At just 11 years old, Lindsay Tornambe’s family left Pennsylvania for what they thought was a Bible-based camp in rural Minnesota. But the “camp” was actually the home of a self-proclaimed prophet named Victor, whose control and manipulation would lead to years of trauma, spiritual abuse, and fear.

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, host Josh Doyle and his brother Tommy sit down with Lindsay to hear how she was given away as a “maiden” at just 12 years old—and how she found the strength to escape, expose the truth, and rebuild her life in faith and freedom.

This is one of the most powerful and harrowing survivor stories we’ve ever shared. Lindsay’s courage, honesty, and deep belief in God will move you, challenge you, and remind you of the power of redemption.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of child abuse, cult manipulation, and sexual assault. Listener discretion advised.

Award-winning journalist and true crime podcaster Delia D’Ambra (host of Park Predators and CounterClock) returns to No Longer Nomads for a gripping Halloween special.

In this episode, Delia opens up about the real-life encounters that shaped her career—from eerie early experiences that foreshadowed tragedy, to near-death moments while reporting in the field, to the shocking death of a source just hours before they were scheduled to meet. Through every story, Delia reflects on fear, intuition, justice, and the importance of faith amid darkness.

Josh and Eric guide the conversation through true crime’s most haunting realities and spiritual questions:

- How do you find hope when you spend your life covering tragedy?

- What does it mean to follow your gut instinct—and when should you trust it?

- How can faith bring light into some of the darkest human stories?

If you love shows like Dateline, 48 Hours, or Crime Junkie—but also crave deeper reflection about humanity and faith—you won’t want to miss this conversation.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Brother Rashid, a former Muslim from Morocco who risked everything to follow Jesus. From being rejected by his family at 17 and surviving years of homelessness on the streets of Casablanca, to finding hope in the underground Moroccan church and now leading a global media ministry reaching millions, his story is a testament to the cost and courage of following Christ.

Rashid shares how a late-night radio broadcast first challenged his beliefs, the difficult journey of questioning Islam, and the life-changing moment he encountered the gospel. We explore the persecution Christians face in Muslim-majority countries, the role of the underground church, and the power of using modern media to share truth in closed nations.

If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to count the cost of discipleship or how to share the gospel with Muslims in a way that balances truth and love, this conversation will inspire and equip you.
