Episode 277: Word Of Life Cult And The Murder of Lucas Leonard

The Word of Life Christian Church began as a tiny bible study led by self proclaimed prophet, Jerry Irwin. Eventually the bible study progressed into a fully fledged cult with around 80 members at its peak. When the paranoid and power-hungry Jerry Irwin suddenly died, his eldest daughter Tiffanie took his place. As the leader, Tiffanie subjected the group to extreme isolation, control, and abuse which ultimately would result in the brutal murder of 19-year-old Lucas Leonard.Check out the Steph Today Youtube Channel! --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIrWAcmMAZk
