Mind Over Mania

In this MSNBC documentary Mind Over Mania where former interns at Ron Luce's organization Teen Mania shared their experience and described Teen Mania’s cult-like practices.

Teen Mania's Mission Statemant

To provoke a young generation to passionately persue Jesus Christ and to take His life-giving message to the ends of the earth!

Teenagers who went to Teen Mania’s Honor Academy work as telemarketers for Ron Luce, crawl through mud as part of the academy’s extreme boot camp projects, undergo sleep deprivation, endure verbal abuse, are refused medical treatment in favor of ‘faith healings,’ and participate in exercises such as eating “vomit-inducing foods before repeatedly rolling down the hill” on the campus, and being driven away from campus and told to walk back to campus while carrying a large cross.
