    Once known as the Children of God, The Family International began as a 1960s counterculture movement promising love, freedom, and a new way of life. But behind the music and missionary work was a dark legacy of manipulation, control, and widespread abuse. In this episode, we trace the rise of The Family from its hippie-era beginnings to its global spread, and examine how its teachings shattered lives across generations. This is the story of how an idealistic message became a nightmare for many who were born into it.Part 1 – Roots of the Revolution: The Making of David BergPart 2 – Kingdom Come: Expansion, Evangelism, and the Rise of Flirty FishingPart 3 – Cracks in the Sanctuary: Dissent, Exposure, and the Limits of ObediencePart 4 – The Shadow of the Prophet: Karen Zerby, Rebranding, and the Digital ExodusPart 5 – Aftermath: Survivors, Reckoning, and the Long Road to RecoveryPart 6 – The Quiet End: Legacy, Denial, and the Long FadeFrom silent compounds to subway attacks, from charismatic prophets to catastrophic ends, Hidden Cults is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.
