Description
Welcome to Our Journey, the podcast where you hear from those affected by GO Ministries International: the good, the bad, and the downright cult-like. Along with our host, Mercedes, we will be listening to true stories from past interns and leaders of GO Ministries International as well as their family members and loved ones affected by their life in this ministry. As of October 2020, GO Ministries International is still operating out of Shreveport, Louisiana and is run by Josh and Laci Bredahl and Steve and Becky Munds. They are still accepting young adults to their 24/7 internship where, according to their mission statement, they "train up seekers and pursuers of God's heart through the revelation of His Word and the power of His Spirit, so that the message of the Gospel can be effectively preached around the world and the spirit of revival can ignite in every believers heart." But is that really what happens at the internship? Decide for yourself as you listen to Our Journey.

Victoria
2021/11/23
Victoria was an intern for one year from 2014-2015. She was part of GO during the same time as some of our previous guests including Shelbie, Christina, and Carissa.
Victoria is so well spoken and articulates things that I think some of us have struggled to put into words.
She also shares her experience as a woman of color and the racism she encountered.

Kelsey
2021/11/09
Kelsey was an intern from 2010-2012. Her second year she was on probation for 7 months for having a "lesbian spirit". Her episode is really raw and we get to process with her how the things that happened at GO Ministries Intl affected her even after leaving.

Josh and Krista
2021/10/12
Josh and Krista are a married couple that dated before, during, and after their time in GO Ministries. Josh did a podcast episode that released last December and I recommend going back and listening to it if you haven't already because we do refer to some details he shared in that podcast. This episode really shows how the rules in GO really toyed with peoples lives.
Sarah
2021/09/28
Sarah was a GMI Intern from 2012-2014, their first years in Louisiana. She is a Type 1 diabetic which means her pancreas doesn't make enough insulin. During the internship she was put in multiple dangerous situations, at least one of which caused complications with her diabetes and put her near death.

Carissa 2.0
2021/09/14
That's right, 2.0!! This is episode is different from our usual format. As our first repeat guest, Carissa comes on to discuss Combatting Cult Mind Control by Steven Hassan. We discuss what makes a cult, how GO Ministries International qualifies as a cult, and how we are processing all of this.
Carissa was an intern from 2011-2014 and then a volunteer/staff from 2016 until being kicked out in 2017.
Carissa and our host, Mercedes, joined GMI the same year.

Nate
2021/08/31
Although Nate and I attended GO Ministries for two of the same years, we never really knew each other. His story is unique for multiple reasons. In this episode you'll hear him talk about his experience at GO while being on the Autism Spectrum, his experience in two different cults, and his stories of sexual assault and bullying. Don't worry, it's not all serious. He has some comical stories to share as well!
Shelina
2021/08/17
I know it's been a while but WE ARE BACK with more stories of Our Journey in a cult called GO Ministries International.
We kick off this season of new stories with one of the sweetest women I know, Shelina. You will hear lots of giggling in this episode as it really just felt like two friends getting together and talking things out, which is exactly as it should be.
Come back every other Tuesday for new episodes and visit our website for more info: www.OurJourneyPodcast.com
Jade
2021/02/20
Jade was my roommate for a while my first year at GO Ministries. You'll hear me cry during the intro because after listening to this podcast I realized that because we both had to hide who we really were in order to fit the GO mold, we spent so much time together and never really knew each other.
This session is heartbreaking because Jade is genuinely one of the sweetest people I know, and she was treated so poorly by GO Ministries leadership that it still has lasting effects a decade later.
Anonymous
2021/02/11
This is our first anonymous podcast. There’s many reasons that someone might want to do an anonymous podcast, and at the beginning she explains her own reasonings. No matter if a name is attached or not, I think it is incredibly brave for someone to share their journey on a public podcast.
Our guest today was in GO Ministries for one year, Josh and Laci’s first year in leadership. It is hard to fathom some of the stuff that interns were made to do.
As always, please take care while listening.
Carissa
2021/02/04
Today we will be hearing from Carissa. She joined GO Ministries the same year I did. Her story is extremely unique for many reasons, one being that she interned for 3 years, graduated and moved to Brazil to do mission work, then later came back to help the ministry as a “volunteer” and eventual staff member before being kicked out. She’s very open and honest with us about her journey and I am so thankful that she was willing to share her wild ride us.
Josh L.
2020/12/31
In this episode we hear from Josh L (not to be confused with Josh Bredahl who runs the ministry). He was an intern and staff member for a total of 4 years and left just a year before I joined. What's crazy is that as an intern, I didn't know about him even though he wrote a lot of the skits we learned.
Josh's episode is unique because he tells us what it felt like to be a leader and the inner conflict that I believe a lot of the leaders must have dealt with.
He also gets real with us while talking about difficulties after leaving GO Ministries International. I'm so thankful he shared his journey!
