Reconstructing Faith After Cult Life | Sarabeth Kapusta

Play Icon

🎙️ In this episode of the Acts Social Podcast, we're joined by Sarabeth Kapusta, host of Reconstructing Your Faith, as she shares her powerful testimony of breaking free from a cult disguised as a Baptist church and rebuilding her faith after enduring deep spiritual abuse.

Sarabeth opens up about the emotional, financial, and spiritual manipulation she experienced and how it shaped—and distorted—her early view of God. She walks us through her season of deconstruction, her pursuit of truth in scripture, and her commitment to creating safe, grace-filled spaces for others navigating church hurt.

This conversation is raw, redemptive, and filled with hope for anyone who's ever wrestled with their beliefs or felt isolated on their faith journey.
