Listen "E101: Dealing with Manipulation and Coercion"
Episode Synopsis
"I guess if you're going to wear that you don't really love the Lord..."
"If you miss worship you'll go to hell!"
When you begin to go through a faith transition, it's not uncommon for those in your faith community to express concern for your changing beliefs, especially in high authority, legalistic faith communities. For the most part, those with concerns act in good faith and have a genuine concern for those who they beleive are 'departing the faith'.
But how should a Christian who's faith is changing from a legalistic paradigm to a grace centered, Christ centered paradigm manage those conversations in which manipulation and coercion are used as tools to try to bring an 'erring brother/sister' back to 'the truth'?
Kevin and Lee discuss various manipulation and coercion tactics that are commonly used, how to recognize them, and how to move away from or past those conversations that aren't helpful.
