In this season's finale, hear the happiest ending to the story! Hear how God has restored to Dwayna anything she lost and then some, including all about her new church. Listen to HOW God has renewed her joy...and stay tuned for Season 2, soon to come in 2026.

Dwayna tells about the good that came out of this, including her forgiveness toward anyone who hurt her, some humorous things, and then explains why she had to go to the police...Tune in, though, for the happy ending, thanks to God's faithfulness and love (with only one more episode yet to go).

Guess what happened when they had "the church vote" to go woke, which the pastor was so sure he would win? Find out what happened next, which resulted in a church split, as God used Dwayna's articles she wrote and posted in support of proper biblical interpretation.

Well, back to the "church stalker" and what happened next!

Well, it is not every day a woman has a pastor flat out lying about her in a "leadership meeting" AND a stalker in "church," but welcome to Episode 8, as this story is getting even harder to believe, although it is all true! Dwayna may have been alone last year in this, but she was never alone, not with God, because to stand up for what the Bible says is to stand up for Jesus. This episode has the stalker coming back into play...with a twist yet to come only God could have orchestrated--all because Dwayna was writing on her "Lighting the Way Worldwide" FB page articles based on what the Bible teaches, which were going against the Scripture twisting teachings coming from the pastor. Oh, and wait until you hear what he called the Holy Spirit in Dwayna at work to give her these Bible verses. He called the Holy Spirit in Dwayna a name that started with a "d" but it was not her name! Also, the deacons joined in...to try to get her to stop writing the articles based on the Bible on her FB page... (For more information about Dwayna Litz's testimony and her outreaches based on apologetics go to LightingTheWayWorldwide.org ).

The true saga continues, as the abuse began towards Dwayna, aimed at her first and foremost from "the pastor." And what had she done wrong? She posted articles on what the Bible says on her FB page, against how the pastor was twisting the Scriptures, and she did this AFTER leaving the church so that "the church" could not stop her from writing about what the Bible says, even though what she was writing was going against the Scripture twisting coming from the "pastor." Dwayna Litz explains the difference also between a healthy church and an abusive one. She also explains the beginning of what would end up being a mean church split. Why was it so mean? Satan was all over that church. That's why. The people who loved Jesus with depth and knew what the Bible teaches--with correct interpretation--left, and the others stayed. In the "church" last year, the word began spreading about Dwayna's FB ministry page, "Lighting the Way Worldwide," because she was posting article after article she was writing on what the Bible says about "church music" and the definition of "evangelism" and "church growth" and whether or not we are told to be "good bereans" or just follow "the pastor." The Bible says to "examine everything carefully and hold fast to that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and "have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but, instead, even expose them" (Ephesians 5:11), so as Dwayna stood up for what the Bible says via the articles she wrote and posted on them her "Lighting the Way Worldwide" FB page, the word began spreading and church members were "secretly" (as they were forbidden by the pastor to comment on her wall) checking out her public FB page and reading her articles on what the Bible says vs. what the "pastor" was teaching. What kind of "pastor" would be so mean? Thank God, this story is not at all what a loving, healthy church is all about.

This is where the story gets good! The saga begins! It is unbelievable how much Dwayna Litz was truly hated, and I mean she was abhored, in the spiritual realm from "the pastor" and the "church" she had thought was her favorite church of her life, and what had she done so wrong? She had shared Bible verses. Only God could have orchestrated such an opportunity, because God took the initiative for this, not Dwayna, and this is how the most abuse she had ever face in her entire life began "at church." It was truly like a cult, but Jesus was with her as she stood up for the Bible, and His love filled up her heart every step of the way. Do not miss this Episode 6, and if you have not heard the former episodes begin at the beginning, because it only keeps getting better.

Dwayna Litz begins her story about loving this new church she had found to the point of it feeling like her favorite church of her life, only for the pastor to unveil his new plan to change the name, change the music and take it woke. She begins this story that no one could ever make up, including even a stalker, as she tells how she went from thinking she had found a "church family" that loved her to experiencing the most abuse she had ever experienced in " "church." Tune in now to the first part of the real story that inspired this podcast, from the pastor to the lies spreading throughout the church, to untrue gossip, threats and even a stalker, in Episode 5 of "When Satan Goes to Church."

In Episode 4 Dwayna Litz lists Bible verses in support of standing up for Truth--even in church. She also goes over what to look for in a church and a pastor and describes the difference between a sound church and an abusive "church" and cult. After all, we are commanded in the Bible--it is not an option for a Christian--"to test the spirits" for our own protection, and God will always reward us when we make the choice to stand up for Jesus rather than to have the praise of man. Seduction is from the devil. It feels good, but when it is coming from someone who is not honest, it is not worth having, even if such seduction is coming from a "pastor."

Listen to Dwayna Litz share more about Lighting the Way International, Dwayna's worldwide outreach of evangelism based on apologetics and the Bible verses she would tell people about how to know Jesus and what it truly means to be a Christian, pointing to how Jesus is worth standing up for in church. Is church really just supposed to be a hospital for the sick with no one getting better? Is God merciful towards a wolf in sheep's clothing?
