Defining Spiritual Abuse

Today Dan and Rachael revisit one of the most listened-to topics
on the podcast: spiritual abuse. However, before we dive into the
conversation, we recognize that we cannot address the reality of
spiritual abuse without taking into account that many, many
people have encountered violations of various kinds within
spiritual contexts. Over the course of their conversation today,
the first of two on this topic, you’ll hear more about how to
define spiritual abuse in Christian contexts, tools used by
spiritually abusive leaders to maintain power and control, and
the insidious nature of spiritual abuse.
