Tales From A Cult InsiderForgiveness v FreedomAs I'm working out guests for the podcast and getting the schedules to line up, I've also been reflecting on this idea of healing through truth-telling. I want more of that healing. I'm greedy. I want to be free.
I yearn for freedom from the tendrils and chains of what those cultists did to me - WHILE at the same time, I'm grateful for the hardship that led me to become a deeply happy and blessed person.
So I reflect on all that in this episode. Stay with me! And if you're enjoying this, please...
2024-08-3136 minTales From A Cult InsiderNext Guest: My Dad - Part TwoThis is the second half of the session with just me and my father. He adds more detail and we have a good opportunity to keep proving the truth that there's always more to the story. Also, he's a great dude and I love him.
Thank you as always! Don't forget to rate and share!
2024-08-2334 minTales From A Cult InsiderNext Guest: My Dad - Part OneMy dad stuck around to share more interesting details and more from his perspective about how his life was in the Process, then the Foundation Faith of God.
Thank you all for returning to the podcast, and thank everyone who is just finding it! I hope you enjoy this new approach of healing through truth-telling.
There's more to come!
Please remember to share and rate!
2024-08-1639 minTales From A Cult InsiderFirst Guests: Dad and Sister - Part TwoMy father continues telling his story. Lots of neat details.
We do a lot of good for ourselves and others when we not only listen to there stories but also try to help them tell that story. Often, when we have a story to tell, even a true one that is from our experience, we need help and space to figure out how to tell that story truthfully and in a way that satisfies us.
I hope this episode is the beginning of that for my father and might inspire you to do the same.
2024-08-1337 minTales From A Cult InsiderFirst Guests: Dad and Sister - Part OneAs I mentioned, my father was a big driver of getting this started back up. This is the episode where he starts telling his story, with my sister and I adding color commentary, questions, and our own memories here and there. He shares stuff I didn't know at all.
It's interesting to realize that there really is always more to the story, and there's so much power in telling the truth and knowing what you're saying is being listened to.
2024-08-0934 minTales From A Cult InsiderIntroduction to Season TwoWe're back!
In this episode, I share what has happened over the last couple of years that made it necessary to start a sequel season.
New information, new photos, strengthened relationships, renewed friendships, and healing opportunities got me thinking, "What if I went back and shared all of this with those amazing listeners?"
So I did. And that includes guests! Here's the intro to tell you what to expect and to also tell you all about what happened when - all of a sudden - I heard from someone I hadn't talked to...
2024-08-0325 minTales From A Cult InsiderSurprise! Season Two Intro and TrailerSurprise, there's more!
Lots has happened since "I'm Out" dropped. I've loved the freedom I've felt from the cult as I feel I've truly moved on and healed, so I'm very grateful.
But there's more. Like, more guests with unique insight. And more reconnections. And loads more information.
So welcome to season two of this podcast. Actual Season Two. I think I called some episodes a second season, but this is now the official Season Two.
Thanks for coming along for the ride. More to come soon!

This Could Be InterestingTCBI #4.5 - Stickin' it to Jared Byas - Evan VandenbergAfter the last conversation with Jared Evan and I had a lot of thoughts we still wanted to unpack, so we sat down to do our first ".5". I'm not sure if this is a format that's going to stick or not, but we'll see. The obvious flaw with doing this sort of thing is that in discussing a guest's ideas (or trying to rebut their ideas) they don't have a chance to respond or correct us if we're missing something important.

Win the MomentEpisode 9: Win the Synaptic PathAs this podcast goes on a lengthy, possibly permanent hiatus, I wanted this episode to try and tie up exactly what the entire point of the podcast is. So I use some deep neuropsychology to get at that and to, as near as I can, prove that we can win the moment by catching ourselves before we let the same old passive cycles take over.
We can train our brains, friends.
This episode digs into how that truly is possible and why we should.

Bob had found this podcast and was interested in discussing my childhood and experiences and we ended up doing an interview some weeks later. He also talked to my dad and sister.

It's a very good documentary with an impressive amount of primary sources, interviews, and footage and audio. Very cool stuff.
I had several visceral reactions to this thing. I considered writing them all down, but didn't want to go to the effort. So I recorded an episode.
This one is me being a little less guarded than usual. Not out of vindictiveness, but truth has to be spoken. Not 'my truth' either - just actual truth.

Or even sending that vitriol-filled tweet or post on Facebook.

2020-01-3132 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 38: Life Immediately AfterSo it's not like the story of my life in the cult and then out of the cult is ever really going to end. I am who I am due to my circumstances and my choices and I wouldn't go back for anything. That said, we're winding up this big arc and the podcast is going to come to an end soon - with some epilogues here and there over the next few months or so.
This episode is where I share anecdotes and situations and funny and even important experiences in my immediately post-cult life. In f...
2020-01-2533 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 37: The Great EscapeIt's the episode you might have been waiting for! I talk about how I finally actually got out of the cult. For a guy whose bread and butter is telling stories, I recognize that this story might be somewhat anti-climactic, but it's not. It's true in all the right ways. I made my choices all the way along and those choices helped me get out of the negative, abusive situation and start healing.
So give it a listen and find out how I found the physical freedom I'd sought for so long - although I'd found emotional f...
2020-01-1834 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 36: The Promenade and Easing In and OutOkay friends, we're closing in on the story of my escape. But before that, some things changed for us kids. This episode focuses on all of us kids in the Dallas Branch-- also called the Children's Center. I mention a few things I've talked about in the past and put it all together, doing my best to share what it felt like to be an older teenager in this cult. There was a normalcy, even though it was still bizarre. The conversations I had with new friends were a bit of a taste of what I would experience for...
2020-01-0731 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 35: Memoir Chapter 6: Are You My Father?I share another chapter of my memoir, in which I tell some stories about learning who my real father is, how my biological family sort of evolved, being a ring-bearer at a cult wedding, and more.
I also pose some questions to you, dear listener. I await your response.
Merry Christmas!
2019-12-2029 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 34: The Children's MinistryIf I were a clickbait headline writer, this episode's title would be: Hypocrisy Made Him This. Click To Be Shocked!
The truth is that the name The Children's Ministry might not mean what you think it means. And in this episode, I finally reveal a deep, dark secret that perhaps two people outside of the Dallas Branch kids know. Or really, those two people might not even remember me telling them.
So you get to find it out.
Also, this episode covers one of the most bizarre disconnects that I experienced growing up. But through that disconnect, I found I had...
2019-12-1133 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 33: History and Life of Brian's Bright SideGiven how sort of all over the place the history of the cult is being told in this podcast, I thought it might be useful to really hone the thing's evolution down into a simple explanation of facts, with my own perspective on some of the popular myths about the cult. For example, was it a Satanist cult? Answer in the podcast (spoiler: no).
Also, even in major trauma or very harsh conditions, the human spirit is strong and will find joy. Luckily, this cult was not good but was nowhere near as bad as millions in this world have i...
2019-12-0338 min2019-11-3000 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 32: Memoir Chapter 22: The Cult's Life and Death, But Not ReallyIf you're a long time listener (first time caller :-) ), you know I've written my memoir. I'm revising it now preparatory to sending it to agents. I wanted to share chapter 22 with you, in which I sum up the cult's evolution, and mine as well. It's also a chapter in which I give the cult's founders a much needed message. This chapter was incredibly healing for me to write. I hope you enjoy it.
Remember you can email me, support this podcast, review it, and share it with your crew!
2019-11-2625 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 31: We Were RobbedIt's episode 31 and I'm talking all about being robbed. I also share some interesting experiences I had with old cult cronies over the last weekend and I answer a listener's excellent question about holidays.
The being robbed thing was ongoing, really. But this episode is also about the actual thing when our home was burgled. Crazy, right?
As always, thanks for tuning in. Remember to review and share!
2019-11-1331 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 30: Post-Cult Story 2 - Don't Cut Off My Hand, Bro!This title will become self-explanatory, but spoiler: this episode will especially please theater geeks. Stage acting and everything associated with it blessed my life and changed it fundamentally. My baby face might have gotten me roles, but my roles helped me find a voice.
I tell the stories of my very first ever part in a play, along with my very first solo act, and sort of getting paid to act professionally for a time. Also, theater helped me meet and marry a great lady. Not kidding.
Enjoy. Thanks for stopping by. May I suggest yo...
2019-10-2634 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 29: Night Time Anxiety and Other Ailments (Like Allergies)Being sick in the Foundation Faith of God was not fun. Especially when it was an ongoing anxiety about sleeping. I mean, think about it. Who do you tell when you haven't slept well? Your spouse? Your parent? Your coworker or siblings?
I didn't have any of that. We were all just trying to make it through, man.
So enjoy the stories about ailments in the Foundation. Cringe at your leisure. I'm fine now, so don't worry about it.

2019-10-1131 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 28: What Was Our Religion, Anyway?You'd think that a cult would have a single, controlling doctrine that informed every moment and every action in the lives of its adherents, wouldn't you? Something like this world is an illusion, so everything we do is an attempt to break the illusion. Or our existence is a simulation. Or animals are the actual gods.
Or something else.
But the Foundation Faith of God didn't really, in my experience, have a single uniting doctrine. I explore more about this, why it was the case, and more about the evolution of the cult/commune from Sc...
2019-10-0237 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 27: Post Cult Story 1 - Painfully ShyPart of my growing up in a cult has actually been the growing up I've done outside of the cult. This is a story about good, friendly, generous people helping me find my feet, find my voice a little, and also start finding myself. Because when I got out of that cult, I was in a thick, shy shell. But that wasn't my end form, friends. That was me in embryo, and this story is the story of me breaking free.
At least a little.
So join me at high school dances full of bangs an...
2019-09-2133 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 26: Random Double StandardsLet's get into some of the intricacies of the day-to-day of cult/commune living. In this episode, I share some of the bizarre, sometimes alienating double standards propagated by the Foundation and its members. Things to do with sex, the terrible outside world, and more. Tune in and remember to leave a review!
2019-09-1132 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 25: I Will Not Be ErasedI'm usually down with just telling my stories and being as chill as possible. But several things combined to make this episode necessary. And talking about being essentially erased over and over again by the people who 'raised' me was necessary- because voices will be heard. I will be heard. There appears to be a little anger left in the basement, which I'd like to excise, so this episode was even therapeutic.
Please understand, my intent is not to tear down or deliver a scathing indictment or even to write an exposé of the organization the cult ha...

2019-05-071h 02Tales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 24: Okay, I Had A CrushFor the final episode of Season 1, a lengthy story about a major crush I had. Yes, a crush. On a Scottish girl. The years that I carried this torch became incredibly formative for me and I'm grateful for all I learned and all I did to improve myself.
The last little bit of the episode is a reflection on a moment I had tonight with one of my kids and the juxtaposition of that moment with my life growing up. I get a little... energetic about that.

2019-03-2839 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 23: A Hippie With A Temper Part 2It's part two of the short series about my mother. Our relationship, as I tried to describe in the last episode, was odd at best. We ate Chinese food sometimes. We both read horror novels. We spoke sometimes. But when I shared my honest feelings, it made her angry, so I learned to not do that. She had a life full of what was important to her and surprised me by a late-in-life emergence as a businesswoman. Listen and you will soon discover I have mommy issues.
As always, I'd love your support. Rate, review, share. You c...
2019-03-2138 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 22: A Hippie With a Temper Part 1Now for two episodes about my mother. There's a lot of me doing my level best to get across the experience/relationship I had with my mother- which wasn't all bad, but was not what most people would understand. So listen and you'll probably get a new appreciation for your own parents ( I really hope so at least) and you will also find out that this world is full of so many variations and relationships. Maybe this will help us all gain more empathy for those we inhabit this world with.

The YWCA in Dallas features prominently, as does weird, ritualistic baptism.

2019-02-2755 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 20: Faith School"I'm an equal-opportunity weirdo." Ah, the joys of an unscripted podcast. In this milestone 20th episode, I share lots of details about the school I spent seven years attending. The one created by the cult because of... reasons I can only really speculate about. In many ways, it was awesome. In a few ways, it was meh. It was basically home school, but with less home.

2019-02-2132 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 19: No Idea How To MournThis is a slightly longer episode, as the subject matter merits a bit more time. Plus, I had a question submitted that deserved a good answer. This episode is where I share one of the most important events of my childhood and, frankly, how I screwed it up. It's related to my oldest brother's death and how I really made a mess of my own reaction at the time in a way that actually caused trauma to myself. Yep, I scarred myself. I'm talented like that.

2019-02-1434 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 18: Dogs and Cats Living TogetherMass hysteria! Okay, it wasn't exactly mass hysteria, but being raised by people whose primary focus and goal in life were to rescue animals meant that I was surrounded by furry critters all the time. It wasn't always great. It wasn't always terrible. Listen to learn who the greatest cat ever was.
2019-02-0732 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 17: A Corner, 5000 Lines, and All Points in BetweenIt's a long, long description for an episode about the colorful, sometimes terrible and cruel, and sometimes just bizarre punishments that we received in the cult. I quote Ursula from The Little Mermaid because that's always a good idea.

2019-01-2433 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 15: I Had A Big Problem - Part 2Last time we talked about my big problem: a temper. However, we talked a lot more about someone else's temper than mine and what happened to me when he lost it. In this episode, we talk about how my temper was terrible and one day I lost it badly - and how that was a turning point for me.

2019-01-1032 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 13: The Problem of ParentsSo glad you're back for more!
Here I talk about what many of us cult kids talked a lot about: parents. We were raised as if parents were not needed, although that experience varied due to prestige of one's actual parents. Many of us were lied to about at least one parent. Why? Good question. A few anecdotes and some speculation await you in this episode.
Please consider sharing and reviewing. These two things make all the difference for small podcast like mine.

You'll have to listen if you want to find out how much dog crap I scooped in my lifetime.

There was much work to be done and who better to do a large part of it than a bunch of young, sort of fit youths who couldn't say no? Here's where I tell some of those stories, answer some questions, and get a bit emotional.
2018-12-1329 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 9: Why I Hate HatchbacksThis week's episode is not exactly about hatchbacks. It's more about an unexpected goodbye, a hallucination I had at age seven, and somewhat self-imposed loneliness.
Please consider reviewing and sharing.
2018-12-0628 minTales From A Cult InsiderEpisode 8: Did We Not Have Rent Money?One of the key early features of growing up in the Foundation/Process was that we were nomads. The cult would set up shop, send out its money beggars (as my grandmother called them), and within a couple years move. I was in at least two different pre-schools. Maybe three. I tell stories about this and speculate as to the cause of these moves.

He embodied so much of who and what I want to be and do. I had to devote an episode to him and to the beautiful stories that meant everything to me growing up. And still mean so very much to me now. I mention Teen Titans in this podcast- please know that I am fully aware that they are DC. And Stan was Marvel. I know. Enjoy.

Economics Detective RadioReligion, Political Power, and Economic Growth with Jared Rubin My guest today is Jared Rubin of Chapman University. He is the author of Rulers, Religion, and Riches: Why the West Got Rich and the Middle East Did Not, which is our topic for today. The book deals with the question of why Western Europe became wealthier than the Middle East after centuries of being poorer. The book is part game theoretic model of society, part historical narrative through the lens of that model. The model considers two main factors: the state's power to coerce and its need for political legitimacy granted by elites. Importantly...
