I can recognize how you were being groomed at a very, very young age to be there for him and to please him and to be a role that really you weren't born to be. And a lot of your story I'm relating to in ways I can't even really I mean, because I came to from the Christian cult in South Carolina when I was in my early, early 20s, and the prophet of God was there and you didn't displease him.
What would you do if your childhood was spent in a cult, controlled by a father who was the leader? In this gripping episode of The MY House Podcast Network's REDEMPTION, Staci and Juliah sit down with Elishaba Doerksen, the courageous author of Out of the Wilderness. Elishaba opens up about her harrowing early years, marked by intense isolation and abuse within a Christian cult led by her father.
She recounts the chilling details of being groomed to please him and the overwhelming control that defined her upbringing. Despite the heavy themes, Elishaba's story is one of incredible resilience and hope. Through therapy and unwavering support, she has navigated her way to healing and found her voice. This episode is the first part of a two-part series, offering listeners a deep dive into Elishaba's journey from darkness to light.
Don't miss out on this powerful conversation that sheds light on the dynamics of cults and the vital role of therapy in recovery. Tune in for part two in two weeks, and in the meantime, explore more about Elishaba's book, Out of the Wilderness, through the provided link.
