Peter Young - Escaping a Cult and Religious Experience

Peter Young is an author, sports broadcaster and former college basketball player. He also escaped a small religious cult.

While broadcasting in a small town in Idaho, he fell in love with a woman that he met at a small local Bible study. They started dating shortly thereafter. Locals in town would tell him about her family's "weird spiritual guru." He ignored the naysayers and married her less than a year after meeting her.

Mr. Young would soon find himself in a small religious cult that would become a part of his life for the next 20 years. It wasn't until after his divorce that he was rescued from the grips of the faith that destroyed his family.

He comes on the podcast to discuss his story, how to spot a religious cult, how "normal" people fall into a cult, escaping after two decades, and how his Christian faith helped him with his escape.
