It's good to have people in our lives as guides and mentors, but what happens when those who are meant to lead us abuse their authority? In this episode, Iesha Grove shares a story about the damage that takes place when a church leader abuses their leadership, how it cuts deep in a church community, and how to guard your heart and have a realistic perspective so that you don't fall prey to idolizing others or putting them on a pedestal. We are not here to condemn or condone certain behaviors, only offer and encourage healing from a place of grace. This episode does specifically call out the abuse that took place so if this is topic might be a trigger for you, please listen to a previous episode, or look to next week's episode instead.

If you are someone who's suffered from abuse in any way, regardless of whether it happened in a church community or not, it's not your fault, and you deserve healing. God's grace is sufficient.
