Ep. 9 - Touchdowns and Tithes

Описание: We’re making up for skipping a week and blessing your feed with TWO episodes today! 🎉

I sit down with Hersal Pickett — a former member of my old church (but not my congregation) — who opens up about his time in the doomsday cult, the Worldwide Church of God. Like Pam in the last episode, Hersal caught on early that something wasn’t adding up.

Hersal is a UNC Chapel Hill basketball superfan 🏀, a proud husband and dad, a badass cancer survivor (say it with me: #fuckcancer), and quite possibly the nicest human alive. Case in point: I mispronounced his name the entire episode, and this man didn’t correct me once. 🙃 It’s HERSAL, y’all — not Hershal. My bad, friend.

Get into it, and enjoy! 🔥🎙️
