The mission field is often described through stories of inspiration and sacrifice, but there is a more complex, difficult reality that many are hesitant to discuss. In this episode, we sit down with "Paul" (a name used to protect his identity), who shares his personal encounter with spiritual abuse while serving in Africa.
We explore how this form of abuse doesn't come from external opposition, but from within, from peers, coworkers, or authorities who are meant to be a missionary's primary support system. Join us as we define what spiritual abuse looks like, examine its biblical parallels, and discuss how to prepare and protect those called to serve.
