10: Illuminati! The Podcast Episode

Amber's at it again talking about the Supreme Court justices that voted to overturn Roe v Wade. This week - Amy Coney Barrett (and the People of Praise). Amy gets her own episode because Amber found out she's linked to a group that has a questionable history, to say the least. This episode covers Amy as well as People of Praise, a "charismatic Christian community" based in South Bend, Indiana. The real question is, is People of Praise a community, or a cult?
