Episode 125 - Cults: Part Five

Is your church just a church… or something more? 👀 In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph continue their deep dive into cults—how they operate, why people assume all churches are cults, and the warning signs that even well-meaning pastors can slip into cult-like behavior. 🔥 Questions we’re tackling: 🔹 Are Christian cults more of a problem today than in the past? 🔹 Has Pastor Joseph ever done something cult-like? (Be honest, Pastor.) 🔹 What makes people think all churches are cults? 🔹 What would Pastor Joseph say to someone in a cult—or someone who left the church because of cult-like behavior? If you’ve ever side-eyed a megachurch, questioned spiritual authority, or just want to know where the line is between faithful leadership and straight-up manipulation, this one’s for you. Expect bold conversations, sarcastic banter, and maybe even some self-reflection. 🔔 Don’t forget to: 👍 Like the episode if you’re into it 📤 Share with a friend who needs to hear this 🔊 Follow us wherever you get your podcasts—Spotify, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud & more 📌 Prefer to watch?
