    📚 Get a Copy of Bethany’s memoir, Dinner for Vampires, here: https://amzn.to/3O7AAiB In this deeply moving episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, I sit down with Bethany Joy Lenz—actress, singer, and New York Times bestselling author of Dinner for Vampires. Best known for her decade-long role on One Tree Hill, Bethany shares her extraordinary story of resilience, breaking free from a high-control Bible study-turned-cult, and finding healing after years of manipulation and abuse.

Bethany’s inspiring journey reveals how she reclaimed her autonomy and faith, offering profound lessons for anyone navigating life's darkest moments. Topics We Cover: – The hidden dangers of cults disguised as safe spaces – How her evangelical upbringing made her susceptible to manipulation – Balancing the highs of One Tree Hill with the lows of life in a cult – The pivotal role of motherhood in her decision to leave – Practical advice for spotting and avoiding high-control groups About Bethany Joy Lenz: Bethany is a multi-talented artist who rose to fame as Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill. She has also starred in Guiding Light, Grey’s Anatomy, Charmed, Felicity, Suits, Dexter, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
