Spiritual Abuse: When Leaders Cross the Line
<p>The misuse of authority by church leaders is one of the most painful and disturbing situations facing the church today. When pastors and ministry leaders selfishly seek their own agendas, the results can be devastating—controlling behavior, manipulation, exploitation, and broken lives. Why does this happen and what can be done for those traumatized by it? This episode takes a hard look at phenomenon of spiritual abuse in the church, identifying the tactics of abusers, and offering some practical measures to victims for restoration and healing.</p><p> </p><p>Recommended resources:</p><p></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Bully-Pulpit-Confronting-Problem-Spiritual/dp/B0B3SK6MCN/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3EOHQ4FOLLKSR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sF_vQ5OJbNYRAyIldymR3tLklsAm-3YXe2uUQqqa-_Shgi_kx0cVs5kQ4EszdMiBFAjFKpy0cG43YI0NAlTluSnL_e58iO40-cbUnKW2_gNH-xPYr13QQ6k568FaGViDb7WjV3nq_dcvyp6KWlKhHHiAtADzPPQQQwK_21EEttJd_PKgIBt774aSVXgcCzxqSiR0Z1tNz_UJxK8e-hP_-_lkmZh0_lP6eP-31aJET0Q.YtQ6XwasmYx6RiXyF6diOq5Lxo8-3foPY4lMTPjSmBc&dib_tag=se&keywords=bully+pulpit&qid=1782740186&sprefix=bully+pu%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-2" target="_blank">Bully Pulpit: Confronting the Problem of Spiritual Abuse in the Church </a></p><p>by Michael J Kruger</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Mending-Soul-Second-Understanding-Healing/dp/B0BTKFDB2Q/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LDW7JKYDWCEE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AIYOWkELcYjz4MCSSkl7TrzsAFpEIvEvLOiOoj72-iTb1CfuYF2YOB27C70rsgEjEtEH77C9id1PmnaeZR-AE14sgqcI56xag59Ukzem0zN1b_8mKG9lXJQveAJUjr4zAHbli1jTTTpY1tWvTfqN4U6kNLuCv8gkGojvFSVpTgs8hC8VCYNH_Bdsu6mAdPOxlYFPk0dvaAY6-z1eo32o634ReUrm9G4olhz3KpcNRx0.MJ1hB2bObmvpItYNkaaVgJfGTmiUx5VRd8nyJN2DvuQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=mending+the+soul+book&qid=1782740264&sprefix=mending+the+soul%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Mending the Soul, Second Edition: Understanding and Healing Abuse </a></p><p>by Steven R.

Why Are Christians Such Hypocrites?
<p>One of the chief complaints against the church is that it is filled with people who say one thing and do another. Some professing believers seem to almost lead a double life, leading outsiders to wonder if the gospel really has the power to transform a person’s nature. If you have been hurt by a believer who fell short does it mean that the faith itself will let you down? In this episode we look at why the sin of hypocrisy is so serious, and why it prompted Jesus to give perhaps the most scathing rebuke in the whole New Testament. We also consider what it means that becoming more like Jesus is a process, making the Christian life a journey of sanctification, not an overnight victory. </p><p></p><p>www.doubtlessfaith.com</p>

Judge Not! Navigating the Problem of Judgmentalism in the Church
<p>For many people the problem with Christianity isn't Jesus, it's the church. Beginning a new series on "When the Church Lets You Down," this episode deals with the most common complaint against the faith - Christians are too judgemental! What did Jesus mean when he warned, "Judge not lest you be judged?" Are all judgements wrong, or are some necessary, even good? Why are church-goers sometimes prone to making harsh critiques of others, and how can you deal with critical Christians in your life? We explore all this and more.</p><p> </p><p>📍 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts | Search "Barriers to Belief" </p><p> </p><p>🌐 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://doubtlessfaith.com" target="_blank">doubtlessfaith.com</a></p><p> </p><p>#CSLewis #JudgeNot #JudgementalChristians #ChurchHurt #ChristianApologetics #WhoIsJesus #BarriersToBeliefPodcast #FaithAndDoubt #PhilosophyOfReligion #Jesus #MereChristianity #ChristianPodcast</p>
