Can a Mega Church become a Cult? | La Luz del Mundo Reaction

La Luz del Mundo is one of the largest religious organizations in the world—so how did it end up at the center of shocking abuse allegations and cult accusations? In this episode, we react to a powerful “How I Escaped My Cult” story from someone who grew up inside La Luz del Mundo.

We explore what makes a church cross the line into cult territory: Is it the teachings, the control, or the corruption of leadership? Can a religion still do good while being built on abuse and manipulation?

Join us as we unpack this emotional story, compare it with our own experiences, and ask the hard questions about faith, power, and control.
