1:00:46Now PlayingExvangelical artist Monte Mader exposes Christian nationalism, Liberty University indoctrination, and the abuse she endured in a Wyoming fundamentalist cult. Hear how she deconstructed faith, overcame trauma, and now speaks out with bold clarity.
In this powerful episode of Cult Conversations: The Influence Continuum, Dr. Steven Hassan interviews Monte Mader—musician, writer, and viral exvangelical influencer with over a million followers. Monte shares her courageous story of escaping an authoritarian upbringing marked by religious trauma, corporal punishment, and political extremism.
