Have you ever wondered if it’s time to leave your church? In this episode of The Red Ledger Podcast, we expose the red flags of spiritual abuse in the church and the difference between healthy, biblical leadership and toxic control.

We are not here to bash pastors, but to encourage our listeners to find HEALTHY biblical leadership.

We talk about:
How churches misuse “grace” to protect leaders while silencing victims
Why authoritarian, cult-like leadership thrives in secrecy
The dangers of gaslighting, manipulation, and spiritual theatrics

How to recognize if your church is guiding you toward Jesus or just the pastor

What the Bible actually says about leadership, accountability, and discernment

📖 Scriptures we reference:
Acts 17:11 — Be a Berean: test everything against Scripture.
Matthew 7:15–16 — You will know them by their fruit.
Ezekiel 34:2–4 — Woe to shepherds who feed themselves.
1 Peter 5:2–3 — Shepherd the flock willingly, not domineering.
Matthew 18:15–17 — God’s way of accountability.

👉 This conversation is for anyone wrestling with church hurt, questioning leadership, or seeking God’s truth in a confusing spiritual environment.
