A true shepherd of Christ is marked by humility and a desire to follow Christ's example of servitude. A true shepherd understands Biblical authority and what the confines of Scripture has to say on such matters. Sadly, there are leaders who are not true shepherds but instead, a heavy hand of demanded submission and an overreach of authority is being witnessed and experienced by many. Sheep are being proverbially beaten by the rods of some leaders and teaching is conveyed in such a way to demand loyalty, honor, and blind submission. Consequences are issued for defecting. Those true sheep who are bleeding and bleating from being wounded are chided for even doing so. Where does a sheep turn in the aftermath of such situations? Are there Godly leaders that can be trusted? Is it even possible to heal and to not despise the rod of the True Shepherd, trusting Jesus Christ to lead us on the narrow path? The answer to all of those, my friend, is yes!

Join me as I share some personal insight and discuss some potential warning signs of spiritual abuse, what Scripture has to say about Godly leaders, and what is much needed for healing after coming out of such a difficult situation. There is hope. Christ is the answer!
