On today's episode, Ashley deconstructs the toxicity around martyrdom in evangelical theology and how pastors use martyrdom to manipulate people into staying in toxic relationships. At the end of the episode, Ashley recommended Melody Beattie's book "The Language of Letting Go: Daily Meditations for Codependency."
