EPISODE 105: Cult survivor, digital creator, and Speaking Up podcast host Andrew Pledger joins the boys on the podcast this week to discuss religious abuse, identifying manipulation red flags, overcoming obstacles, and becoming your own hero.
A religious trauma survivor raised in a fundamentalist Christian cult, Andrew was expelled from Bob Jones University after a controversial interview with author Josh Harris. His experiences have inspired him to pursue psychology to help survivors and turn his pain into purpose as he helps people grapple with life after spiritual and religious abuse.
Andrew’s previous work has been featured on Yahoo, MSN, and Nerdwallet. His primary mission is utilizing social media to bring awareness to religious trauma, cults, and mental health. He is now a content creator, activist, writer, and religion recovery coach using digital platforms to share his story and inspire others.
