Episode 54 - Feeling Like a victim (Part 2) When you are experiencing Spiritual Abuse
Spiritual abuse is one of the deepest wounds a pastor or church member can carry—because it comes wrapped in the name of God. In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond shares hard truths, survivor stories, statistics, and his own personal experience of being verbally and physically mistreated by a senior pastor. This is not about attacking organizations. Jon makes it clear—he has loved and served alongside many good people in ministries like Teen Challenge and the Assemblies of God. But within even good organizations, abuse can and does happen. And it must be named. With Scripture as our foundation, we’ll look at what spiritual abuse is, why it hurts so deeply, how widespread it really is, and why healing—not revenge—is the pathway forward. For pastors who’ve been hurt, and for leaders who may need to blow the whistle, this is a call to face the truth, seek counseling, connect with recovery ministries, and rediscover the heart of the Good Shepherd who never abuses His sheep.
