Early 2017, an AP investigative journalist released a series of articles he'd been working on for years about a religious cult based out of Spindale - only 45 minutes down the road from Morganton. John Huddle has been out of the Word of Faith Fellowship cult for about 10 years. To the church's dismay, and at the cost of his relationship with his family who are still members, he has spent that time speaking out against the church's manipulative and violent practices, and working to create a safe pathway for others to escape.
