Summary
Every Sunday, Caleb Flynn stood in front of a congregation and led worship. He appeared on American Idol and talked about how much he loved his wife. He worked at Ashley's family company. The community saw exactly the man he wanted them to see. Now prosecutors in Miami County, Ohio, allege that same man was sending his mistress texts about killing Ashley without going to jail, and ultimately shot her in the head while she slept. His defense attorney conceded the affair and told the jury: being a terrible husband doesn't make you a murderer. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine the fierce loyalty congregations develop toward charismatic leaders and how it blinds them. What happens psychologically when an aspiring celebrity pivots to church leadership? And how does the collapse of a narcissist's public image affect his psychology as he sits on trial? Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and related charges. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
