The Phantom Conference: A Misleading Pilgrimage to Saddleback

Burning Butterflies

Chapter 3, Episode 9

In this eye-opening episode, the ladies unravel the curious tale of Tom's grand plan to indoctrinate Pastor Young Gun by taking him and a dozen others on a transformative journey "Mother Land," a conference at Saddleback Church led by none other than Rick Warren himself. But there’s a twist: the conference never existed. Rick Warren wasn’t even in the country.

So, where did the church's money go? And how did Tom manage to manipulate this trip to mold not only Young Gun but also the cherry picked group of up-and-coming leaders within the church? Join us as we expose the truth behind this deceptive scheme, shedding light on the lengths some will go to maintain control and power, all while leaving their congregation in the dark.
