Come take take a closer look with us at Newfrontiers, a global network of Christian churches founded in 1979 by Terry Virgo. We explore the role of modern day apostles, calvinism, church discipline, joyful female submission (puke), and power structures within the organization. Jessica then nerds out on cult theory and discusses if New Frontiers meets the criteria to be considered a cult using Steven Hassan’s BITE model.
