I've seen marriages where the woman or the guy will say, oh my gosh, in the beginning, this person was so loving, they were so caring, I couldn't wait to marry them, they were this, they were that. And then about eight weeks after we got married, they became an entirely different person. I didn't even recognize them anymore.
Imagine going to church seeking peace and ending up feeling manipulated and controlled. In this eye-opening episode of 'Confessions of a Worship Leader', host Branon Dempsey is joined by Ian Morgan Cron to tackle the unsettling issue of toxic leadership in religious settings. Ever felt like your pastor is playing a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde game? You're not alone.
Ian, an Enneagram expert and Episcopal priest, brings his unique perspective to the table, dissecting the dual personalities some pastors exhibit—charming one moment, tyrannical the next.

The conversation is a blend of personal stories and professional insights, offering practical advice for anyone caught in such challenging situations.
Whether you're a churchgoer or part of the church staff, this episode provides a compassionate look at how to recognize and cope with toxic leadership while maintaining your spiritual well-being.
