Spiraled

Former Green Bay Packers star Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila was a stand-up guy in the Green Bay community after he retired from his football career. But in December 2019, his reputation changed when two of his friends were arrested at a Christmas program at his children’s school because they trespassed and carried guns without a license, and Kabeer was the one who sent them. The incident was all over the news. But how did this happen to such a respected figure? What does he believe now? And how many other ex-NFL players have gone down the same spiral?

    The Split

    Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila is a retired Green Bay Packer. He lives with his wife, Eileen, and their beautiful family. He had a successful NFL career and after he retired he stayed active in Green Bay. But behind the smiling dad and doting husband facade, Kabeer was changing. He had discovered a group that held his attention. It was a group that would alter the course of his family’s life.

    Coach Dowell

    He’s big, he’s bold and he’s brash. People flock to him. What is it about Pastor Charles Dowell that intrigued Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and now, two more NFL players that Kalyn learned about? Before the NFL players found him, Dowell still pulled people in - was it the man, his religious doctrine or the lifestyle? If you were tapped by Dowell to move to one of his properties, what would you do? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Little Prophet

    Before there was Pastor Charles Dowell, there was R.G. Stair. Kalyn traces the origins of Straitway Truth Ministry to a group founded and led by the raspy-voiced Last Day Prophet of God. Following these men isn’t a part-time gig. For many followers, it required giving up their belongings, their money, their family. And some are still unpacking what happened to them today.

    The Jezebels

    The women of Straitway Truth Ministry are there for one purpose: to serve the men of Straitway Truth Ministry. Kalyn shares the story of one source who lived at Straitway as a young girl and the life she and her sister endured. There are, however, some women who choose this life willingly - or do they?
