What happens when the church, meant to be a sanctuary, becomes a source of pain?
In this raw and heartfelt episode of Faith Ponderings, Pastor Scott dives into the heavy topic of spiritual abuse—when leaders or systems manipulate, shame, or control in the name of faith. Through the story of Frank, a man broken by his church’s betrayal, we explore the scars of spiritual abuse and the big question: How do you heal?
From naming the pain to finding safe community, this episode offers practical steps for recovery and a hopeful reminder that God’s love persists in the wreckage. If you’ve been hurt by the church or want to understand those who have, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Join us for a journey of honesty, healing, and rediscovering faith.
