church abuse

When Michelle came to Christian Fellowship Center, she was dazzled by its close-knit community. She has now renounced her membership and is holding leaders responsible for coercing her to stay in an abusive marriage.

In recent years, the evangelical movement has been experiencing a reckoning when it comes to abuse and scandal.

Familiar accounts of controlling behavior are emerging about Mark Driscoll, the pastor who launched a new megachurch in Arizona after leaving his Seattle congregation amid controversy.

I’ll be honest. The process of healing from church hurt is not easy. It can be hard to face the pain. It can be hard to disentangle the God who loves you from the misrepresentation of God by an unhealthy leader.
