Not every church is led by the Spirit of God—and just because a place has “church” on the sign doesn’t mean it’s safe for your soul. In this episode, we’re calling out the red flags of toxic church culture: when leadership is corrupt, when bigotry is disguised as righteousness, and when Scripture is twisted to fit man-made agendas. We’ll look at the example of King Saul and break down why you can’t get healthy teaching from a corrupt source.
If you’ve ever felt spiritually manipulated, silenced, or shamed in the name of God, this conversation is for you. Let’s clear the confusion and get back to the heart of what Jesus intended for His Church.
