Episode 23: Spiritual Abuse?

In this world, we have sinners doing sinful things to each other all the time.

Join Sandra and Pastor Riley as they discuss how people suffering from the fear, blame, shame, and guilt of spiritual abuse need to hear the Gospel preached in its truth and purity…and why it’s worth wandering the wilderness to find a true Gospel oasis.
