This is exactly right.

People who didn't do what John of God wanted them to do, they usually disappeared.

John of God was once Brazil's most famous spiritual healer.

But in this limited series podcast, we uncover the darker truth behind his global empire of faith and fear.

Trust me. Do you trust me? Would I ever lead you astray? Trust me. This is the truth.

creator of incredible podcast Two-Faced John of God, which is a new exactly

right podcast series about John of God, the Brazilian, I'm using quotation marks healer,

She'll tell us about how the sexual abuse survivors began to come forward with their stories,
