When someone perpetrates abuse from a position of power, the victim is vulnerable because, if he does not comply with the abuser’s demands, he fears that his spiritual and emotional needs, and perhaps even his basic survival needs, will not be met.
What happens when those we trust most betray us? This episode of 'Healing Courageously' tackles the deeply unsettling topic of spiritual abuse, particularly when it intersects with sexual abuse. Hosts Randy and Kathy Boyd explore how abuse from a position of power can leave victims feeling trapped and vulnerable, especially when their basic survival needs are at stake. Through candid conversations and personal reflections, they shed light on the intricate dynamics of power and control in abusive situations.
They also discuss how such experiences can profoundly affect survivors' relationships with others and their faith. Despite the heavy subject matter, this episode is not without hope. Randy and Kathy offer a compassionate space for understanding and healing, encouraging listeners to move past shame and guilt. They emphasize the power of vulnerability and empathy as crucial steps in the journey to recovery.
If you or someone you know has experienced spiritual abuse, this episode provides valuable insights and support to help navigate the path to healing.
