Former Cult Insider: Inside The Dark World Of “Love Has Won” | Andrew-Ryan Profaci | EP 43 Ryan Lochte [hEhzfbu2gux]

Andrew-Ryan Profaci thought he found spiritual truth, but instead became entangled in the bizarre world of a modern cult known as Love Has Won. Driven by curiosity and a deep desire for meaning, Andrew-Ryan quickly rose from outsider to insider, witnessing firsthand the manipulation tactics of cult leader Amy Carlson, referred to by members as Mother God, whom he once cared for deeply.

In this raw and honest conversation, we talk about:

- What initially drew Andrew to the cult known as "Love Has Won."

- A vivid portrayal of daily life within the cult.

- The leaderships layered control tactics and massive financial exploitation.

- An individual who secretly orchestrated starmer news and controlled the cult behind the scenes.

- What really happened before and directly after Amy Carlsons death, and why Andrew now speaks out.

Thank you for listening.

Were working on resolving it as quickly as possible. Thank you for listening regardless, and my sincere apologies for the issue.
