Survivors Break Their Silence: The Horrors of Bernard Chaney's Cult
And I will say that it is in fact a cult.
Imagine living every day under the iron grip of a cult leader who controls every aspect of your life. In this gripping episode of 'Speaking Up with Andrew Pledger', we hear from survivors Shajuana Coleman and Tiffany Lashay as they recount their terrifying experiences under Bernard Chaney, the pastor of 'Believers House Worldwide Ministries'. For years, Chaney wielded his power to commit unimaginable acts of spiritual, physical, psychological, and sexual abuse against his followers.
Shajuana and Tiffany share their stories of manipulation, fear, and shame used by Chaney to maintain his control over the congregation. They reveal the harrowing details of how Chaney controlled members' money, forced them to eat filth, and physically assaulted them. Even more shocking is the abuse that took place at the church's school, 'Voice of Believers Academy', where children were sexually assaulted.
Despite the trauma they endured, these brave survivors are now seeking justice and raising awareness about the dangers of religious cults. Their stories highlight the importance of holding abusive leaders accountable and supporting those who have suffered under their control.
