Renovating the Soul

Predators in the Pulpit: When Spiritual Leaders Become Abusers | Ep. 11

• Alexandria Robinson • Season 2 • Episode 11

For too long, the church has sheltered predators and silenced survivors. Behind pulpits, under the banner of faith, spiritual abusers have twisted scripture into a weapon, demanded loyalty over truth, and convinced people that obedience to them is obedience to God.

In this episode, we expose how predators hide in plain sight, why the church protects them, and what it costs to break free. If you've ever experienced spiritual abuse in the church, felt trapped by religious trauma, or been made to believe that leaving a toxic church meant leaving God, you're not crazy. And you're not alone.

Jesus flipped tables over religious corruption. Maybe it's time we start flipping some tables too.

Listen now. And if this episode shakes something in you...maybe it's time to start asking the hard questions.
