Ep. 1: What Makes a Cult? REMASTERED (Fundamentalism / BITE Model / Life Story / Christianity / Jesus / Religion / Baptist / IFB / First Baptist Church of Hammond / Introduction / Pilot / Pokemon)

In the pilot episode of the Leaving Eden Podcast, we meet our hosts, cult survivor and cult expert Sadie Carpenter, and her co-host, Gavriel HaCohen. We get the overview of Sadie's life story and learn about what the difference is between a cult and a religion. Gavri'el introduces the homework section, in which Sadie is assigned media that she missed out on growing up in a cult. This episode's assignment is the first six episodes of Pokemon Indigo League.

This episode has been remixed and remastered.
