From Obedience to Empowerment: One Woman’s Recovery From Faith Assembly | Lael McKay (Nei) | Ep. 491

John and Lael open up about the hidden cost of growing up under religious control. Lael McKay, a former member of Hobart Freeman’s Faith Assembly, shares her life story—from an idyllic Indiana childhood shadowed by legalism and fear, to years of silence about physical pain, sexual abuse, and her father’s preventable suffering under faith-healing teachings. Together, John and Chino explore how purity culture, fear of hell, and denial of medical care shaped entire families. Through raw honesty and reflection, Lael describes her path through therapy, rediscovering safety, compassion, and spiritual balance. This conversation offers hope for survivors of high-control religious movements and insight into the lifelong impact of spiritual abuse and recovery. 00:00 Introduction 00:31 Childhood, Church Life, and Early Memories 05:10 Purity Culture, Medical Neglect, and Hidden Suffering 10:48 Cult Dynamics, Lying for Survival, and Positive Confession 16:24 Adult Life, Lingering Effects, and Medical Avoidance 21:06 Purity Rules, Shame, and Early Sexual Trauma 27:57 Rapture Fear, Hell Anxiety, and Spiritual Trauma 34:01 Family Breakdown, Fear-Based Teaching, and Identity 38:58 Protection from Outsiders and Hidden Support Systems 45:22 Father’s Illness, Medical Neglect, and Long-Term Trauma 51:02 Entering Therapy and Rebuilding Life 57:04 Healing, Family Grace, and Final Reflections ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ – Support the channel:   / branham   – Subscribe to the channel:    / @leavingthemessage   – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org – Follow on Facebook:   / williambranhamorg   – Follow on TikTok:   / william.m.branham   – Follow on Twitter:   / wmbhr   – Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books
