In Part 2 of this interview, Alex delves into physical abuse for refusing to say he was a Christian. He also discusses multiple instances of sexual misconduct, and he shares a very personal story that will quite possibly bring you to tears.

This was a very heartbreaking episode and while interviewing, I personally had trouble maintaining my emotional composure.

This is the first of a series of interview segments in what turned out to be the longest podcast we've done to date. It's a roller coaster of emotions, violence, sexual abuse, and more.  There will be more episodes to come until this entire interview is concluded.

Kelly Green worked at one of Ted Suhl's numerous Arkansas outpatient facilities as a clinician. She volunteered to share her time with us and told us about multiple ethically questionable business tactics utilized by Ted Suhl. They had marketers planted at schools and courthouses who were incentivized to bring kids into The Lord's Ranch and/or Arkansas Counseling Associates. (This was the name of their outpatient treatmen...

On February 13, 1995, Robert Westerhoff and Christopher Chandler escaped The Lord’s Ranch in a staff vehicle after a staff member left their keys out. Robert was known for being an escape artist from facilities and he took advantage of the keys being left behind.  After driving 100 miles, he fell asleep at the wheel and drove off into a large ravine. Robert died in that accident and Chris was airlifted to a hospital with a ruptured...

Kyle Jensen alleges a staff member punched him in the face over and over again when he was only ten years old. The staff failed to remember that Kyle was scheduled to see his parents the next day. Once Jason remembered, it was too late. The immense damage was done--Black eyes, busted lips, etc. Kyle Jensen only stayed at The Lord's Ranch for a month because a staff member named Jason thought he could get away with beating a te...

Salem had nowhere to go. Due to problems at home, he would be bounced from facility to facility and was essentially taken care of by the state. Of the locations, he had to stay, without hesitation,  Salem says The Lord's Ranch was the worst of them all. In his own words, his stay at The Lord's Ranch "fucked him up."

Pasha Bell was a victim of sexual assault at the young age of 12. Because of this, she acted out and was sent to The Lord's Ranch for treatment.

Allegedly, during her weekly phone call with her family, she began asking to come back home. As a result, Pasha said a staff member disconnected her phone call without warning. Pasha said she cried as a result and when she got back to her Ranch bedroom, she was stripped down...

Kevin Maxwell had years of experience helping people with mental health and substance abuse problems. Considering The Lord's  Ranch routinely hired people with absolutely zero experience, it seemed like he would be a shoo-in for the job they were hiring for.  Is it possible that he knew too much and represented a threat to the illegal company culture?

Brad Wallace tells us his story about being at The Lord's Ranch. From staff allowing residents to assault him, to a violent male staff member sexually assaulting him, this was a difficult time in his life. His courage to come forward with his story is admirable and takes tremendous courage.

We're all proud of him for overcoming what was a horrendous experience in his life. Brad Wallace is letting other male vict...

In this episode, we speak to Jane Robertson about her experience as a church member at Living Water Worship Center--a cult-like church in Arkansas with multiple connections to The Lord's Ranch.

I won't give away many details, but I will say this....The reaction to the seizure freaked me out the most. Some people are so hindered by delusion that it can be fatal.

I'll never understand this thought p...

When a child was stuck at The Lord's Ranch while her Mom was terminally ill with cancer, Nurse Jessica Sheets gave her a brilliant loophole that had the young girl back at home within days.  But the amazingly kind gesture didn't come without its consequences. I think every facility needs a nurse like Jessica Sheets.

In this episode, Jayme shares her experience with Medicaid fraud while working in the office and what she believes were three large staff members beating up a smaller kid in a shed. A long-time office employee told her that all phone calls were recorded (similar to how kids were told the classrooms were bugged when they were interviewed by people in suits in 2006.) She also talks about how often she saw planes land at the ranch aft...

Roderick is the first staff member who is willing to come on the show while stating that he feels The Lord's Ranch was a good place. I found this quite admirable.

For those who listen to this podcast,  I want you to remember that we're all humans and we all make mistakes; and most importantly we all have our low points in life.

I enjoyed talking to Roderick and I hope you enjoy listening to our convers...
