In this episode I chat with Desi about their experiences growing up in Freedom Fire Ministries. Desi describes life inside the high-control group with a matriarchal, authoritarian leader. Though leaving would mean strained contact with parents, and family members relocating to other parts of the country, Desi has managed to carve out an independent life and speak eloquently and introspectively about their time within Freedom Fire Ministries. Oh! and there is also a segment about the notorious "Cat Cult" Eva's Eden - a nonprofit cat rescue organisation fronted by the same leader!
