Who am I?
I'm a reporter and podcaster, unraveling propaganda and decoding cults in our culture.
What Am I?
My journey started in 2019. Living in a van with no money, I reflected on my upbringing and hastily wrote "The Cult of Christianity: How Churches Control, Contain and Convert"
Since then I’ve become a journalist investigating cults, churches, and trends in religions. My goal is to explain in layman’s terms faith-based complexities. My podcast, "The Cult of Christianity," tackles the problematic nature of white evangelicalism. Rooted in a literary background, my work aims to provoke critical thinking, unraveling conventional narratives. Since 2022, I’ve been a reporter and op-ed contributor for The Click News, specializing in religious reporting, as well as independently publishing stories to my Substack.
