What happens when a “holiness” sermon turns into a masterclass in manipulation?
In this episode of I’m on the Phone, Sara and Christy break down a 1983 camp meeting sermon — a fiery display of shame, DARVO, and spiritual power plays aimed straight at a pastor’s wife.
This one’s part analysis, part reaction, and 100% unmasking how control hides behind the pulpit.
⚠️ Content note: religious trauma, psychological manipulation, and public shaming
