I have a family member who seems to be falling down the a cult rabbit hole run by a guy named John Heers. I had never heard of the guy until recently but did a quick dive and he seems pretty sketchy.

Apparently with his org titled First Things Foundation, he sends kids to Africa and Georgia to evangelize orthodoxy for 2 years with like no training. Feels like Mormon missionary type stuff. He also runs a Georgian restaurant and dinner club that seems to be tied to it?

I watched some of his videos and they are mostly incoherent, sometimes bigoted babble about how modernity is awful or something like that. But I am mostly confused at how he is seen as an influence and not someone who you might find talking to pigeons in a park.

Does anyone have any info on:

Flying through and went to all three United Clubs in terminal C. They all looked like this - packed to the gills. The one we stayed at had every single seat taken and there were still dozens of people on the hunt for one like musical chairs. Children screaming, lines for every restroom, and absolutely no food left. The three or four staff members working the room looked completely overwhelmed. All on a Tuesday. It was indistinguishable from the outside concourse in design and in atmosphere.

At least Newark has nice clubs that you can stuff yourself like a sardine into.
