Episode 92 - University Recruitment & the ICoC with Anton (Part 2)

In this second part of a two-part conversation, we hear from Anton again. In this episode he describes how he starts to see the control exerted over him by the group he has joined at university, the International Church of Christ, and what prompts him to make the decision to leave. He describes the process of extracting himself and starting over, and shares with us some insights about what students can do to protect themselves from predatory groups on campus.
