The Same Boat

2.3 Silent Exodus: Spiritual Abuse


Listen Later

One of the reasons why Asian American Christians have been leaving the immigrant church is because of their experiences of spiritual abuse.

Wilson Wang, Jenna Fu, and Roy Kim share some of their thoughts, experiences, and questions about spiritual abuse in the immigrant church.

Some of their talking points include:

  • Getting fired in the immigrant church
  • Boundary-less family style church life
  • Parallels with domestic abuse
  • Korean churches resembling military hierarchy
  • Trying to remember an immigrant pastor giving a genuine apology
  • Good and Bad ways to trust a pastor, and more.

As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you.
