Once lost in a haze of fear, shame, and end-times dogma, Michael Harris grew up inside a strict and often abusive religious environment that left deep scars. But out of that darkness came a lifeline: music. As the frontman of the genre-defying band Idiot Pilot, Michael channeled his confusion, rage, and longing into sound—finding salvation not in scripture, but in song. On this episode of Exodus Brothers, Michael opens up about the role music played in his survival, the cost of growing up in a harmful faith system, and the long road to healing. It’s a raw, honest conversation about breaking free, reclaiming your voice, and finding transcendence outside the church walls.Theme music: Idiot Pilot
