Gaslighting is everywhere—from relationships and media narratives to political spin and even inside the Church. In this powerful episode, we expose how psychological manipulation is used to make you doubt reality, silence truth, and control culture… and how God’s Word equips us to stand firm.

🎭 Where did the term “gaslighting” come from?
It originated from the 1938 stage play Gas Light (later adapted into the famous 1944 film), where a husband manipulates his wife into believing she’s going insane by dimming the gas lights and denying it’s happening. The story became the perfect metaphor for psychological abuse and deception—and today, we see it weaponized on a massive scale in society and media.

🔥 In this episode we discuss:
• What gaslighting REALLY is (and how to recognize it)
• How the enemy uses manipulation and confusion as spiritual warfare
• Why culture denies obvious truth (“Antifa doesn’t exist,” “Did God really say?”)
• Biblical examples of gaslighting from Genesis to the Gospels
• Why silent churches are losing influence
• How believers can boldly speak truth in a world of lies

✅ If you've ever been told you're “crazy,” “overreacting,” or “imagining things”… this episode will set you free with TRUTH.

In Episode 317 of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we explore Mark’s journey from a childhood vow to make films for God to being told by a missionary that “Christians can’t work in the film industry.” That moment—and a devastating church scandal—pushed him further from faith. But God’s redemption story didn’t end there.

We unpack why the arts matter in the church, how the Body of Christ should celebrate all gifts, and why every believer has a mission field—whether in media, schools, or homes.

📖 “The tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!” – James 3:5

📖 “With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.” – James 3:9–10
