Outside of Sunday

Episode 63 - Rosanna Overcomer, Part 3: Navigating Life & Faith Outside of Gloriavale


Listen Later

In the final chapter of our conversation with Rosie from Gloriavale, we delve into the reconciling of her faith outside of the abusive cult. Rosie details her intense emotional struggles, including daily panic attacks, and the liberating feeling of finally being free, a year after leaving Gloriavale. Rosie and Christa discuss the problematic teachings of Gloriavale, such as the stigmatization of grace and liberty, the unrealistic expectation of sinlessness, and the controversial belief that having fewer children is equivalent to killing future children.

The episode concludes with a message from Rosie to the New Zealand Christian community, a call to prayer and a look into how Rosie is currently living her faith outside of Sunday.
