The Project Hope Podcast is for families and friends with a loved one in a group of high demand / high control. Our aim is to provide hope through the stories of people who have both left such groups, as well as families, partners and friends who have struggled with the loss or distance of a loved one to such a group. We interview experts on psychological and social patterns that are found within these dynamics, as well as families and survivors.

New podcast episodes are released on Wednesdays.

Jennifer is the host and owner of Jennifer French. She has an advanced degree in coercive control and serves clients across the world. She is also a research associate at Salford University, England.

Please note, Jennifer is not a licensed psychotherapist and is not licensed by any California Regulatory Agency.

Jennifer has first hand experience having been in a cult for 11 years. This deeply affected her relationships outside of the organization and she now hopes to help those who are suffering with the issues and considerations that arise from being distanced from loved ones. To know more about Jennifer and her offerings, please visit jennifer-french.com. You can also find her on facebook and instagram!

    S2 Ep. 31: Ryan Hernandez (P3) on his Catholic sect as an End Times Cult & “The Truth That Heals Podcast”.

    S2 Ep. 31: Ryan Hernandez (P3) on his Catholic sect as an End Times Cult & “The Truth That Heals Podcast”.

    In 2004, Ryan Hernandez joined a Catholic religious community to live a life of prayer, education, and charity. He was just 17 at the time that he left his life in Los Angeles to follow "The Call" and to follow Christ. Many years later, he would refer to this Catholic sect as an End Times Cult.

    While in the group he had been a devoted follower and loyal member but there was also abuse and brainwashing taking place and it was this abuse and growing shame that became an unbearable burden for him to bear. After years of bullying, physical abuse, humiliation, psychological abuse, and even solitary confinement, Ryan decided to leave the community.

    Outside of the cult, Ryan found that his mind was still under their influence and negativity. After years of being brainwashed that life outside of the community would mean being cursed by God Ryan found himself in deep depression, loneliness, and shame. With the help of some true friends and a supportive family, Ryan was able to find the healing that he needed and to free himself from the cultic influences that had entrapped him.

    Ryan is now working to bring awareness to cult abuse and other important issues through his project called "The Truth That Heals Podcast". It is available on major podcast platforms.
