Episode 1: Nate Phelps

Nate discusses his abusive childhood under the strict commands of a tyrannical, psychopathic, and infamous Christian ‘leader’ of Westboro Baptist Church – Fred Phelps.

Phelps is an American-born Canadian author, LGBT rights activist, and public speaker on the topics of religion and child abuse. He is the sixth-born of the 13 children of Fred Phelps, from whom he – along with three of his siblings – had been estranged since his 18th birthday in 1976 until his father’s death in 2014. Phelps permanently left Westboro Baptist Church in 1980 when he turned 18 years old and has since publicly censured the group.
