The Making of a Minister’s Son: Chosen or Conditioned?

Send us a text

In this second part of my interview with Lane Kamp, we step deeper into the structure of the cult — and what it was like to grow up at the center of it. Lane shares what it meant to be raised by Trina and Steven Kamp, how spiritual authority was claimed, and how belief systems were shaped, expanded, and enforced over time.

We explore how members were chosen, how teachings shifted, and what life looked like for those being groomed to lead. From adoption to arranged relationships, we uncover the blend of spirituality, control, and manipulation that defined the inner circle.

This episode reveals not just how people were drawn in — but how they were kept in, often from childhood.
