The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One With Dr. Ayomide Adebayo - On A Deep Exploration of Korean Cults
Just like Korean entertainment, Korean cults are beginning to have a global reach. So much so that I almost got recruited into one, unknowingly! However, these organizations bear semblance with Christianity, thus making it difficult to decipher their ulterior motives at first glance. Hence the name fringe churches To discuss this alarming issue is one of my mentors and fellow geek, Ayomide Adebayo, aka Doc Ayomide.
Doc Ayomide is a writer and psychiatrist who’s spent over a decade thinking, writing, and speaking about what it means to be human through the lenses of behavioral psychology, culture, and faith. He has been featured on various Nigerian radio and TV stations, international media, including HuffPost, and invited to speak at a TEDx.
In this episode, Doc Ayomide and I talked about why cults exist, their characteristics, the profile of likely victims, and why Koreans especially are susceptible to these organizations. He also differentiated between Christianity and cults, and from his professional experience, advised on how best to support cult victims and preventive measures for non-members.
I shared my experience of being almost recruited into one of these Korean cults; listen to get the full details.
