Summary
In this powerful episode, we dive into the inspiring story of Jessica Evans, a brave individual who defied the clutches of a cultlike church and embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, liberation, unconditional self-love.
Through candid conversations, Jessica reveals the process of shedding the victimhood that had plagued her for years. She opens up about the doubts, fears and uncertainties she encountered on her path to liberation and how she overcame them with resilience and determination.
Jessica Evans is the author of the book Fade To Light and shares her story of leaving a closed religious society that refers to itself as “The Truth.” The book follows her travels as she wrestles with finding identity. Eventually it’s clear what is needed most—to learn unconditional love. This love is very different from what was experienced growing up within the boundaries of the Truth’s rulebook.
