Leaving a high-control church is only the first step. The harder work is disentangling from the fear, shame, and control that linger. In this episode, we walk through a “Checklist of Knots” that former Pentecostals often carry even after they leave. From performance-based worth to suppressed thinking, we expose the false teachings and show how Scripture leads us into freedom. Along the way, we share clips of preachers to illustrate these entanglements, and then guide listeners toward untangling. Because every knot you untie is a step closer to resting in Christ’s finished work.
You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. - John 8:32 ESV
