Jaye Cole and Sonya Morris are survivors of "Believers House Worldwide Ministries" in Norfolk, VA. They are leading a campaign among others to share their stories of the horrific spiritual, physical, psychological, and sexual abuse they experienced and witnessed from Pastor Bernard Chaney. Survivors are seeking justice for the many children victimized at the church's school "Voice of Believers Academy." Bernard is under investigation but has not been charged with any crimes. Thanks to Jaye and Sonya for sharing with us their inspiring story of survivorship and their passionate fight for justice.
In this heartbreaking but important conversation, Jaye and Sonya begin to reveal their traumatic experiences of coercive control and extreme abuse perpetrated at the Believer's House Worldwide Ministries led by "Pastor" Bernard Chaney. They break down their respective hardships and familial struggles as they attempted to seek faith in the church only to be deceived, abused, and taken advantage of by the congregation's sociopathic leader. Rachel offers what comfort she can by outlining the common tactics employed by sociopathic and narcissistic leaders of high control groups.
Before You Go: Rachel advises careful scrutiny of leaders who anoint themselves with lofty titles, warning that it's often simply an attempt to quell the questioning of their perceived infallible authority.
