Christian cult, identify trauma and triggers from being under systemic control, and understand the recovery process to find that a new life is waiting for you.
