  • Shortcut: Cults and Coercive Control
    Jun 30 2025

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    For over 65 years, the Geelong Revival Center, an extremist Pentecostal network led by founder Noel Hollins, has faced accusations of being a cult.


    With Hollins’ death in 2024, the church remains under strict leadership, sparking calls for investigations under Australia’s coercive control laws.


    In this episode, former members Ryan Carey and Nat Murphy share their experiences growing up in the church and their efforts to expose its practices.
