8 Signs of Spiritual Abuse Christians Should Never Ignore


When I was 19, the pastor of a large megachurch hand-picked me for his inner circle and started calling me his “spiritual son.” It felt like love. It turned out to be one of the most damaging relationships of my life. In this video, I look at whether spiritual fathers and mothers are biblical, walk through 8 red flags that show the relationship has become spiritual abuse, and then share what a healthy one actually looks like. If something about your church or your leader has felt off and you couldn’t explain why, this video is for you.
