We're taking a look back across 2025, revisiting our episode with Gloriana Pilgrim, Former Gloriavale Member

'Put your trust in Jesus because he will lead you. Let go of everything else and God will be there'.

Gloriana Pilgrim was born and raised in the conservative Christian community Gloriavale, based in Haupiri on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.  Almost 5 years ago, Gloriana and her family left Gloriavale to begin a brand-new life.   

Gloriana shares of this life changing journey and the certainty she came to, of knowing God was with her in every step and every decision.    

Currently at time of recording this podcast you can see the documentary about Gloriana, and her family called “Leaving Gloriavale”  on Shine TV.
