Feet of Clay—Confessions of the Cult Sisters
Feet of Clay – Confessions of the Cult Sisters – What's it like to live in a Christian cult commune? How the hell do smart people get brainwashed into crazy beliefs and behaviors? Tracey & Sharon share their parallel journeys into and out of Last Days Ministries, led by Christian music super-star Keith Green (and later his wife Melody Green). Plus they interview others who also got out of high-control groups and toxic churches. Arranged marriages? Purity culture virgins? Religious trauma? Submission of women and misogyny? Child abuse? Sexual assault? Power hungry patriarchy? Heinous homophobia? Christian nationalism and politics? Yep, we touch on it all. Hear stories of escaping evangelicalism, surviving spiritual manipulation, deconstructing fundamentalism and so much more! Former cult sisters, now turned Exvangelical, tell all with humor and healing, compassion and comedy. Bi-weekly.

026 - A "Brother" from Keith Green's Last Days Ministries Cult - Paul (Part 2)
Paul Kellerman joined Last Days Ministries in 1982. He was a student in the second ever LDM "Intensive Christian Training School," then became a leader in that school, and ultimately part of the cult-commune work-force. In Part 2 of our interview, Paul shares about the confusing trauma of being kicked out of Last Days, and the long, difficult road to freedom and healing.
