A podcast about the IFB Cult as told by survivor Sadie Carpenter, with her co-host Gavri'el HaCohen. This podcast covers the IFB, the history of the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement, other cults, other religions, and the real and present threat that cults and cult ideologies pose to society as a whole. Our goal is to promote freedom of mind, freedom of thought, and freedom of religion.
General Content Warning: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics.

Customer Reviews
A Great Listen!
Sadie and Gavi have taught me so much about cults and the IFB in general. Just this morning-a Sunday-I noticed a large school bus for a Baptist church in the town over from mine. In the past, I never would have thought twice, but now I know so much more. I love listening to these two funny and smart friends and learning while I do it!
Hard to listen
The info Sadie provides is super interesting. I’ve learned a lot. BUT I absolutely could not listen to the Josh Duggar episodes from a while back due to her completely stuffed up nose and literally blowing her nose and sniffling throughout the episode. I really want to listen but Sadie’s voice is too aggravating. It sounds like she needs to clear her throat constantly but she doesn’t. I can’t listen anymore.
I like it and also can’t listen to it for very long
Upside: I find some some insights (especially from Sadie) to be some of the most concise and clear explanations of harm and abuse I’ve heard in a cult podcast.
Downside: Please get a vocal coach. No offense personally, but the nasal and gravelly tone literally makes it impossible to continue listening at times even when I want to. A coach can teach you how to relax your throat so it’s way more enjoyable to listen.
The “offering” and intro music is triggering for me. Hate both of those things.
Also there are times they step out of their lane in a way that’s not at all good. Example: reviewing Shannon Harris’ book and adding their opinion about whether they think she was sincere in her beliefs at any given point. How can you possibly know how someone else felt and why do you feel like it’s appropriate to tell everyone your opinions of someone else’s thoughts or feelings?
It for real the vocal quality was better and I could trust that they stay in their lane this would be my favorite podcast.
