A new episode of Generation Cult is now available for download! Find Season 3’s Episode 12: ‘Searching for Healthy Community with Sarah’ on most podcast platforms including Apple, Soundcloud, Spotify and Amazon. Here’s a short clip:
Sarah grew up in a bible-based group in Ohio with about 400 members, many of whom are related to her. She was sexually abused throughout her childhood, something she reported to leaders of her organization, who not only didn’t stop the perpetrators but told her she was one who had sinned.
Sarah left in her early 20s struggling with mental health issues as she got her education, traveled the world and started her own business. Along the way, she searched for a new, healthy community where she could feel safe and comfortable. She found that in the friends she made and a Christian church where she is allowed to ask questions and debate with the leaders.
Join us as we hear Sarah’s story and discuss why she considers her family’s group a cult vs the more supportive communities she found herself in after she left.
