Exploring tactics of abuse in the church with Dr. Wade Mullen.

[@LouisaWatt]

I’ve had experiences multiple times since I was saved at the start of my psychology degree, where I would be studying a specific phenomenon while living it in real life. For example, I was randomly assigned a topic for my paper by the tutor and at the same time dealing with that specific personality trait in a housemate. God utilises things like psychology to help us describe and name what we experience to battle confusion. The Lord will provide the tools we need to fight darkness.

For years I felt something wrong, I would question and finally I was kicked out of church.

[@beEmboldened]

I'm glad you're here, though certainly not glad you've suffered in this way.

The only churches that kick people out of church are abusive churches. It is the final thing that turns them into cults.

This was the first book I read on this topic. Spot on!

Thanks for this. The last part on connection in beauty of creation is especially lovely. "Put yourself in the way of beauty." Cheryl Strayed. It really is life-giving.

Thank you for setting up these interviews about spiritual abuse, they are very insightful. In fact, I was just watching a speech from Dr Mullen about the topic of spiritual abuse. So this interview was quite timely. You are doing a great job in bringing awareness to this issue. Thank you.
