The Brethren: Have You Seen Them?
from Wine Not Talk About It? · host Ashley Cannard
They don’t live anywhere. They don’t own anything. They don’t use phones, see doctors, or stay in one place for very long. The Brethren are a nomadic, off-the-grid Christian cult that’s been wandering across the United States for decades — barefoot, quiet, and somehow hiding in plain sight.In this episode, we unpack the unsettling world of The Brethren: how they recruit without force, why they cut off family and medical care, what daily life looks like when you’re constantly on the move, and how a group this secretive has managed to survive for over 50 years. Creepy, fascinating, and deeply unsettling — this is one cult you might’ve walked past without even realizing it.This episode is sponsored by Moment — check them out here or on our website at winenotpod.com.
