Deliverance ministries promise freedom—but at what cost?
In this eye-opening conversation, Naomi sits down with clinical apologist Anna Kitko to unpack the real damage caused by deliverance ministries and the flawed theology behind them. Anna shares insights from her UK-based master's research, where she developed a groundbreaking clinical tool to assess the spiritual and psychological harm caused by these practices.
They discuss:
Why some deliverance frameworks are spiritually manipulative
The difference between true spiritual care and coercive control
How trauma is misdiagnosed as demonic affliction
What healthy support actually looks like
How Anna’s psychometric tool is helping clinicians worldwide
Whether you're a mental health professional, a survivor, or someone trying to understand the growing influence of deliverance ministries, this is a must-watch.
