Some of the worst people I’ve ever known claimed to be Christians.

In this episode of Dichotomy with Shannon, we’re diving headfirst into the reality of spiritual abuse — and what happens when people use Christianity as a cover for control.

I’m sharing real stories and hard truths about:

• The difference between following Jesus and weaponizing His name
• What legalistic, fear-based religion does to children — and their nervous systems
• How faith gets twisted into ego, shame, and spiritual narcissism
• The fallout of control masked as “obedience”

This isn’t about hate. It’s about healing.

If you’ve ever been wounded by the Church, silenced for asking questions, or told God would only love you if you got it all right — you are not alone.

And God is not like the people who misrepresented Him.
