My name's Mercedes, and I joined a cult.
Listen as my friend, Leah, talks about her experience in the same cult. She talks about what it was like, why she stayed, and some of what she went through while there.
Welcome to "Our Journey"
I'm your host, Mercedes. One time, I accidentally joined a cult. And now I'm here with my friends and ex-cult members to tell you about it!
Hello and welcome to “Our Journey” the podcast where you hear from those affected by GO Ministries International, the good, the bad, and the downright cult-like. Today we here from Merie, a past GO Ministries International intern and leader between 2009 and 2015.
This is our first glimpse into the interworking of the Ministry. Our hope is to not only promote healing in other past interns who may have experienced similar pains and think that they are alone. We also are wanting to raise awareness so that no other interns are subjected to the same abuse by leadership.

Welcome to Our Journey, the podcast where you hear from those affected by GO Ministries International: the good, the bad, and the downright cult-like. Along with our host, Mercedes, we will be listening to true stories from past interns and leaders of GO Ministries International as well as their family members and loved ones affected by their life in this ministry.
As of June 2022, GO Ministries International is still operating out of Shreveport, Louisiana and is run by Josh and Laci Bredahl and Steve and Becky Munds. They are still accepting young adults to their 24/7 internship where, according to their mission statement, they "train up seekers and pursuers of God's heart through the revelation of His Word and the power of His Spirit, so that the message of the Gospel can be effectively preached around the world and the spirit of revival can ignite in every believers heart."
But is that really what happens at the internship? Decide for yourself as you listen to Our Journey.
