Podcaster and cult survivor, Roy Clemens, opens up about the struggles of life as a "Kingdom Kid," grappling with the realization that the ICOC is more than just a church—it’s a cult. We explore the lasting impact of purity culture on adulthood, from internalized shame to relationship challenges. Discover how storytelling becomes a powerful tool for healing, as Roy shares his journey of reclaiming his narrative and finding empowerment through sharing his experiences on his podcast, Clemenz with a Z.
