"In the Black church, we’re known for saying, “if you know better, do better.” Well, some church leaders know better, but continue in the damaging habits and teachings for the purpose of “worldly” gain. Yeah, I said it… worldly gain and popularity. Many church leaders are more concerned with their own well-being than they are of those within their “flock.” I intentionally put quotes around the word “flock” because this is one of the primary reasons many have not grown out of the “babe in Christ” mentality. Many pastors call themselves “under-shepherds” to people not having the understanding that, they have not fulfilled that title as they should. Some are even called father. However, no place in God’s Word are pastors called father. As for being a “shepherd,” I Peter 5:2 specifically gives instruction as to how a shepherd should respond to his flock… I’ll talk about that later. "
"Here comes the dark side…If the Believers on the day of Pentecost were able to ‘declare the wonders of God in their own tongues,’ what is the need for the various denominations and factions we currently deal with in America, especially if we’re all speaking the same language? How is it we all read the same Bible, yet we gather in different named places, interpret God’s word differently and have biases and prejudices among one another? Are we truly serving the true and living God as He intended?"

It is my hope and prayer that those affected by "spiritual" abuse will visit this site to read some of my personal experiences, and purchase the book "The Dark Side of the Black Church... It's a MIND thing - VOLUME I!" to gain an understanding, and find some helpful tips. Later this summer I'll release VOLUME II that will assist you in gaining even more ammunition, in this struggle. I love THE CHURCH as Jesus established it. However, anytime I read a comment, post or talk to other's about their abusive experiences, I am even more committed to continue spreading the word, in hopes that change will occur from the pulpit to the pews!
It's time for us to be FREE IN JESUS!

After completing my master's degree in Human Resources Management, I became interested in the field of psychology. What I discovered is the direct connection between Psychology, Religion and Spirituality. At the time, I had no idea I would take this route and start writing about how toxic behaviors within the church and other social environments had affected me and many others. I am now one of the biggest advocates for mental wellness, to the point where I started a vlog on YouTube, which I will share later.
Here we are!
