About this podcast

Leaving the Message: Our Stories is a collection of firsthand testimonies from people who have left high-control religious groups, authoritarian churches, and spiritually abusive environments. These conversations focus on lived experience — what it was like inside, what leaving cost, and what recovery looks like afterward. Guests share their stories in their own words, exploring themes of control, fear, identity, faith, family, and healing. This podcast exists to preserve voices that are often ignored or misunderstood, and to provide understanding, validation, and hope for those navigating life after high-demand religion. Full conversations and additional context can be found on the main Leaving the Message YouTube channel. Views expressed by guests or co-hosts are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of Derby Media Group LLC. Legal: https://www.william-branham.org/site/legal
