This week’s guest is ex-cult member Vennie Kocsis, who grew up in the fundamentalist Bible cult founded by Sam Fife–the Move of God, or just “The Move.”

Reaching its heyday in the mid-1970s, not only was it growing, it was reaching into the mainstream of society also. Focusing heavily on an end-times, apocalyptic message, Fife’s group seemingly started out innocently enough…but ultimately descended into a high-control religious group, complete with compounds, guns, and long working hours for its adherents.

Vennie grew up in the midst of that–and ultimately escaped and began the difficult journey of rebuilding her life, post-cult. This is a story of survival of horrific abuses, but just as equally, a story of the triumph of the human will over incredible adversity.
