The Dark Side of Devotion

In the debut episode of The Dark Side of Devotion, co-hosts Anthony, Stephanie, and Sara come together to share how their paths first crossed as teenagers in the Universal Church, a global religious institution with a controversial history. Sara, the daughter of a bishop and born into the church, joins Anthony and Stephanie, who entered the church as teenagers, to recount their shared experiences and how they reconnected years after leaving. This episode also provides an introduction to the church’s history and practices, offering essential context for listeners unfamiliar with its inner workings.
