Weaponizing the Word Part I: How Scripture Gets Bent to Exercise Abuse and Protect Power

from Cage Free Voices Spoken Devotionals · host Cage Free Voices

The Queen Bathsheba shares a personal account of clergy misconduct and childhood abuse to show how religious language—rules about modesty, submission, and divorce—can be twisted to protect abusers and silence victims. The episode examines scriptural passages and historical context, highlights patterns of selective interpretation and asymmetric accountability, and urges discernment, child safety, and reclaiming freedom from spiritual coercion.
