This is a question I have asked myself often in life. But I have definitely struggled with the fear, anxiety, and shame of this question since I left the Christian cult I was involved in for 6 years. In the decade I have been out of that cult, I have gotten a lot of healing in this area. But, I would be lying if I said I don't still wrestle with the anxiety from this unbiblical belief at times.

I am honored to have my parents on the podcast! Neither one of them have ever told their side of the story publicly. But, they have decided to do so now in hopes to help another parent who feels helpless.
We hope that hearing their story and hearing the three of us sit together and chat will bring hope, encouragement, wisdom, and peace to loved ones who know someone involved in a cult or religious abuse.

My sister, Elaina, is back on the podcast! But this time, our conversation is very different from our last conversation.
Elaina shares her story about being the sibling of someone involved in a cult. She has never shared her story or perspective publicly and we believe that her story will provide wisdom and hope for other loved ones who know someone involved in a cultish environment.

Welcome to Season 3 of The Warriors Community Podcast! This year, we have decided to take a few important themes and turn them into monthly conversations. For the month of January, we are discussing family.

After 2 years of hosting The Enough Series on The Warriors Community, we have chosen to end the series.
This decision was not an easy one and took months of evaluation, feedback, prayers, and consideration. However, we have concluded that The Enough Series has served its purpose and have turned out attention and focus toward providing tools and resources as well as community for anyone who has experienced religious abuse.

Have someone ever quoted scripture to you that just didn't sit right or feel right? Or maybe someone used Jesus' name to abuse you? Or, someone quote scripture with the best of intentions that actually caused harm or confusion? I think everyone can yes to one of those questions.

I had a conversation with a good friend recently about leaving cults. She is also a cult survivor. She asked me a little bit about my story and how I made friends once I left the cult. And I realized, I have never discussed this before and it is really important topic!
So many people feel alone and may truly be alone after leaving religious abuse. So what do you do? How to do trust anyone again? How do you know what kind of friends...
Today's conversation was inspired by an article I read on Medium.com, from someone whom I have grown close to. She wrote an article about leaving a church and why. And many people responded! The article created a lot of conversation that led to me writing an article as well!
Through these conversations, the topic of how important it is to be different came up. Sadly, many cultish environments package mind control, brainwashing...
