When There’s a Bully in the Pulpit
The Gospel Coalition
TGC supports the church by providing resources that are trusted and timely, winsome and wise, and centered on the gospel
While Scripture calls Christian leaders to be gentle, kind shepherds, there continue to be cases of pastors who dominate their flocks with a heavy hand. How should we understand this issue of “spiritual abuse”? How big of a problem is it?
In this breakout session at TGC23, Mike Kruger explores the definition of spiritual abuse, how it’s often misunderstood, and what steps churches can take to address it. Watch the full breakout above or listen in the TGC Podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts.
Interesting. Now...how about on the church board?
