In this episode I sit down with one of my favorite humans and former cult bestie, Cali Attwood to talk through what it looks like to come out of a cult and find healing on the other side. We talk about the importance of therapy in recovery, how to separate your faith in God from the hurt caused by people, and how to maintain hope in the church despite the failures of its leaders. Whether you’ve walked this path or know someone who has, this episode offers hope and insight for rebuilding your life and faith.
