Who We Are

            Doug and Wendy Duncan are former members of a Bible-based cult. After leaving the cult where he was a member for over twenty years, Doug earned his master’s degree in counseling and is now a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. Wendy is a licensed social worker and holds a master’s degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. She is also the author of I Can’t Hear God Anymore: Life in a Dallas Cult, the true story of the couple’s involvement in and eventual separation from a Bible-based cult.
            Since renouncing their membership in a cult, Doug and Wendy Duncan began a ministry to help individuals coming out of cultic groups and to teach churches how better to minister to these hurting people. The Duncans are available for author visits, speaking engagements, and training workshops on the topic of cults, spiritual abuse, and recovery. Visits may include their personal testimony, an introduction to cults, training on helping individuals coming out of cultic groups, warning signs of potentially abusive groups, and understanding cult mind control. 
           Because of their experience of the damage cultic groups can do to individuals, Doug and Wendy have a passion to help others who have been caught up in spiritually abusive groups and to help Christians understand how to minister to these hurting people. Individual counseling is available, as well as support groups. (See “need help” page for additional information).

          There are no fees for the workshops, presentations, or support groups.

I Can't Hear God Anymore: Life in a Dallas Cult is the true story of the author's experience in a Bible-based cult in Dallas, Texas. 

The cultic group, the Trinity Foundation, portrays itself as the watchdog of the televangelists and investigator of ministry fraud. Trinity Foundation and its charismatic leader, Ole Anthony, rose to fame in the early 1990's when it assisted Dianne Sawyer’s PrimeTime Live program in exposing Robert Tilton and two other Dallas televangelists as religious charlatans. Ole Anthony has been involved in investigations of numerous religious figures, working with programs such as NBC Dateline and 60 Minutes. Anthony’s group has been lauded in US News & World Report, The LA Times Magazine, and The New Yorker. He has been a near-ubiquitous commentator on all things religious for both local and national media outlets, but little has known about the inside workings of his own group.

 

Wendy’s book, I Can’t Hear God Anymore: Life in a Dallas Cult, is the first publication, which raises questions about Anthony and his operation. This book describes the abusive practices and strange beliefs that define the Trinity Foundation and examines the spiritual damage done by an authoritarian religious leader exercising too much influence in a follower's life.

 

I Can’t Hear God Anymore is an instructive example of how normal people can be vulnerable to the psychological manipulations and spiritual abuse of a skilled cult leader. It is also an inspiring story of hope, as the author details her struggle to regain her psychological and spiritual health after leaving the group, and explains how others caught in similar circumstances can do the same.The book describes the author's vulnerabilities to the spiritual and emotional manipulations that kept her bound to the group, and offers hope to those with similar stories by showing how they can find their way back to spiritual and psychological health.

This book is vital reading for all those who are trying to recover from such an experience, and for the family members and friends who want to understand what it is like for their loved ones who are struggling to heal from involvement in a cult.
