I Need Help

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Whatever brought you here, we're glad you found us.

Maybe you know exactly what has happened in your world. Maybe you're still trying to name it. Maybe you just know that something was wrong, and you've been carrying it alone longer than you should have.

Wherever you find yourself in the journey, this space is for you.

The path you're on likely holds complex feelings, and we get that. Confusion, grief, and anger may vie for your attention one day. Avoidance or shame may take hold the next. You want to be okay, but you're not there yet. No matter how complex it may feel today, there is a way forward. The pathways below are starting points others have found helpful. Take whatever is useful. Leave the rest.

The way forward is more beautiful and hopeful than you might imagine.

You don't have to walk it alone.

Ways to Spot Spiritual Abuse

Spiritual abuse rarely announces itself. It hides in familiar language, in systems you trusted, in patterns that didn't register until you were out.

These pages help you name what you might be seeing.

Recognizing Abuse

Who Is Impacted?

Spiritual abuse doesn't only wound one person. It moves through a congregation like a fracture—reaching the inner circle, the staff, the spouses, the leaders left to shepherd the aftermath.

Those Impacted

Understanding Adult Clergy Sexual Abuse

By nature of their position, the trust we place in our pastors runs deep. When that trust is violated sexually or intimately, it's a particularly devastating abuse of power.

And it has a name.

I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’ They will be My sheep, grazing in green pastures and on hills that were previously bare. They will neither hunger nor thirst. The searing sun will not reach them anymore. For the LORD in His mercy will lead them; He will lead them beside cool waters.

- Isaiah 49:9-10 NLT
