Have you lost family because you started questioning the faith you grew up in?

Have you felt the crushing weight of realizing that what you thought was love, was actually control?

If you’ve woken up to religious narcissism—if you’ve dared to think for yourself—you already know how brutal the fallout can be.

Because when a religion is hijacked by narcissistic leaders, it stops being about faith. It becomes about obedience, submission, and loyalty at all costs.

And the moment you question, the moment you start thinking for yourself… you become the enemy.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why religious narcissists demand blind loyalty
• How faith is used to control, manipulate, and isolate
• Why family members turn on you when you start asking questions
• How religious gaslighting keeps people trapped
• What really happens when you wake up and break free

This isn’t just about religion—it’s about power, identity, and fear.

Religious narcissists don’t want followers. They want disciples who never question, never push back, never leave.

And if you’ve started to see through the lies, if you’ve felt the heartbreak of losing people you love because you refuse to bow to manipulation—you’re not alone.
