“If you were ever influenced by Keith Green’s music and/or the ministry he started with his wife Melody, Last Days Ministries, you probably think of Keith as a prophet, a visionary, a life cut too short. His idealism shone through his lyrics and writings and left you with both guilt at falling short of his challenge and admiration for setting such a high bar.
In retrospect, it really was all too good to be true.
This isn’t a podcast about sexual deviancy, suicide pacts, large weapons caches, etc. But it is a revealing insight into the inner workings of what can only be called a cult. Sleep deprivation, arranged marriages, purity culture, public confessions, etc. High control. Toxicity.
Keith became a Christian at 22, released his first Christian album at 23, was at or near the top of the charts for a few years, and then died at 29. An outsized influence for his age and immaturity.
The details of daily life inside LDM is eye-opening and revealing. It is cathartic and told with compassion and sincerity. I’m here for all of it.”
