In this deeply moving episode, Lydia shares the reality of fleeing her country because of religious persecution — leaving behind familiarity, stability, and safety simply for bearing the name of Jesus.

What followed wasn’t instant relief. It was refugee life. Being treated as “less than.” Navigating a new country while carrying invisibl...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
