Episode Synopsis

Have you ever been told that your anxiety is just a "lack of faith"? Or that questioning a leader is the same as questioning God? In this video, we dive deep into the silent epidemic of spiritual abuse. As a counselor, I help you identify the 3 clear signs of spiritual manipulation so you can distinguish between biblical correction and toxic control.If you’ve left a church service feeling more shame than freedom, this is for you. We discuss how scripture is weaponized, the danger of isolated authority, and why performance-based acceptance is not the Gospel. You are not crazy, and healing is possible.
