The Way Back: Gina Wilson On Faith After The Way Down

Published: May 2, 2022, 6:30 a.m.

If you\u2019re familiar with \u2018The Way Down\u2019, the HBO Docuseries that chronicles the rise and fall of conservative Christian diet guru Gwen Shamblin (Lara), who died in a plane crash in May of 2021, you may remember today\u2019s guest: Gina Wilson. As a devoted member of the Remnant Fellowship, the Brentwood Tennessee church founded by the big-haired, charismatic Shamblin, Gina spent over a decade inside the group as a part of the music ministry team and as a poster child of sorts for the church\u2019s \u2018Weigh Down\u2019 diet method and weight loss empire. Gina joins us to talk in-depth about her experience in the church, the collateral damage to her family unit, and how she ultimately escaped Shamblin\u2019s clutches. She also shares how her faith has only deepened now that she\u2019s free from the Remnant Fellowship, and how she\u2019s coming back from years of spiritual abuse. The Way Down \xa0Season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max.\xa0
