  • Summary

  • Join us as we continue our conversation on spiritual abuse as we strive for differentiation and being well informed to identify health church relationships.

    "Spiritual Abuse is when someone use their spiritual authority or manipulates your natural spiritual longings to have power over you..." Brandon Cook.

    Power can come from hierarchy and position such as created by the influence of the business model and the church.

    We can decide what kind of power your pastor has.

    "And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven" Matthew 23:9

    “Classically, there are three ways in which humans try to find transcendence--religious meaning--apart from God as revealed through the cross of Jesus: through the ecstasy of alcohol and drugs, through the ecstasy of recreational sex, through the ecstasy of crowds." - Eugene Peterson 

    As a leader there is a danger to find "ecstasy in crowds," and feed into ones own hype.

    "Superpastor" problem
