Spiritual Church Abuse is beginning to become a worldwide phenomenon because this is happening so frequent to many church goers around the world. It doesn't matter what denomination a person is affiliated with...this issue is seen across the world throughout all churches and places of worship. What is it? Spiritual abuse is when a leader (or a person in a spiritual authority position) uses their spiritual position to control, manipulate or dominate another person. In this series, we will talk to some individuals who have gone through this and they will share their testimony of how they made it out. In this episode Marquetta begins to tell her story of this type of abuse, how she endured years of pain, how she got out and most of all how she found healing and restoration._______________________________________________________________________________________For more information about our organization please visit us atwww.safeharborim.comMore Shows and episodes please visit us athttps://safeharborim.com/blog-and-media/our-podcast/ Please Follow Us, Like Us and Share...
