Shame Off You! Overcoming Religious Abuse and Spiritual Manipulation

Has a religious leader or spiritual authority figure ever threatened your welfare, wellbeing, or eternal security? Did they predict God would punish you for not listening to them? Maybe they enacted what they believed was God's justice—shaming you, urging your spouse to leave, even inserting themselves into your children's lives. Did they tie your salvation to staying in their good graces?

If you've experienced religious abuse or spiritual manipulation—or know someone who has—this episode is for you. Hosts Shawn Saunders and Christian Meachem know firsthand the fear, guilt, and shame so many Christians carry from those they called pastor or elder. Tune in to this episode of GraceWorks to learn how to stop the hurt and begin healing.
