Behind the facade of a religious community, lies a story of manipulation, mind control, and tragedy. Let's investigate the secrets, the power, and the psychological grip of the Word of Life Church – a story of religious devotion taken to the extreme.   Welcome to another episode of The Unlovely Truth. I'm your host, private investigator Lori Morrison. Join me for another captivating true crime story, where physical, spiritual, and emotional safety takeaways are waiting for us. If you are listening, I believe you have a unique calling—to become a different kind of PI, not a typical private investigator, but a person of impact!   This is Season 4, Episode 43. Our book this week is Broken Faith: Inside One of America's Most Dangerous Cults  by Mitch Weiss and Holbrook Mohr. Our guest this week is Lori Prather, our chaplain here at The Unlovely Truth. Get ready for an eye-opening journey into the heart of the Word of Life Church– a story that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and make your question your  own susceptibility to be manipulated.   This is one of the most disturbing instances of what I considered spiritual abuse and physical abuse in a church setting that I've ever come across. A church movement that started in 1979 and still exists today has many critics and many who would defend it with their lives. Though written as an expose, I believe this book also serves as a cautionary tale of sorts. It may be hard for some of us to accept that people can proclaim to be godly, then turn around and be horribly abusive. But it does happen. That's why Jesus says this in Matthew 7:15 -  Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. We will look at what else He says about how to recognize these false prophets.   Matthew 7:15-20 NLT   Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit.  So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.  Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.   This passage of scripture is so straightforward and so practical and it calls us all to practice what security experts often call situational awareness. Jesus is instructing his disciples on how to know who in ministry is authentic, and who is not. He knew we would deal with situations like this and He told us exactly what to do! We have to embrace this as part of our calling. If we look closely at this passage, we can see that Jesus gave us a simple three step process.    First we have to be willing to accept the fact that there will be false prophets trying to exert influence in our churches and ministries. Jesus doesn't say we might encounter them, He states that they will come. We are instructed to be on the lookout.   Second, we must look objectively at a person's actions. Trees produce fruit, and people produce actions. If someone produces bad actions, they are not a harmless sheep but are really a vicious wolf.   Third, Once we identify these bad actions, we have to deal with them. No - we aren't going to throw anyone in the fire, don't do that. But we may need to have that person step down from a leadership position or even remove them from our midst.   I know that sounds harsh, but I didn't come up with this, God did. The integrity of our churches and our ministries is too important to handle wolves in sheep's clothing any differently.

This is a historic election. For the first time in history, Boston will have a mayor who is a person of color. With six candidates and an open seat following Mayor Walsh’s departure to Washington D.C., there’s a lot to cover, and we’ll be diving in over the next six weeks with each of the candidates about everything from education, to economic development, to racial justice, to their favorite coffee shops and restaurants in Boston, and more. In this first episode, we are joined by Boston City Councilor Michelle Wu, who has served as an at-large member of the council since being elected in 2013.

The Financial Chick - Business of Broadway with Mitch Weiss & Stanley Harrison 4-23-21 by JVC Broadcasting

What was that strange voice? It seemed to come from the rock I'm siting against! If it's the voice of the rock, what will it say? Ah! Therein lies the story.

Mitch Weiss, Professor at Harvard Business School and author of We the Possibility: Harnessing Public Entrepreneurship to Solve Our Most Urgent Problems, shares his experience working in public office and using entrepreneurial thinking to solve significant problems.  Mitch recounts his story during the fatal Boston Marathon Bombings. He was Chief-of-Staff to Boston's mayor, Thomas Menino, at the time, and was responsible for implementing an innovative initiative to aid victims and direct funds to them efficiently.  He also unpacks Public Entrepreneurship, a relatively novel concept, and stresses that governments need to emulate what works in the private sector and apply it to the public sector. To conclude the episode, Patrick and Mitch discuss examples of countries that have successfully implemented entrepreneurial thinking in public problems; and share practical ideas on how you too can get involved, contribute, and help make a change.

Nature holds a language just as we as humanity hold languages. Each of these stories connects to some part of nature - from including lines of French, Spanish and English, to talking about the birds and turtles and the languages of plants. There are always things we can learn from these wonderful creatures of nature. And if we stop and listen, perhaps we'll be able to hear them whisper to us. In this episode you'll hear stories of all of these things and more, so stop and listen and maybe these stories can give you clues into what nature sounds like.   On today's episode, enjoy the following:“The Gift“ by Michael Katz from Far Away and Close to Home: Magical and Mystical tales from Around the World (9:18)In this story the sun disappears after being forgotten by the people of earth. And the people then try singing to the sun with musicians to make him happy and bring him back. Will it work? Well, that's the story. And it's a bilingual adventure that you're sure to love.  “Kanzo's Garden” by Lyn Ford from When the Gourd Broke Common Sense Stories (14:50)In this story you'll meet Kanzo, an extraordinarily gifted gardener, who is also very greedy. He builds a high fence to keep creatures out, even down to the smallest beetle. The story is about how the animals and birds try to make a plan to get some food from Kanzo's garden.  “Moon and Sun” by Sean K. Buvala from Calling Out The Rising Sun: Stories for Teenage Guys (2:15)This is a short tale about the jealousy that exists between the moon and the sun. Jealousy because, after all, in this story the moon and the sun are siblings.  “Thunder and Lightning” by Martha Hamilton with Mitch Weiss from How & Why Stories World Tales Kids Can Tell (2:46)This is a story called "Thunder and Lightning". Did you know that thunder and lightning were a ram and a sheep? Well, that's what this story says. And here's Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss.  “Clytie” by Martha Hamilton with Mitch Weiss from Stories in My Pocket Tales Kids Can Tell (3:34)Martha sticks around to tell us a greek myth. The story of "Clytie", a girl who couldn't stop staring at the sun.  “Wood & Nails” by Michael Reno Harrell from Tales and Tunes (5:28)Now we're going to hear from Michael Reno Harrell. This is a little tale and tune about a rainstorm and a house. This was recorded live during a house concert for friends.  “The Tale of Shadow and Light” by Barry Stewart Mann from The Improbably Love of Ethel and Elmer and Other Offbeat Tales of Romance (2:30)Up next is Barry Stewart Mann with a story about the once wonderful friendship between shadow and light.   “Talking With The Lights On” by Donald Davis from A Room of My Own (7:09)A lot of the stories we brought you this hour have to do with lessons learned from nature: thunder and lighning, the sun and the moon, shadow and light. We thought we'd bring you one more lesson story. This one a lesson learned from playing in the Junior High band, and it's from "The Dean", Donald Davis. 

Happy Thanksgiving from The Apple Seed! Wherever you're gathering this year we hope you'll take an opportunity to not only give thanks for the blessings in your life, but that you'll also share memories with or about the people that you love. And we'll provide the stories to help spark those memories. So put together a plate of turkey, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie, and an etrog, and get ready for stories from Bruce Walker, Bill Harley, Linda Goodman, Kevin Kling, and Martha Hamilton.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:"Pie Made of Pumpkin" by Bruce Walker from Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts (3:57) If you're looking to bake your favorite pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving but can't track down the recipe card, here's what you do: just memorize this song from Bruce Walker which is basically step-by-step directions on how to make this festive dessert.  "Yeast Rolls" by Bill Harley from Nothing For Granted (9:27)We're going to move from that food song to a food story from Apple Seed-favorite, Bill Harley. Have you ever been guilty of eating too much of a beloved side dish? How about the entire side dish? No judgment here, especially if it's something as good as yeast rolls.  "I Need An Etrog" by Linda Goodman from Pass It On: A Journey Through the Jewish Holidays in Story and Song (8:31)If you were to ask someone 'What does Thanksgiving mean to you?', they might mention something about the food. But really at the heart of this holiday is gathering, being together with people you love. That will certainly ring true with this next story. And although it's not about Thanksgiving (it takes place during the Jewish holiday of Sukkoth) the elements are the same. Sometimes we focus too much on securing particular food items for our feast that we lose sight of what's really important.  "Harvest" by Kevin Kling from Wonderlure! (6:20)What starts out as a humurous story about young Kevin Kling's reluctance to slaughter pigs that he's named turns into a rather sweet memory of Kevin's grandmother.  "Why Anansi Has a Small Waist" by Martha Hamilton (with Mitch Weiss) from Stories in My Pocket Tales Kids Can Tell (3:15)Ever wonder why spiders have small waists? You're going to find out in this story about Anansi, the 'Trickster', who, when she doesn't receive an invitation to either of the local village's harvest festivals, devises a plan to find out when and where they will occur, that also includes attending both.

Wrath…Jane Whaley’s deadliest sin, can be described as, the uncontrolled hatred for someone or something, and the unquenchable desire to exact revenge on said object/person. Sure, that definition might make sense if the wrathful person is responding to someone harming or even killing their loved one. But where in the hell did Jane Whaley’s wrath come from?  Because she directed her wrath fueled fury on the most naive and faultless, children who simply laughed, babies who naturally cried, and adults who were just trying to get by in their day to day lives. Currently, Jane Whaley, is 80 years old. She’s flashy. She frames her angry face with hair that seems almost purposely shaped into bold parenthesis meant to emphasize her anger.  Two large aqua-netted curls that look like they were formed by hot rollers the size of a Costco sized coffee can. She wears St John suits tons of jewelry and looks like a 1980s poster woman for the working gals movement.  But she is not the head of Redbook magazine, or the CEO of Sears, she is an evangelical oppressor with no formal theological training, just the incessant need to manipulate and control people to fill the void of what would have been an average existence.  Shudder is your go to for everything spooky!

What do you think of when you hear the word clever? Do you think of the sly fox outwitting the crow in Aesop's fables? How about Odysseus tricking the cyclops Polyphemus? Maybe you think of someone you know who always seems to twist things to their favor. Whatever it is, it's clear that being clever can be used for both good and evil. Sometimes, however, being clever doesn't turn out the way you think. Today's stories are all about being clever. From prideful mice to vengeful cannibals, we'll hear a wide range of what being clever can look like. We'll also be able to see what the consequences are when being clever backfires. We'll have the pleasure of hearing from Ingrid Nixon, Cindy Rivka Marshall, Martha Hamilton, Willy Claflin, and Tim Lowry.  On Today's episode, enjoy the following:Story Spotlight:- “The Three Snake-leaves” by Ingrid Nixon, from Grimm's with a Twist (11:26)Storytime pieces:- “The Magic Pomegranate Seed” by Cindy Rivka Marshall, from By the River – Women's Voices in Jewish Stories (8:57)- “How Brazilian Beetles Got Their Gorgeous Coats” by Martha Hamilton with Mitch Weiss, from How & Why Stories World Tales Kids Can Tell (2:58)- “Lion and Mousie” by Willy Claflin from Goat Whisperer (4:05)- “Mutsmeg” by Tim Lowry from Getting the Creeps (14:54)-      "Silly Jack" by Ed Stivender
