In November 2021, BBC News(UK) released a short video of a lady called Jess who was recruited into Shincheonji Church of Jesus which she later discovered was a cult. This led to the #churchorcult Twitter conversation where people shared their own personal experiences of church hurt. From my observations, church hurt is a term many of us are familiar with as well as a collective experience many of us share. Yet, it is a topic that is hardly addressed within some Christian churches. Talk about irony! In this 2nd episode of season 2 on the Soul Food Podcast, I discuss the psychology of cults to help others discern whether they belong to a church or a cult, and to elucidate how impactful the psychological damage cult life cause their victims.
