In Episode 24 of The Cult Next Door Podcast, titled "Snake Oil Salesman," hosts Mattie, and Ashleigh delve into David Brown's personal journey within the confines of Crusade Church. Initially, David had believed the pastor to be a brother in need of support and encouragement, but over time, he came to a startling realization.

Through introspection and observation, David uncovers the true nature of the pastor: a malignant narcissist adept at manipulating the emotions and beliefs of his entire congregation. This revelation serves as a turning point in David's understanding of the dynamics at play within the church community and within the Lasiter Family.
