The Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story - Cultish Response
Evil Influencer, Andrew Soncrant, Jeremiah Roberts
About this Episode
In this episode of Cultish, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant respond to Netflix’s The Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story.
They examine how Mormonism’s emphasis of personal revelation can become a breeding ground for cult leaders who claim to “hear from God,” and how institutional trust plays a role—highlighting the fact that Jodi Hildebrandt was listed as an approved therapist by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This episode explores the dangerous mix of spiritual authority, therapeutic language, and unchecked influence—and why discernment matters.
