Spiritual narcissism thrives in power over dynamics

The moment a spiritual leader needs you beneath them, dependent on them, afraid to question them, or convinced they have greater access to God than you do — discern carefully. Healthy spiritual leadership is power to power. It doesn’t ask you to make a human your authority in place of God. It doesn’t demand blind obedience. It doesn’t punish questions or discernment. It points you back to God — not deeper into dependence on them. Any dynamic that places a person between you and God has the potential to become dangerous. A true leader doesn’t need your power. They remind you where it belongs. #SpiritualNarcissism #SpiritualDiscernment #SpiritualAbuse #PowerToPower #GodFirst
