My name is Cole Crone and I am a FORMER cult member who was adopted by the Heavenly Father, by the blood of Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. By God's infinite grace, I was brought to historical and biblical Christianity and I want to give my life to helping as many people as possible to find the same comfort, peace, and theological depth that I have through this process. Here, I will share MY story of coming OUT of a cult and coming TO true Christianity. I will highlight the psychological and theological tactics commonly employed by cults. I will help document specific cultic groups by looking at their history, theological distinctives, and provide some insight as to how Christians might reach them with the gospel. If you think that you, or someone you know, maybe in a cult, or you are a Christian who wants to learn how to engage people in false faiths, this channel is for you! May we find the truth of God together...
