    19: The Kirtland Cult Murders: Jeffrey Lundgren
    May 30 2025
    🎙️ EPISODE TITLE:
    The Kirtland Cult Murders: Jeffrey Lundgren and the Tree of Life Delusion

    📚 EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
    In this haunting episode of Heinous Beliefs, we unravel the chilling true story of Jeffrey Lundgren, a self-proclaimed prophet who manipulated scripture, twisted doctrine, and led a group of devout believers into committing one of the most horrifying cult murders in American history.

    Lundgren’s teachings weren’t just off-base they were calculated. Backed by his warped interpretation of RLDS doctrine and a made-up method he called “Dividing the Word,” he convinced his followers that murdering an entire family the Averys, including five innocent children was not only necessary but commanded by God.

    • Jeffrey Lundgren’s abusive upbringing, religious obsession, and mental unraveling

    • How a Bible tour guide became a deadly cult leader in rural Ohio

    • The heartbreaking backstory of the Avery family and how their faith led them straight into danger

    • The twisted belief system that justified execution-style murders

    • How obedience and isolation fueled a silent group willing to sacrifice their morals

    • The forensic horror uncovered in a shallow grave beneath a barn

    • Lundgren’s disturbing lack of remorse and his final moments on death row

    • A psychological breakdown of cult leadership and how spiritual abuse destroys lives

    • And a powerful closing reflection on belief, freedom, and the cost of giving your mind away

    This case is more than just murder it’s a wake-up call on how twisted theology, blind faith, and unchecked power can become a lethal cocktail.

    18: “The Ugandan Doomsday Cult ; Commandments of God”
    May 23 2025
    “The Ugandan Doomsday Cult: The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God”

    What happens when belief turns into blind obedience—and obedience turns deadly?

    In this episode of Heinous Beliefs, we head to Uganda to break down one of the most disturbing cult stories the world has ever seen. The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God promised salvation… but delivered death. Over 500 people—including children—were locked inside a church and set on fire, while others were poisoned, stabbed, or buried in mass graves across multiple districts.

    This episode explores:

    • The dark rise of cult leaders Joseph Kibwetere and Credonia Mwerinde

    • How apocalyptic fear and twisted interpretations of the Ten Commandments fueled total obedience

    • The psychological control tactics used to silence followers and break their independence

    • What really happened on March 17, 2000—the feast, the fire, and the betrayal

    • The investigation that uncovered mass graves, chemical accelerants, and a premeditated mass murder

    • Why no one has ever been brought to justice

    This isn’t just a story about religion gone wrong. It’s about power, control, and the dangers of unchecked belief.

    ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING
    This episode includes discussion of mass death, cult indoctrination, manipulation, and violence against women and children. Please listen with care.
