Episode Details

The term “Biblical submission” has long been considered an essential principle of a sanctified partnership. But more and more women describe that people use this term to perpetuate a pervasive type of abuse. That all too often goes unnoticed. Perhaps one can ask, is the term “biblical submission” synonymous with spiritual abuse?

If you are experiencing spiritual abuse we’d love to see you in a Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group Session.

Coach Sharon focuses on exposing incorrect thought patterns that lead to the weaponization of spiritual truths. Sharon, as a survivor of physical, emotional and spiritual abuse, is determined to support women to regain their voice. She wants to help them reframe their value, and maintain their spiritual footing. This is what makes her valuable to our community of women who know this pain. Coach Sharon shares a profound part of her personal story.

How Can I Know If Biblical Submission Is Being Used To Abuse Me?

• Told or made to feel that God has control over your body, not you
• Made to believe that you have no choice or decision-making role in your own relationship
