 6 Clues to Spot an Unsafe “Christian” — Before You Get Hurt

Have you ever trusted someone just because they seemed safe… only to realize later they were quietly draining your peace, joy, or confidence?
Many people who wound us don’t look toxic at first glance—some even wear a Christian label. But behind the smiles and Scripture quotes can hide patterns that God never intended for your life.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the 6 subtle but undeniable clues that reveal when someone is not a safe Christian to let close to your heart.
We’ll talk about:
• The friend who only shows up for one side of your life
• The quiet scorekeeper who makes you feel indebted
• The validation-seeker who drains your emotional energy
• Hidden jealousy disguised as support
• The person who can’t admit their mistakes
• And the guilt-tripping behaviors that twist your boundaries

These patterns are easy to miss—especially when the person appears kind, spiritual, or “means well.” But once you learn how to recognize these clues, you’ll never have to say “I didn’t see it coming” again.

This episode will help you protect your peace, your spiritual growth, and the garden God is cultivating in your life.

And when you’re ready, don’t miss the next episode where I show you the hidden habit that keeps attracting unsafe relationships into your life—and how to break it for good.
