In the Bible Jesus says "Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him."

In this episode we discuss sexual abuse and spiritual manipulation in the church. Spiritual manipulation is a technique used by abusive churches and leaders to control individuals and acquire personal gain. There are religious leaders who take Scriptures out of context to support their agenda.

Leaders abuse their authority for sexual gain. Often victims have been brainwashed and groomed or for various reasons feel that they stand to lose too much by coming forward. How can a victim go about seeking justice and freedom from such a situation? What is the process of healing and restoration when a place or person meant to protect you like a shepher
