Narcissists, Gaslighters, and Cheaters, Oh My!

Abusive Culty Toxicity


Listen Later

In this gripping episode, we dive into the harrowing journey of Jena, a survivor who grew up in a cobbled-together toxic Christiany cult. The cult's roots trace back to Southern California before its leader convinced the members to uproot their lives and relocate to the Bible Belt, White House, TN.


Jena shares the chilling details of her upbringing within the cult, where a rigid doctrine based on perfection and blind obedience dominated every aspect of life. As a survivor of sexual abuse, she courageously opens up about the traumatic experiences she endured at the hands of the cult's leaders and members.


Discussions in this episode:
  • Meet Jena
  • Relocating to CA and joining the “church”
  • Childhood controlled by the cult
  • 400+ members migrate to the Bible Belt
  • Trauma of it all
  • Exposing and escaping the abusive cult
  • Surviving the stress of the news circus


As Jena transitioned into young adulthood, she found the strength to expose the cult and take legal action against them. Her brave pursuit of justice involved filing lawsuits for rapes, molestations, underage marriage, and a web of cover-ups that extended through generations within the congregation, often comprised of tightly-knit family members.


Join us as Jena recounts her journey from darkness to light, shedding light on the complexities of escaping a manipulative cult, seeking justice, and ultimately reclaiming her life. This episode serves as a powerful testament to resilience, courage, and the human spirit's ability to break free from oppressive environments.
