What's up my peeps! For episode 73 of I had the honor of interviewing Andrew Pledger. Andrew is a IFB cult survivor, podcaster, religion recovery coach, writer, content creator, and activist. Andrew wanted to share his story on the podcast. We discuss how he was raised in a Christian cult and experienced religious trauma and abuse being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. We discuss the the moment he realized he was in a cult, how it all started, coming out and the reaction his family and the IFB had, the things he experienced, how he left the IFB cult, what motivated him want to begin sharing his story to the world, and much more. #survivor #cult #lgbt
