Summary

We felt it was time for a cult episode and this one is crazy. Yes, the Children of God had stars like River and Joaquin Phoenix, and Rose McGowan in it, but how did the leader David Berg get his start? Will you be shocked that it's crazzzzy?  This is Part 1.  NEW MERCH IS OUT! Find us on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and our secret den on Facebook. Support us and get a newsletter twice a month jammed with deconversion stories, resources, religious news and scandals, and our personal rants. It’s an inner circle, so to speak. We also have a SHOP.  And, finally, send us your true, funny stories for us to read on the podcast.
