    Deadly Faith

    Deadly Faith is a true crime podcast that explores the world where religion and crime collide. The world in which some people take their religious beliefs a tad too far. Maybe they hide their evil behind their ‘Man of God’ persona. Maybe they start a cult, commit murder, or even believe they’re the second coming of Jesus Christ himself. It’s not a world full of sunshine and rainbows, but it’s a world that needs to be explored. That’s where Laci and Lola come in. So get ready for some deep dives, hard truths, and even comedic relief as they tell these heartbreaking stories.
