In this episode, Jordan is joined by co-hosts Chris, a former member of Shincheonji (SCJ), and Steve, a cult expert, to uncover the origins and growth of some of South Korea’s most notorious religious movements.
Our special guest, Rev. Dr. Stephen Yang, begins a multiple part series where he provides an in-depth analysis of the true history behind these cults, including the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG), Shincheonji (SCJ), Jesus Morning Star (JMS) and more. Discover how these groups have influenced each other over time and what has led to their controversial reputation in both South Korea and worldwide.
Don’t miss this eye-opening interview as we explore the hidden connections, doctrines, and dynamics that have shaped these groups. Learn about the psychological tactics used to recruit and retain members, the sociopolitical context that allowed these groups to thrive, and the personal stories of those who have escaped their grasp.
