Leaving Eden Podcast

An Ex-Fundie, Deconstruction, and Cult podcast as told by cult survivor Sadie Carpenter, with her co-host Gavi HaCohen. This podcast covers Sadie's cult, (The Independent Fundamental Baptist church), other cults, (including Jonestown and the Branch Davidians), cult-related media (including reality TV shows and documentaries like The Duggars/19 Kids and Counting, Shiny Happy People, Welcome to Plathville, and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City), famous fundamentalist and fundie influencers, other religions, and the real and present threat that cults and cult ideologies pose to society as a whole. Our goal is to promote freedom of mind, freedom of thought, and freedom of religion.

Sadie Carpenter

Cult Expert Sadie Carpenter is a new mom and podcast host living in Portland, Oregon. She spent the first twenty years of her life in the Independent Fundamental Baptist cult group, and then began the process of re-learning almost everything she had been taught. Her endless curiosity as she dove into the history, theology, and practices of the cult that raised her led her to start the Leaving Eden Podcast, where she explores this cult and other cults in an attempt to understand the forces that influenced the first twenty years of her life.

Gavi HaCohen

Cult Researcher Gavri'el HaCohen is from Portland, Oregon. Unlike Sadie, he was not raised in a cult, but was raised in a mostly secular Jewish household. His first exposure to christian fundamentalism came over the course of his friendship with Sadie and their podcast together. His outsider's perspective on an isolated upbringing allows a different lens through which to explore cults and cult teachings.
