    Dr. Todd Phillips spent decades preaching Christianity, leading megachurch congregations, and studying theology at the highest levels—until the very questions he hoped would strengthen his faith led him to stop believing. In this deeply personal conversation, Todd shares his journey from devoted Pastor to agnostic, the devastating emotional toll of losing everything he believed about God and heaven, and how he's rebuilding a life of purpose beyond religion.

    Esperanza was a successful young woman working at an NBC-affiliated television station when she was introduced to the World Mission Society Church of God through a man she met online. Searching for faith, family, and belonging, she quickly became devoted to a religious organization that taught the world was coming to an end. Within months, Esperanza had walked away from her career, devoted nearly every waking hour to the church, and been encouraged to surrender her entire paycheck.

    Things took an even darker turn when church leaders arranged her marriage to an abusive man she barely knew. Esperanza shares disturbing allegations of surveillance, reproductive control, and manipulation and abuse within her marriage, along with the extraordinary journey that eventually led her to question everything she believed.

    Born and raised inside New Zealand's isolated Gloriavale religious community, Ginny was taught that a woman's purpose was to obey, marry, and have as many children as possible. After entering an arranged marriage at 20, she spent approximately 22 years pregnant or breastfeeding while enduring relentless work demands, strict expectations, and limited reproductive freedom. But when her teenage daughter became the target of horrific mistreatment, Ginny and her husband faced an impossible choice: remain loyal to the only world they'd ever known or risk everything to protect their family. Now a mother of 11, she shares how they escaped with 10 children, the painful realities of starting over, and her ongoing fight for accountability.

From doing payroll at eight years old to living surrounded by guns, violence, paranoia, and fear, Sonny shares how the unthinkable became normal, and what it took to finally reclaim his autonomy and begin building a life of his own.

He’ll unpack the specific rules he felt compelled to follow, how leaving a high-control religion dramatically changed his experience with OCD, and how he learned to replace rigid, black-and-white thinking with nuance, self-trust, and a much freer way of living.

    Athena Grimes grew up in mainstream Mormonism under a mother who, Athena says, used “personal revelation” to justify extreme control, isolation, punishment, and abuse—including telling nine-year-old Athena that God required an “Abraham experience” in which she would die, leading Athena to plan her own funeral and say goodbye to her family. Years later, after joining the military, getting married, entering therapy, and eventually leaving Mormonism, Athena began recognizing the religious framework that had been used to control her, and ultimately made the decision to cut contact with her parents and reclaim her life.

Alissa Watson of  @alissasawake  joins us LIVE to break down what changed, what Jehovah’s Witnesses were taught before, and the difficult questions this raises about “new light,” organizational authority, and the real-world consequences of a doctrine involving life-or-death medical decisions.

After returning home, attending BYU-Idaho, rushing into a temple marriage, and later becoming deeply involved in an Amway-associated training organization, Justin began recognizing the same patterns of obedience, shame, and surrendered autonomy repeating throughout his life.

    For most of the first 16 years of her life, Mae Vanders says she was confined to a tiny section of one room inside her family’s hoarded home—never attending school and relying on her older sister, television, and whatever she could read to understand the outside world. Her father invoked the Bible and his role as the “head of the household” to justify extreme control, isolation, and ab*se, until Mae and her mother finally moved out and she began experiencing freedom for the first time.

    At just 18 years old, Donna Lamb arrived in New York City dreaming of becoming an actress—only to be recruited into sex work on her second day in the city. After dr*gs, violence, and a terrifying encounter that made her fear for her life, Donna escaped that world but soon found herself pulled into Aesthetic Realism, a high-control group that she says attempted to change her sexuality, dictated relationships and even s*x, and demanded devotion to its founder, Eli Siegel. Now 77, Donna shares how she finally reclaimed her own voice after decades of surrendering her autonomy.

    Following up our enlightening interview with Mitch Cunico of  @Cult_Audit  about his time as a leader within the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG), we are joined with him LIVE today to further dive into their recruiting process.  Were they recruiting? What do they say? How do they approach college students? How can parents warn their kids? 


    We’ll go behind the curtain into the “Letters to Mother” system and how personal information can create the appearance that “Mother” somehow knows what someone is thinking or struggling with. And what Mitch feels happens when a member begins questioning or leaves the church.

    Former high-ranking World Mission Society Church of God member Mitch Cunico (of  @Cult_Audit ) reveals how a seemingly innocent Bible study pulled him into a South Korean high-control religious group that demanded relentless evangelizing, money, strict obedience, and eventually even control over his marriage. Mitch was matched with a Korean wife he barely knew, living at the church as pastoral staff, watching members’ private confessions allegedly be used to monitor them, and ultimately discovering information that shattered his belief in the organization.
