In Episode 35 of The Cult Next Door Podcast, titled "Intense Gaze," Blake Moorer continues his gripping account of life within Crusade Church in this second installment of a three-part series. As "The Love Move" gained momentum, Blake details the Pastor's ever watchful eye and intense gaze, which grew more unsettling as the movement progressed. Initially, the cult leader assured members that they need not worry because the "fiery arrow" from the Lord would strike them with God's pure love. However, as "The Love Move" began to falter, the leader's demeanor shifted dramatically. Blake recounts how the Pastor turned on congregants, blaming them for the movement's failure and intensifying the atmosphere of fear and control. This episode offers a compelling and chilling exploration of the cult leader's manipulative tactics and the increasing pressure placed on church members as the dream of "The Love Move" unraveled. #cults #truecrime #podcast #crimepodcast #cultstories #mystery #investigativejournalism #mindcontrol #psychologicalmanipulation #cultleaders #escapefromcults #cultsurvivorstories #brainwashing #religiouscults #darksecrets #dangerousgroups #reallifecults #cultexperiences #deprogramming #cultrecovery
