In this episode, Jayson is joined by Greg Lygon, a former member of Calvary Temple, a church in Sterling, Virginia that has spent more than a decade ensnared in scandals about emotional, sexual and physical abuse, controlling members and alienating them from the rest of the world.

They will talk about community, loss of power and religion, the prevalence of cults hidden behind buildings that look like any other religious organization, religious trauma in general and what happens to you emotionally and socially when religious leaders, the people who are supposed to guide us, our Shepherds, betray us.
