Jason Preston brings together a powerful panel of young voices who believe the real battle facing our world goes far beyond politics. Joined by River from Deconstructing Darkness, Bryson Butt, and William (Latter-Day Chad) from Zion Media, the conversation explores faith, personal awakening, generational responsibility, and the growing realization that the struggle we’re facing is not left versus right—but truth versus deception, light versus darkness.

This episode takes a closer look at how cult-like thinking and systems of control can form within political movements, religious spaces, and everyday communities across Utah. The discussion explores common warning signs, psychological manipulation, and the subtle ways ideology can override critical thinking and personal freedom. Referencing ideas frequently examined by James Lindsay, the episode connects belief, power, and social influence to show how cult dynamics often hide in plain sight, challenging listeners to rethink what a cult really looks like in modern society.
