My guest today is Tara Jean Stevens, she's is the host & creator of Heaven Bent, a podcast
docuseries with a special focus on Pentecostal and Charismatic
movements. Born and raised on the West Coast, she's also been a morning show favourite on Vancouver radio & TV, for 25 years. Tara and i sat down and discussed the origin story of her podcast, her journey in, and out of organized religion and how the pod cast has taken a life of its own and become a sort of platform for the unheard. In this conversation Tara Jean Stevens and i also discusses her journey in exploring the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, driven by numerous requests from individuals seeking awareness about the community's issues. She delves into the themes of spiritual abuse, manipulation, and the emotional toll on young people involved, particularly in light of the revelations surrounding its leader, Mike Bickle. The conversation highlights the importance of addressing these stories and the personal impact they have on those who share them.
