Episode 89: The Resilience of 'Love Has Won' CULT Survivor Andrew-Ryan Profaci
Love Has Won Cult. Tragic car accident. Cancer survivor Perhaps the MOST REAL EPISODE YET!
In this gripping episode, host Nathan Coy speaks with Andrew-Ryan Profaci, whose life has been marked by tragedy, addiction, and spiritual deception—and ultimately, resilience.
At 18, Andrew survived a horrific car crash that killed his friend. While healing physically, he unknowingly slipped into opioid addiction from long-term pain prescriptions. Searching for purpose, he turned to spirituality—which led him into an online group that later became the cult Love Has Won.
Using his marketing skills, Andrew unintentionally helped grow the group’s influence, only to discover the disturbing truth from the inside: manipulation, substance abuse, and psychological control. Pressured into assuming the role of “Father God,” he endured extreme coercion before finally breaking free after nearly nine months.
Andrew now speaks with honesty and clarity about:
How trauma makes us vulnerable to manipulation
Why intelligent people can fall into cult dynamics
How to reclaim identity and spirituality after deception
This is a raw, powerful story of survival—not just physically, but spiritually.
