We’re sittin’ down with Jinger Duggar Vuolo—yeah, that Jinger from ‘19 Kids and Counting.’ But trust me, her story goes way deeper than anything you saw on TV. She gets real about growing up in a fear-based system under Bill Gothard, the pressure of perfection, and what it’s like to break free while under a cult-like religious system.

Paralyzed Stroke Survivor Says THIS Is What True Healing Looks Like

I sat down with Carl Lentz in an unfiltered conversation about his rise, his “fall” and what comes next.

No pre-packaged answers, no PR spin—just a man who’s been through the fire and lived to tell the story.

We talk about:

🔥 The pressure of leading Hillsong NYC and how it all unraveled

🔥 What real repentance and accountability look like after public failure

🔥 The dark side of church culture, leadership, and ‘celebrity pastors’

A lot of people have opinions about Carl, but few have actually heard him speak for himself. This is that chance.
