I made decisions and concessions based on what I thought I needed to do to be employed as a Deacon and to support my family. I let them (the church power-lovers) take my authority. In the end it did not matter, and my life work was compromised as well as my family’s spiritual health. I hope others will heed your words.
Thank you for sharing part of your story. I'm sorry that happened and I'm grateful that you felt this to be a safe space in which to be vulnerable. Blessings on your healing journey.
