spiritual abuse recovery

I recently had the privilege of doing a podcast with my friends, SJ Hill and Stevie Bremner, on the topic of “The New Jezebel” and the need for spiritual abuse recovery for many people.  Here’s the link if you would like to listen.

The New Jezebel  is nothing more than a newly packaged old lie, which basically discourages anybody from asking questions or challenging things that are said or done.  It’s a subtle form of manipulation that some leaders use in order to insulate themselves from being challenged.  It’s a form of manipulation, plain and simple.

We discuss how this works, and spend the second half of the conversation discussing practical ways we can change this in our own personal lives and in our fellowship with one another.  If you believe you might be a candidate for ministry related to spiritual abuse recovery, give it a listen as it’s definitely the most insightful conversation the three of us have had together on the podcast so far.
