Episode 5 | Escaping the Cult with Topher from True Crimes Against Wine

When Topher’s family became entangled in John MacArthur’s cult, he barely escaped with his freedom intact. In this episode, he shares his journey of healing, humor, and rebuilding after religious trauma.

Topher, host of True Crimes Against Wine, talks about what it means to unpack spiritual abuse, rediscover your voice, and reclaim joy after years of manipulation and control. His story is both sobering and inspiring—a reminder that healing is possible even after deep religious trauma.

This conversation is raw, honest, and filled with hope.
