Dominique (Dom) Benninger is a technologist, researcher, and institutional accountability advocate based in Pennsylvania. A survivor of the high-control college group known as the Narrowgate Fellowship, Dom has spent years documenting how spiritual manipulation, psychological coercion, and authoritarian control operate within religious communities. After later blowing the whistle on a convicted predator in a Pennsylvania church, he channeled his tech background into systemic reform. Dom co-founded BaptistAccountability.org and serves as Vice President of ProtestantAccountability.org, an expansive survivor-led database that aggregates public records of clergy abuse and organizational concealment. His work bridges lived experience and data science to expose institutional abuse and help people identify manipulation tactics.

Wendell Wood cohosts the Agents of Recovery podcast that focuses on men’s mental health and addiction recovery. He is also a certified coach with Addict II Athlete, a nonprofit organization that helps men and women erase the pain and traumas associated with addiction and replace them with things of greater value. Wendell is a survivor of child sexual abuse and he’s currently working on turning the mess of his own addiction into the message of recovery.  As a result of his own healing journey, and with the encouragement and support of his wife Janice, Wendell is currently going back to school to get his master's degree in clinical mental health counseling so that he can help other men along their journey of recovery.

Joseph Born, “Joe,” is joining us from the frozen lands of Alaska. Joe, who is half Alaska Native himself, shares how his early childhood abuse shaped his life and highlights the systems that failed to protect him. He also discusses how his mental health diagnoses and addictions relate to his abuse. And the challenges they presented during trauma therapy.
