Surviving Persecution From the Church for Exposing Abuse

Purity beliefs, Biblical morality sound Islamic??? & and you laugh??? Out of here!

Thank you.

I'll try to keep my comment brief.

Thank you so much for telling your story and addressing the issue of "Christians " being abusive to other Christians. I have experienced it...destroying my property, trying to isolate me, breaking up families if you don't go along with terrible teaching and false doctrine, singled out to not receive financial compensation then advising your spouse to divorce you for not providing,. In general hating you for not going along with their abusive, narcissistic church schemes. The saddest part is they have the power to destroy people but they can't restore people. Only Jesus can do that. And they don't have Jesus.

I see very few positive comments to you. I had a person who bragged about working for Franklin Graham physically attacked me bc i told him as a Christian he should not verbally abuse his employees. You are not alone. How it got to this point in America is hard to figure out. God has spoken to me about encouraging people to not let the disobedient experts push them away from their place in His kingdom.

It is sad, but true, that most of the religious leaders are more like politicians and celebrities who deliver a product (Christians) to the powerful. They lie too eaaily to be likely to haveca real faith or fear of God. That said, but many times, their place in this arrangement of things is not completely their fault. They, too, are attacked by the devil, but so many act as if they are just fine as long as their celebrity shines and they have influence to sell. It is just a worldly, "so-called" church, and the real Christians are "like sheep without a shepherd", except for that One shepherd who loves us, and He does care.

Thank you Naghmeh and Julie. And kudos to Anne Graham Lotz for standing with you against her brother. You are both a great comfort to so many of us whose hearts have been broken. Being trampled on by the church is something no one thinks will ever happen to them - until it does.

Amen 🙏🙌

As a good soldier of Jesus Christ we must suffer persecution......... Onward Christian Soldier!!

God uses the humble and broken. Anyone who thinks they can cover up their sin eventually find themselves humbled. Notice how Naghmeh's husband divorced her. He was afraid of being transparent and to be accountable to other men. Everyone needs to be surrounded by others who will tell them what they need to hear. I am grateful for the men in my life who have told me what I needed to hear. God knows our heart and works from the inside out. God knows our heart and he knows the hypocrites. He opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble.

I so love Naghmeh's passion for Jesus and for the Church. This is a hard story but there is so much light shining through the holes left by wounds. May He continue to use your story for the healing of the Church and in so doing, bring healing to you in redemption of tender places. All the best to you, Naghmeh. <3

An amazing story. We need to be careful, however, of saying "Christian community" which broad brushes all Christians in America which is not accurate and dismisses those who support Naghmeh.

Love her!! Thank you for this awesome interview!

God does not tolerate abuse within His Church. Authority to rebuke sin has been given all followers of Christ. When authority figures use Christ given authority to abuse they have violated Christ.

Great interview

What a blessing you are!!! 🙏 ❤

What has been said does not sound good to the ears of many but they are facts. They happened to many in real life. Whatever that is hidden has to be revealed.

Before you donate to parachurch organizations get the IRS 990 Form for nonprofits. It will list the salaries unless it gets redacted by the organization. Christian music is multi billion dollar industry, and books are based on profit and not sound doctrine.

We do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ🙏🏻💕

Im thinking to do my thesis on how the church handles abuse & leadership manipulation

After Dr. Graham died I stopped my financial support of his ministry because I didn’t see the same anointing on his son. I saw and felt an aura about Franklin that didn’t feel good or right. It’s been several years now and I’m so blessed to have redirected my monies to a more humble and anointed ministry. Thank you for sharing your story!!
I was one of your supporters who did advocate in my sphere of influence for Saeed and was devastated by the truth of your marriage.
Thank you for your courage and faithfulness to Jesus and to the Muslim community.🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼

This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone else, other than myself, talk about what it’s like to be persecuted by other believers. I have experienced this, and I’ve often wondered why the Bible doesn’t address it. The New Testament talks a lot about being blessed for suffering persecution for Christ’s name, but nowhere does it talk about what to do when you’re persecuted by those who claim to be followers of Christ, themselves.

What was especially revealing and encouraging for me to hear was the reminder that the shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I think there is a disproportionate amount of Honor and praise that is given to church leadership in many churches. I think we are called to honor and respect all of our brothers and sisters.... Not especially the pastors. I am very excited about what God is doing right now in the church, including what he is doing through this ministry. I experienced a lot of Injustice and abuse that was mingled with "Church". I see that God is now addressing a lot of these issues and it's also educating me so that I don't add to the problem. I so long to be a part of an awesome encouraging ministry team but have mainly experienced dysfunction. I'm starting to hope the future may look differently❤❤❤

Wow thank you for speaking out!

Amen..he is the truth the way the Life.. Jesus Christ

WOW these mega pastors are going down. God clearly will not tolerate this kind of prideful misogynistic leading. Woe to those.....

Based on her description of Christianity in the U.S. she should look into Eastern Orthpdoxy as a church for her.

Yes!!! All about Jesus not megachurches!!!
Lord show us the grassroots we are desperate for you!

It is no accident that God raised up a woman who endured persecution from both the Muslim and the Christian religious establishment. The purging of her heart by God through this suffering is what we who want more of God will shortly be gong through. Hearing her I immediately recognized her as my sister in Jesus, because of her endurance of persecution. If you follow Jesus you will experience persecution, andmarginalization, and rejection. We will all have to endure divorce from the church system God is even now reforming into a community of people wholly responsive to Him. This too is is no accident in her testimony.

Psalm 55:6-14
I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest. How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah
I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.” O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city. Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within. Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets. For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide. But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend. We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.

You both encourage people, especially und ℹ scerning women, to go against God's Word, particularly 1 Timothy 2:12-14; God doesn't contradict Himself and won't contradict His own Word. Remember Jeremiah 17:5 (not only in connection with this √id but also with other various unbiblical views & solutions promoted 🔛 this chαnneI).

I’ve read Naghmeh’s book, it’s a must read book! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Lot of Pastors, will have to make peace with the Maker before getting to meet the Maker.

Wow. Incredible sister. I am so glad she got out from under the thumb of that abuse.

God bless you sister!! Big support
