Identifying Systems of Spiritual Abuse

As we prepare for our upcoming Story Workshop for Spiritual Abuse
& Healing, Dan and Rachael return to discuss to the insidious
issue of spiritual abuse and the broken systems that perpetuate
this type of harm.


As many systems around us are crumbling, we hear story after
story about overt abuse and misuse of power in high-profile
churches and ministries. We also know that spiritual abuse can
manifest across a spectrum, with some individuals perpetrating
harm knowingly, while others may unknowingly be influenced by the
systems they are part of, operating with good intentions or
lacking awareness of subtle forms of spiritual abuse.


Listen to learn how to recognize some of the subtleties of
spiritual abuse – and also consider how to lean in as we
personally and collectively seek redemption. Knowing that every
system bears some brokenness, the question becomes:  how do
we participate? Can we actively seek healing and redemption
without giving in to cynicism?


Join us next week for a follow-up to today’s conversation. If you
have experienced spiritual abuse in your own life, we invite you
to join us for the upcoming Story Workshop for Spiritual
Abuse & Healing. Registration is now open at
theallendercenter.org/events.
