About this listen

When spiritual authority crosses into control, how do you recognize it—and why is it so hard to name while you're inside it?

In this episode of Christian True-Crime Junkies (which coincides with Spiritual Abuse Prevention Month), Jaime sits down with Alana for the final installment of a 3-part interview exploring Alana's experience in a Christian cult during her college years. What began as a faith community rooted in belonging and purpose slowly revealed patterns of manipulation, control, and spiritual abuse.

Through Alana's firsthand account, we begin unpacking how high-control religious environments form, why intelligent and faith-seeking young adults are especially vulnerable, and how Scripture, obedience, and "submission" can be weaponized to silence questions and override personal discernment.
