Episode notes

There is a self-diagnosis kind of culture right now on social media that is sometimes helpful people come in with Ideas that we can build on and sometimes unhelpful. There can be a concept creep as Jonathan height um talks about in coddling of the american mind That real trauma is really really damaging I sometimes talk about capital T and lowercase T trauma as a as a shorthand But that's again why I put harm in the name of the scale, right? So I do think that those are Realities.

We examine the phenomena of spiritual abuse with the help of Dan Koch, researcher, therapist, and host of the podcast, You Have Permission. Both Curtis and Dan share how their own lives have been affected by spiritual abuse, and then together address questions such as, “Why can it be difficult to spot? What kind of impact does it leave? What makes spiritual abuse distinct from other kinds of abuse?” The conversation connects important theological insights - including the nature of institutional sin and redemption - with practical advice for victims, their loved ones, and current leaders of Christian organizations.
