Sharing insights on how to navigate toxic relationships & toxic church from a biblical, practical, and spiritual perspective. #toxicityisnotyourdestiny

Hey Mike, I love your content. Would you consider doing a video responding to Todd Phillips? He’s a former megachurch pastor with extensive theological education who went through nearly a decade of deconstruction and ultimately left Christianity. He’s now publicly challenging Christians to wrestle with the objections that led him away from the faith. I’d really value hearing a biblical scholar like you seriously engage with his arguments.

🛑 Beware: Therapy for a narcissist can mean danger for you! 🛑

When a narcissist goes to therapy, it’s not always about healing—it’s often about sharpening their manipulation skills.

Learn why their “progress” might put you at greater risk:

@RonSCantor This is so good. Thank you.

One of the signs of a spiritually manipulative or abusive church culture is when adults are shepherded to be in a continual state of adolescence. “Trust the grown ups”. “Submit to spiritual mothers and fathers”. “Obey your leaders even when you don’t understand”

These are not teachings of righteousness, but of idolatry.

Adults have a primary personal relationship with God through His Word and the Holy Spirit and a secondary relationship with brothers and sisters in Christ INCLUDING leaders.

Children have a primary relationship with mommy and daddy and a secondary relationship with God.

A parent’s entire moral responsibility to their children is facilitating the transition from Childhood to Adulthood. John the Baptist put it this way “He must increase and I must decrease.” If your pastor or church leadership is not teaching and preparing you to live independently submitted to Christ alone they are failing you. And if they teach independence is sin, you are in a cult.

I don’t think we really understand the level of deception that occurs in people who abuse. We think that if they cry and say they are sorry, that’s a good thing. But it doesn’t touch the practice of deception that runs their lives and that runs their organizations.

@MrWanMath1 What book is this?

[Shaneen Megji @ShaneenMegji]

Only God can change a person. Pray, set boundaries, refuse isolation, and resist manipulation. You can't heal someone by accepting their abuse.

God sees all the manipulation, even the unconscious motives of the gaslighter. God holds them accountable to His reality, not the their false version.

In giving us free will, God gave us the ability to love, and the ability to hurt others. God's intent remains for your good even when others step out of His will to cause hurt and harm.

Scripture says God can soften hearts. Regardless of whether the narcissist’s heart was hardened by trauma or their own choices, God is sovereign. Pray that God would soften their heart.

It is essential that you have a good footing in the scripture so that you can hold the narcissist's point of view against the truth.

Not all narcissists are blatantly egotistic. Some only reveal their true colors to those closest to them.

Leaders who are not accountable to anyone create a team that is focused on being aligned with the leader, rather than the Holy Spirit.

Gaslighting is a war on reality. It is designed to make you doubt yourself, your memory, and your perception.
