This message of overcoming spiritual abuse is so necessary right now. And in light of recent events, I thought it absolutely necessary to bring Francesca McDowall back on to the show to talk about how we recover from spiritual abuse, especially in light of recent events. 

I stress, whilst we mention the exposure of the late Ravi Zacharias, this is intended only to help others avoid these situations and heal. We are all about soul healing and I encourage everyone to pray for Ravi Zacharias's family and the ministry.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • How to be spiritually aware and test the spirits according to Psalm 146:3-5
  • Fran's experience of spiritual abuse and how God lead her to write the book
  • How to heal and help others heal after spiritual abuse
  • What being an enabler of spiritual abuse looks like, even when you think you're not a participant
  • How to ensure we don't put our guard up so much we lock out the good. We talk about what it looks like to be interdependent and not either independent, dependent or codependent.  
  • What forgiveness looks like and why it's so necessary - even if you never get an apology

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
