Not every cult leader starts a cult.
Some start churches.
Before you get angry, hear me out.
A church does not become spiritually abusive because it is large.
Not because it is successful.
Not because the pastor is charismatic.
A church becomes dangerous when questioning is treated as rebellion.
When loyalty to a leader matters more than truth.
When victims are silenced to protect the ministry.
When accountability exists for everyone except those in power.
When leaving is portrayed as betraying God.
When people are taught to trust the pastor more than their own conscience.
The goal of Christian leadership is not to create dependence on a pastor.
It is to help people become more dependent on Jesus.
Healthy leaders point people to Christ.
Abusive leaders point people to themselves.
The difference matters.
Have you ever experienced a church where loyalty to leadership was valued more than honesty?
