When 'Submission' Is Used to Control You (Biblical Submission vs. Abuse)

from Elisha's Space: Counseling and Authentic Conversations on Healing · host Elisha Lee, Counseling Expert | Authentic Conversations Host

Is saying "no" to your husband—or even your pastor—the same thing as saying "no" to God? If you’ve ever felt like your voice is being treated as rebellion, this video is for you.Submission is one of the most misunderstood concepts in scripture. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about the difference between healthy, mutual submission and spiritual abuse. As a counselor, I explain how to spot when biblical teaching is being weaponized to silence you, crush your intuition, and keep you in a state of fear rather than faith.We’ll cover the specific "red flags" of control, including the use of the "God Card" to shut down valid concerns, and why losing your ability to say "no" is a sign of captivity, not holiness.About Elisha's Space:Welcome to a sanctuary for healing, growth, and authentic conversations. Hosted by Elisha, a counselor and author, this channel delves into the complexities of trauma, anxiety, and depression from a faith-based perspective.#SpiritualAbuse #BiblicalSubmission #ReligiousTrauma #ChristianCounseling #NarcissisticAbuse #ElishasSpace #ChurchTrauma #HealthyBoundaries
