This is Heaven Bent.

I'm Tara Jean Stevens.

It's now November 24, and my season 5 spotlight on Art Lucia and the harvest continues.

I'm here on the west coast of Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia.

It's kind of stormy here today. But I wanted to check in because before we get into this next

episode, I just want you to know that I've still had no luck connecting with art about my various requests for comment

or the open invitation to still be a part of this. Why am I standing out in the rain?

This is, sorry, serious. Also, on this episode, heads up, the story being told involves serious stuff,

potentially triggering topics such as self-injury.

So, as always, listener discretion is advised.

Thank you. And I was praying for everyone, and I started praying in tongues and crying and, like, sobbing face down on the floor, just, you know, sprawled out.

And I couldn't stop. I just kept going and going and I didn't even really know what was going on around me.

I just completely lost myself in it.

And after the service, I didn't know.

I had no clue that art was in the corner watching me

as all this was going on.

So after the service, I kind of just like stumbled over to him

feeling sort of like heady and like, I don't know, out of it.

Episode 3, The Little Intercessor

I walked over to Art and said, you know, what just happened?

Because I didn't know.

And he just grinned and he looked super excited.
