#63-Talking Cults and Healing with Vennie Kocsis

Vennie Kocsis was born into a Naval family, beginning her life with a childhood filled with adventure and exploration as her father retired from the Navy and went to work for Northrup Grumman. However, her idyllic years came to an abrupt end when her mother was lured into an evangelical cult known as Sam Fife’s Move of God. In her memoir, “Cult Child,” Vennie delves into the challenging circumstances of her upbringing within two wilderness compounds, highlighting the resilience that got her through those difficult, formative years.
In the episode, Vennie shares the harsh conditions she grew up in and the journey into recovering from the terror that was her childhood. 
Vennie’s fourth book, “Keeper of Backwards Men,” is now available on Amazon.
