December Special

Has religion been used in a relationship to control you? Has the Bible or Scripture held you captive and kept you in a destructive situation? Or has your own “Godliness” or the idea of being a Christian ever held you prisoner in an abusive situation? Christmas is almost here, which is a wonderful time, but it also can be stressful, especially when you’re in a destructive situation since holidays tend to amplify abuse. In this week’s special episode, I’ll be talking about religious abuse and how Scripture is often misinterpreted and used for control and manipulation, the consequences of staying in a destructive relationship, and ways we can change our situation.
