“The severe lack of empathy in some of these reviews is staggering. Someone’s spiritual and religious journey is deeply personal, and organizations that exploit that do immeasurable harm to religious adherents. It’s wonderful to hear Noemi’s analysis of a church like Hillsong as well as their painful retelling of how leadership handled their own coming out.
Pastors like to think of themselves as “counselors,” but they have no mental health training. The “help” they offered Noemi was akin to the CEO of a dietary supplements company attempting to perform surgery on someone simply because they sell health-related products.
Thank you so much for sharing, Noemi. This podcast was much needed as Hillsong is not the only church led by grifters and con artists, and it’s so important that we learn from these mistakes.”
