Summary

Amy Carlson—better known as “Mother God”—appeared on "Dr. Phil" in 2020, about a year before her shocking and tragic end. She claimed to be a 19-billion-year-old divine being with the power to cure diseases. In reality, she was a cult leader who manipulated followers through bizarre beliefs, financial scams, and toxic control.

Dr. Phil analyzes "Love Has Won", exposing the group’s disturbing rituals, their leader’s extreme behavior—including consuming alcohol all day—and the astonishing sums they charged for fake miracle cures. From Amy’s delusional claims of reincarnation to the alarming stories of child mistreatment and psychological control, this episode uncovers how breaking free from her grasp was a matter of life and death.
