EP. 87 We Were In a Cult? Chelsey’s Story

What's up everyone!  New episode up in the "We Were In a Cult?" series here on the Clemenz With a "Z" Podcast.  I was able to speak with former member Chelsea about her life growing up in the ICOC.  We were able to speak about all things growing up in this church and what it was like leaving.  We spoke a good bit about the one place for us that was a bright spot in this mess and that was the summer camp The Swamp and why this place was so great for all of us kingdom kids.  

We were also able to speak more about the teen ministry, feeling eyes on us all the time, the purity culture in the teens, and the way girls were treated here.  The biggest take away for me was that it is important to only have a sandwich at lunch and not a sandwich, chips and a pickle.  

If you are a member, were a member, or know someone who was a member of the ICOC and would like to share your story of your life in and out of the church and help us maybe get closer to answering the question "we were in a cult?", and maybe find some healing please contact me via email at clemenzwithaz@gmail.com or you can DM via Instagram at the "Clemenz With a "Z" podcast" Instagram page. 

As always, thank you for your continued support and if you like what you hear please rate and review!  If you don't remember, I'm just a channel, I ain't the source.
