38. How To Market Your Cult (and Church) - Ravel

What this episode covers

With defining cults and NRMs out of the way, Josh wants to dig into the theology of some groups and how they splinter from Christianity. What starts as a conversation around our preconceptions of cults as charismatic or fantastical turns into how cults (and churches) define and broadcast their beliefs for marketing purposes. Is it helpful to be ultra defined in every belief up front or leave things nebulous to newcomers?Mentioned in the episode: Conspirituality PodcastChristian Countercult Movement WikiMatthew 28:16-20 - The Great Commissionchurchclarity.orgFollow the hosts on Twitter: Josh: @joshlieuallenEmily: @RevRettinghouseStephen: @stephenghenningJoin our community at patreon.com/ravelpod!
