🙏📚 While it's important to recognize signs of manipulation, control, and brainwashing within a church, it's equally essential to approach discernment with wisdom and balance. Not every instance of disagreement or discomfort within a church signifies a toxic environment. It's natural for churches, like any human institution, to have imperfections and occasional missteps.
Discernment should be guided by the overall context and behavior patterns within the church, rather than solely focusing on isolated incidents. It's essential not to approach church involvement with a suspicious heart or a predisposition to see the negative in every situation.
We should not hastily label a church as toxic based solely on one circumstance or disagreement. Instead, it's prudent to consider the broader picture of what is happening within the church community, including its teachings, leadership dynamics, relational atmosphere,
and alignment with biblical principles.
Discernment should be grounded in prayer, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and relying on the wisdom of trusted mentors and spiritual advisors..
