Uncover how a religious group in Fiji drew followers into an isolated community and gradually became dangerous. Explore the beliefs, control, and events that eventually exposed what was happening inside the group.

Ep 1:

Trapped in the Promised Land

A Korean doomsday church lures hundreds to Fiji with promises of apocalyptic salvation—then confiscates passports and turns paradise into a prison, as one terrified woman discovers firsthand.

Ep 2:

Empire of Obedience

Behind Grace Road's thriving bakeries and supermarkets lies a brutal two-tiered world of unpaid labor, separated families, and a violent ritual called the Threshing Floor meant to beat 'devils' out of believers.

Ep 3:

Protected Species: A Dictator's Favorite Cult

As evidence of abuse mounts, Fiji's dictator showers Grace Road with loans and awards—and a daring police raid ends in a baffling release that lets the cult's leader walk free.

Ep 4:

The Golden Goose Nobody Will Kill

A new government vows to deport Grace Road's leaders, but court battles, economic leverage, and an invitation from Nauru reveal how hard this empire is to actually bring down.

Shin Ok-ju really said 'God led us to Fiji' but forgot to mention God also said 'strip their passports and beat the devils out of them' 💀

The Presbyterian Church denying Shin Ok-ju's training claim checks out. She was declared a heretic in 2014 but was already running Grace Road independently by 2008.
