Episode #13 The Worldwide Church of God -Interview With Ex-Member Cherie
Join us as we dive into the world of the Worldwide Church of God (now Grace Communion International) with Cherie, a survivor who shares her firsthand experience of growing up in this high-control religious group founded by Herbert W. Armstrong in 1933. As an expert in cult dynamics, I explore with Cherie the indoctrination tactics used within the group, the psychological impact of disfellowshipment, and the lasting struggles many face after leaving, including anxiety and a loss of identity.
Cherie’s story is one of resilience—she not only reclaimed her life but also chose to raise her children differently, breaking the cycle of control. In this episode, she discusses her healing process and the support network she built through her Facebook group, providing a safe space for others navigating life after leaving.
This is a must-listen for anyone interested in cult recovery, religious trauma, and survivor-led advocacy. Tune in and discover how Cherie—and countless others—are finding freedom, healing, and community beyond the confines of high-control religion.
