Welcome to the first installment of a multi-part series where we delve into the troubling case surrounding Nathan Schultz, the son of former principal and school director Ken Schultz, who faced charges in 2023. In this episode, we'll hear from a few of the numerous victims who have been impacted by Nathan's actions and the power dynamics at play. CBC's article was released in September 2022, shedding light on the experiences of former victims. However, as we'll soon come to understand, what was revealed is merely the beginning of a much larger and deeply troubling story. Join us as we navigate through the layers of this complex case, amplifying the voices of survivors and uncovering the far-reaching implications of these traumatic events.

In part 2 of this episode, Coy joins us to talk addiction, recovery, and the deeply inconvenient reality that staying sober actually requires effort every single day. No inspirational mountain-top guru nonsense, just a raw conversation about screwing up, climbing back out of it, and trying not to light your own life on fire again before breakfast. Trauma and addiction go hand in hand. It's one thing to survive a traumatic childhood. It's another thing entirely to survive adulthood when nobody hands you a manual for how to cope with the damage afterward.

Not everything that glitters is gold. People often wonder: How does someone end up at Christian Centre anyway? In this episode, we sit down with a former parent and congregant, Jackie, who once brought her family into the church and enrolled her children in the school. She shares her firsthand experience as an adult navigating the community, what initially attracted her, and what she learned after getting a closer look behind the curtain.
In this episode, we speak with Jude and Mike, a couple whose journey through three high‑control Christian communities began with the charismatic Light of the World movement and led them into the covenant‑based structure of People of Praise. They describe communal living, financial surrender, strict headship hierarchies, and the pressure to shape every major life decision - dating, housing, work - around spiritual authority. Their story reveals how seemingly vibrant renewal movements can slide into systems of control, shunning, and expectations of obedience. As Jude and Mike recount the move of more than 100 members to Saskatoon and the painful realization that the community they joined didn't want them, listeners see early patterns that would later intensify inside Saskatoon Christian Center.
This week we're diving into the wild story of Donald Howard, the man behind Accelerated Christian Education, also known as the curriculum that tried to teach generations of kids that dinosaurs and humans hung out together like it was a prehistoric group project. We break down the doctrine, the beliefs, and the very creative version of science and history baked into the program that spread through Christian schools around the world. Then we ask the obvious question: what actually happened to the guy who built the whole thing? Because when you start pulling on that thread, the story gets… let's just say biblically messy.
