Is spiritual abuse a big problem in the Christian church?

Is spiritual abuse quietly thriving in the church?

In this eye-opening clip from Spiritual Abuse: God Told Me To Manipulate You, Nate and Pastor Joseph ask a hard but necessary question—Is spiritual abuse actually a big issue in the Christian church today? The answer might be more common—and more personal—than you’d expect.

With their usual mix of wit and honesty, the hosts explore how authority can be twisted in religious settings and why some Christians feel silenced when trying to speak out. If you’ve ever questioned leadership, felt manipulated “in Jesus’ name,” or just want a fresh, no-fluff take on church culture, this one’s for you.
