ABOUT THIS EPISODE

I sat down with Cheryl Bawtinheimer, Richard Marsh, and Lane Admiral of the Get a Life podcast, three former members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, for a wide-ranging conversation about cults, coercive control, and the psychology that keeps people trapped. We talked about my own path into cult investigations, why transparency matters more than ideology in these cases, and what it takes for survivors to be heard. Cheryl and her colleagues are doing brave work giving survivors a voice, and I am grateful they had me on. Please share your thoughts in the comments and keep them constructive and respectful.
