The Warriors Community

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. Today's episode addresses one out of many perspectives about this belief. There are so many more conversations we could have around this question and we will certainly make time to have them one day! I hope this episode at least provides some hope and assurance.

It has taken me a little while to formulate a response to latest church scandal at Daystar. The scandal broke out a few months ago, during the Holidays. But today, I have decided to give a response and link information so you can research on your own. Links mentioned in Today's Podcast:1 . Podcast Response to Both Sides2.

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. I must say that I am beyond proud of my parents and deeply thankful for their continued love and support.

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. We don't hear much about what family members and loved ones go through when they know someone involved in a cultish environment. There are a lot of family members and loved ones who feel isolated and helpless. So, we have decided to provide some tools, resources, and stories that we believe we will help them in their healing journey. Helpful Tools & Resources: 1.

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 you do and don't want?

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, or legalism as "unity." Today, we are going to discuss the importance of diversity and how to find a healthy community.

Recently, I read a powerful book about abuse in the church that was so impactful, I have to share it! I also happened to be reading this book at the perfect time when I went through a personal experience that this book directly speaks to. There are a lot of powerful tools and resources in today's episode! This episode is specifically for victims of abuse who feel unheard, unseen, unbelieved, dismissed, or who have experienced harassment, stalking, threats, or blackmail for speaking out. Please Note: This conversation just scratches the surface. There is so much more to this conversation than what we discuss today.

I found today's guest by accident. As I was researching, I came upon a Ted Talk by Ashley Easter, founder of Courage365. As I listened, I thought, "I have to know more about this person!" So, I researched Ashley and found her website, Courage365. I quickly discovered that Ashley is a survivor of a cult who now uses her non-profit to provide a safe community, free resources, and more for anyone who has experienced religious abuse. Today, Ashley shares her story, along with what she is doing to serve people who have experienced religious abuse.

This conversation is a topic I've wrestled with recently and a topic I am sure everyone can relate to struggling with now and then. I am talking about what happens when people attack you. How do you respond? What do you give space to or open yourself up to when you are being attacked? What happens in your head and your heart? Due to recent events, I had to take a step back, check my heart, check my stance, and spend a lot of time on my knees in prayer. I wrestled through a lot of hurt and anger and I want to take time to share that with you and how I came to the healthy place I am in now.
