Summary

In this clip from my guest appearance on the Bible Uncut and Unfiltered Podcast, I discuss some of the common structural issues within IFB churches that make them far more susceptible to abuse cases happening.

Join us in this eye-opening excerpt from The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered Podcast, where we delve into common red flags found in Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) churches. Our discussion sheds light on crucial issues, including the concentration of power around a single individual, the treatment of women, and the impact on survivors of spiritual and sexual abuse.
