  • Healing from Abuse in Religious Spaces

    Healing from Abuse in Religious Spaces
    Mar 26 2026

    Episode Summary

    In this deeply compassionate and grounding episode of the Finding God Podcast, Keana explores what it means to heal from abuse that happened in religious environments spaces that were supposed to reflect God’s love but instead became sources of fear, shame, or control. This conversation gently unpacks how spiritual abuse shows up, how it impacts our emotional and spiritual lives, and what it looks like to begin healing in a way that honors your pace, your story, and your safety.

    Keana also recaps last week’s episode on recognizing legalism in the church, showing how legalism often becomes the doorway through which spiritual abuse enters a community. This episode offers clarity, validation, and hope for anyone who has ever felt spiritually disoriented or wounded by people who claimed to speak for God.



    Key Takeaways

    • Abuse is abuse even when it happens in a church or religious environment.
    • Spiritual abuse often hides behind fear, shame, control, and misused scripture.
    • Your emotional and spiritual reactions are valid and normal responses to trauma.
    • Healing begins with naming what happened and separating God from harmful people.
    • You are allowed to rebuild your faith slowly, gently, and at your own pace.
    • God’s love is nothing like the behavior of those who misrepresented Him.
    • You deserve spiritual spaces that honor your humanity, boundaries, and voice.


    Reflection Questions

    • What beliefs about God were shaped by fear rather than love?
    • Where do you feel tension or peace when you think about your spiritual past?
    • What practices or environments feel safe for you right now?
    • What do you need in order to rebuild trust with yourself, with God, or with community?


    Resources Mentioned

    • Journaling prompts for processing spiritual trauma
    • Trauma‑informed therapy and support options
    • Practices for rebuilding spiritual rhythms gently and safely


    Listener Reminder

    Your healing matters. Your story matters. And God is not the voice that harmed you. Take your time, honor your pace, and know that you are not alone on this journey.
