015: Spiritual Bullies In the Church... and How to Make Church Safe Again!
Listen now
Description
Nobody likes a bully. But the worst kind of bullies are the bullies we find inside the walls of the church! These bullies go by the titles of pastor, brother, sister, and friend. The church is supposed to be the safest place on the planet. The church is supposed to be a place where we experience the unconditional love of Jesus, community, and family with brothers and sisters in Christ. But what happens when we experience spiritual bullies instead? The damage it causes can be severe and lasting. It can cause irreparable harm. In this episode of the Church Disrupted Podcast, we break from the series we've been in (the church that business built,) and we're going to talk about what it looks like when the bullies are in the church and how we can protect people not only from other bullies, but how we can make sure that we don't accidentally become the bullies ourselves.
