Exposed: Walking away from The Potter’s House with Alan Eby

The Potter's House has received much criticism throughout it’s existence and has been labelled by many as a cult. Major areas of criticism include the level of control exerted over its members, the intense level of commitment required, and the shunning and mistreatment of those who have left the church. The church has been accused of brainwashing its members resulting in the blind following of church beliefs and the division of families. According to their site they are an International Fellowship of over 3000 “churches” in 130 nations. The churches within The Fellowship are usually known as The Potter's House, The Door or Victory Chapel. Alan Eby knows firsthand the pain that takes place because he was once one of them. Birthed into this place during an April conference in Gallup, NM. He soon became a pastor’s kid at only 6 years old. He lived almost 30 yrs inside this place that has been branded a cult from professionals that study these type of high control systems. He trained diligently to climb up the ladder to become a leader of his own church. The countless hours of non paid work for this place and at the end he says he’s left with so much shame and regret for some of the actions he was persuaded and taught to proclaim and do. Today after finally walking away from The Potter’s House after almost 30 years Alan is trying to further his career as an independent artist but says he suffers from feeling so behind then others in this industry because of so much wasted time he gave away to this so called church. As he continues to heal from his experience inside The Potter’s House Alan hopes by sharing his story that it will bring community and encouragement to others that have walked away from this same place.
