No one joins a cult; everyone joins a good thing, but once you’re in too deep, it can be impossible to tell the difference.
Join us for week one of our Cults Miniseries where we dive into the Children of God which masqueraded as a peace-loving, happy community to the outside but had a sinister reality for those on the inside. Riddled with abuse and sex trafficking this international cult ruined many lives and there are still thousands of cults active today praying on anyone they can get their hands on.
