Summary
In this episode, the psychology of Christ-centred cult leaders is explored. Cult leaders are often narcissistic or psychopathic individuals who have deep-seated insecurities and a poor sense of self. They may have unresolved trauma from childhood and seek to fulfill their own needs and desires through the establishment and control of a cult. Cult leaders often use spiritual language and manipulate biblical teachings to justify their control and gain the worship and adoration of their followers. Recovery for cult leaders is possible, but it requires acknowledging their actions, facing their past, and undergoing a significant amount of personal growth and healing.
