Jo's Journey: Breaking Free from Control - A Musical Response to the Local Church Experience

This video introduces "Jo's Journey," (starts at 21:30) a song that captures the emotional journey of leaving a high-control religious group. The song responds to Joanna Casteel's powerful open letter detailing her experiences in the Local Churches movement (also known as the Lord's Recovery).

Joanna's letter caused such a stir that Living Stream Ministry officials publicly condemned it as "Satan's Rebellion" from their podium - demonstrating the very control tactics she described in her testimony.

For those seeking to understand high-control religious groups and the courage it takes to speak truth to power, this musical response offers both emotional resonance and important context.
