Write into the show!

At just 11 years old, Lindsay Tornambe’s family left Pennsylvania for what they thought was a Bible-based camp in rural Minnesota. But the “camp” was actually the home of a self-proclaimed prophet named Victor, whose control and manipulation would lead to years of trauma, spiritual abuse, and fear.

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, host Josh Doyle and his brother Tommy sit down with Lindsay to hear how she was given away as a “maiden” at just 12 years old—and how she found the strength to escape, expose the truth, and rebuild her life in faith and freedom.

This is one of the most powerful and harrowing survivor stories we’ve ever shared. Lindsay’s courage, honesty, and deep belief in God will move you, challenge you, and remind you of the power of redemption.


⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of child abuse, cult manipulation, and sexual assault. Listener discretion advised.
