Surviving Spiritual Abuse: Healing After Scripture Was Used to Harm You (Ep. 009)

Spiritual abuse is one of the most confusing and devastating forms of harm because it uses something sacred against the very people it claims to protect. In Episode 009 of A Door of Hope, Kay and Kerry step into the difficult but necessary conversation about what happens when faith is weaponized—when Scripture is twisted, manipulated, or used to control, silence, or shame. Many who have endured this kind of abuse find themselves not only wounded by people in positions of authority, but they also struggle to trust God. When Scripture has been used to harm you, even opening a Bible or walking into a church can feel unsafe. But there is hope! If you or someone you love has experienced faith used as a weapon, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and hope that freedom is possible.   Chapters: 02:44 What is Spiritual Abuse? 03:31 Religious Abuse 10:32 Ministering to the Spiritually Abused 17:22 Self-Sabotage Behavior 20:16 The Perversion of Scripture 26:18 A Survivor’s Story 33:10 Hope, Healing, and Resources About the Hosts: Kay Tolman and Kerry Hansher are both survivors of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA). Beginning in childhood, the ritualistic trauma they endured led to a long and difficult journey toward healing, marked by struggles with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and dissociative identity disorder (DID). Through many years of walking in healing and restoration with the Lord, Kay and Kerry have found freedom—and now dedicate their lives to helping other survivors who have been ignored, shamed, or ridiculed. Using the freedom God has given them, they offer hope, understanding, and practical support to those navigating this deeply complex and often misunderstood trauma.
