Can a church or an organization become a narcissistic system?
This eye-opening episode dives into how to recognize, confront, and heal from spiritual and emotional abuse inside communities that control, manipulate, and harm in the name of faith or “purpose.”
Together with Josh Berger, we explore:
What a narcissistic system really is and how it operates
Red flags many people overlook until it’s too late
The impact on your identity, faith, and relationships
Why leaving is so hard (and why it is NOT your fault)
Practical steps to heal, rebuild your voice, and find a healthy community
How to prevent churches and organizations from becoming toxic
This episode is for you if:
✔ Something feels “off” where you worship or work
✔ You’ve experienced manipulation, pressure, or isolation
✔ You are looking for a path toward restoration
✔ You want to protect your community from unhealthy dynamics
