Ep 1275 | Cult Survivor: Child 'Maiden' Escapes & Is Set Free by Jesus | Lindsay Tornambe
Podcast: Relatable with Allie Beth StuckeyRating: Explicit Published On: Fri Dec 05 2025
Description: At the age of 12, Lindsay was handed over to cult leader Victor Barnard as one of his “maidens.” For 10 years, she endured grooming, sexual abuse, and spiritual torment — all justified by a twisted interpretation of scripture. At 23, she fled. Thirteen years later, the true gospel broke through. Allie hosts this gut-wrenching, hope-filled story of escaping a cult, confronting evil, and discovering the real Jesus who heals the deepest wounds.
