Along with Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, at least two other ex-NFL players have joined Straitway, the controversial ministry that many consider to be a cult. Plus, KGB’s bizarre courthouse interactions that ended with him being tasered in court.
In the second chapter of our Serial Longform series, we take an unprecedented look at the controversial ministry he is now a part of, and why so many who were once close to KGB want him to get out.
Over two decades, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila found his place in the predominantly white and overwhelmingly Christian suburbs of Wisconsin. In the first installment of our Serial Longform series, 'Pray for Kabeer,' we delve into the former Packers star’s theological evolution, his discovery of a new religious movement, his transformation from revered to feared and why he feels he—and his ministry—are misunderstood.
