🎙️ Episode Recap

The Manson Family Exposed (PBP23): Cult Classics Series

This week, we continued our Cult Classics series with a haunting look at the Manson Family. The tragedy, manipulation, and darkness surrounding this group still offers chilling lessons for today.

🧠 What We Learned This Week

This week’s episode brought both personal and historical reflection. Key takeaways include:

• Paul Jr. and his family (wife, two daughters, and two dogs!) are relocating to Washington State! The journey is intense, but the family is adapting and looking forward to a new recording setup.

• The Manson Family case is a sobering reminder to exercise discernment and critical thinking, especially when confronted with charismatic figures. This extends to every area of life — walk with God and seek truth.

• Our guest’s opinions are their own and don’t necessarily reflect those of Pastor Paul Begley or the podcast. We believe in education through dialogue and welcome open minds.

• 🙌 Help us hit our new goal: 5,000 YouTube subscribers! We're on our way—Subscribe Here
