Trigger Warning: sexual assault, rape, trauma, and cult-related discourse.

Please take care of yourself while watching. This is a heavy and emotionally charged conversation.

Welcome back to another episode of The Things You Can't Touch !

In this video, I sit down with Leah Lauder, a megachurch cult survivor and mental health advocate you might know from TikTok. Leah brings invaluable insight from her lived experience and knowledge of cult dynamics as we discuss some very difficult, yet necessary, topics.

We talk about the recent allegations against Stepz, the disturbing way some are defending him through the lens of Christianity, and how this ties into wider patterns of abuse and control within high-control religious groups. Leah also helps unpack how cult leaders place themselves equal to, or even above, God, creating environments where manipulation and harm can thrive unchecked.

This is not an easy conversation, but it is an important one. If you have experienced any form of abuse, please consider whether now is the right time to watch. Your wellbeing comes first.

We should keep shining a light on these issues and hold space for survivors. Follow our conversation here:
