Sissell recounts her upbringing in a missionary household, her father’s pursuit of supernatural signs, and their journey from Pentecostal roots into an increasingly authoritarian and prophetic movement. She describes formative moments—living in Jeffersonville during the release of the “Seven Seals,” attending Branham’s meetings, and witnessing both staged and misunderstood miracles that deeply shaped her father’s faith. Her mother remained skeptical, and a tragic car accident later marked a turning point, curbing her father’s ministry. As the story unfolds, Sissell reflects on the damage caused by these movements—relational fractures, theological confusion, and personal trauma. She shares her own path to healing through simple faith, rejecting the hyper-spirituality that marked her earlier years. They examine how cult-like belief systems create cycles of “revictimization,” drawing people into new controlling systems after they escape the old ones. Their conversation closes with Sissell’s desire to warn others in Norway through a YouTube initiative, urging those who’ve left high-control groups to anchor themselves in Scripture, reject performance-based religion, and seek authentic relationships grounded in love.
