"Well, for a while, I just tried to ignore it and I just kept going on with everything. I mean, obviously it hurt my feelings that these are things that pastors were talking about to other pastors behind my back." - Isabel

This is episode one in the series my family members' stories of spiritual abuse in the church where we were active members for fourteen years.

In this episode, Isabel bravely shares her experience of being gossiped about by her youth pastor as an adolescent. Together, we discuss nepotism, pastoral lying, misuse of spiritual authority, and holding others accountable.
