b'Season 3: The Prophet - Word of Faith Fellowship Revisited\\nI\\u2019m back with a whole new season of Pretend Radio. But this time it\\u2019s going to be a little different. Instead of telling you a different story each episode, I decided to do a serialize season where I tell you a single story, one episode at a time. So what is it about? It\\u2019s about the first episode I aired on this show\\u2014the Word of Faith Fellowship church.\\nBack in season one, I met up with a man who says he escaped the cult. His name is John Cooper. I contacted him and asked "Hey, do you want to meet up? I\\u2019m thinking about starting a podcast and would like to tell your story."\\nSo, we just met up at a park in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. At this point, I didn\\u2019t know what this podcast was all about. All I knew was that he was part of a religious sect. And what he told me that day in that park blew my mind. But in the end, I feel like I didn\\u2019t do that story justice. It was one guy\\u2019s story. I needed to go out to the other side of the state, where the Word of Faith Fellowship is located, and do a little more digging. So, I got in my car and drove west. After I spending the whole day in Spindale, North Carolina, I thought to myself, there is no way I keep everything I just learned in one episode.\\nIf season one was about John cooper, season 3 is all about the town of Spindale.\\nThe episode you\\u2019re about to listen to is my first 3 episodes rolled into one. And I\\u2019m going to stitch them together by playing some ads for some non-profits organizations. And at the end of the episode there\\u2019s a preview of the new season.\\nNow many of you have already heard this story, but trust me, even I had to go back and listen to these episodes. Once the season starts, I\\u2019m not going to spend a lot setting things up. We\\u2019re just going to get right to it.\\nIf you\\u2019re new to Pretend Radio, well this is a great place to start.\\nLet me tell you, it\\u2019s pretty crazy. I got deeper into this story than any other journalist. The BBC has tried and failed. The Associated Press tried and they couldn\\u2019t get in. Even A&E is producing a documentary on the WOFF and they didn\\u2019t get the access I got.\\n\\xa0\\nSo enjoy this flashback episode and revisit The Prophet from season one. And get ready for the season because it\\u2019s coming out very soon.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices'
