Episode description

This week, we're peeling back the layers of secrecy surrounding the Church of Bible Understanding. Join us on a riveting journey as we uncover the sinister history of this cult, from its inception by leader Stewart Traill in 1971 to its disturbing practices and the lasting impact on ex-members today.

Stewart Traill's path from atheism to founding his own religious movement is a tale of manipulation and deceit. From targeting vulnerable teenagers to coercing followers into relinquishing their lives and finances, Traill's reign over the Church was marked by exploitation and control.

Discover how Traill's charismatic facade drew thousands into his web of deceit, leading to the establishment of over 110 communities across the country. Explore the chilling reality of life within the Church, where members lived in communal settings and were stripped of their autonomy and identity.

Join us as we delve deep into the dark underbelly of the Church of Bible Understanding, shedding light on the truth behind its facade of faith and redemption. It's time to uncover the reality behind the veil of this insidious cult and ensure that those who have escaped find the support and healing they deserve.
