The Journey of Claire - A Xenos Survivor

Where Are We Going? A Spiritwatch Podcast by Rev. Rafael Damian Martinez

Episode notes

One of the first survivors of the Xenos / Dwell cultism in Columbus, Ohio who we personally were able to meet and share with was a young woman by the name of Claire. Like the story of the very first individual who originally emailed us about their traumatic time in Xenos, Claire's unconscionable violation at the hands of a Xenos member while a teenage girl and how she was ostracized for it is yet another reminder that any church that acts like a cult usually is one. The "counsel" and "pastoral care" of the cult's leader Dennis McCallum which he provided to her afterwards is one of the most shameful derelictions of spiritual duty I've ever heard. WARNING: Explicit discussion of sexual violence may be triggering to victims of sexual abuse.
