Siblings Carol (Bakalyan) Ames and David Bakalyan join us to discuss their experiences with The Bible Speaks, later known as Greater Grace World Outreach.

From traveling hours upon hours on school nights for services, to selling their family home for the church, to Lenox and "Divine Design" marriages, this episode is at times devastating and amusing - but remains powerful throughout.

TW: Mentions of various forms of abuse (including sexual, financial, religious, and mental abuse), abandonment/neglect, bullying, and trauma.
