Anna and Mark discuss Gwen Shamblin Lara's Remnant Fellowship on this weeks episode.  Due to the recent tragedy, they felt it was right to skip ahead in their timeline to give the info on this current group.  Gwen's first successful endeavor, The Weigh Down Workshop, was started in 1986 and quickly took Christian churches by storm.  This weight loss for Jesus movement inspired her to take it one step further and she developed a behavior-driven gospel movement that will become the Remnant Fellowship.  Get all the details as well as the tragic end to this story that took place in May 2021.  Thanks for supporting the pod and remember, don't drink the kool-aid.
