Sisters Jennifer Eckstrom and Steph (Eckstrom) Hardman talk with Charlie and Mike about growing up in The Living Word Fellowship cult. They discuss the cult's control tactics and emphasis on "submission", the intermittent love-bombing and discarding treatment from the Leaders, an interesting letter the sisters found after their mother's sudden passing, and how everyone was depleted, anxious, and depressed for many years leading up to the Great Implosion...yet despite causing many of these mental health problems in the first place, the leadership's stigmatization of going to therapy led to many of them going agonizingly undiagnosed. The story at the end about their Mom's memorial will make your blood boil.
