Spiritual Abuse is a complex and confusing topic for many people in today's churches. It is a conversation that causes people anxiety and frustration. On one side there is great skepticism on the validity of reported abuse. On the other side, people have legitimate experiences of trauma that have been minimized. How do churches reconcile this tension?
Mark DeJesus and Dr. Foluso join the discussion to answer the question of what is spiritual abuse? What practices cause the greatest harm? How can we equip churches to address the harm in a Spirit-led manner?
The event will be live-streamed through Facebook live and Youtube from 7:00 PM-9:00 PM Central Standard Time. The cost is FREE! Simply go to my Facebook page or Youtube channel on the date and time of the livestream.
The first hour of the conversation will provide a basic overview of spiritual abuse. The second hour will specifically answer questions in the comments section during the livestream. Questions will be answered from both Facebook & Youtube.

Dr. Foluso is a licensed psychologist who specializes in evidence-based and culturally informed treatments of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and anxiety disorders. She is passionate about working with highly motivated individuals who are driven and successful in several areas of life but struggle with anxiety, especially with perfectionism. Coming from a multicultural background myself, I understand that traditional therapy techniques at times can overlook or ignore issues unique to those who come from diverse backgrounds, so my therapy work is culturally inclusive. Regardless of your background, I eagerly work with any individual who is ready to tackle the uncertainty that keeps them from fully engaging in the life as they desire.
