How do you know when God is asking you to hold on… and when He’s asking you to let go?

Pastor and coach Anita Albert-Watson is here to chat about faith, spiritual abuse, discernment, and what it looks like to trust God when something just doesn’t feel right.

After watching Death of a Pastor’s Wife, Anita and I unpack what we saw through her perspective as both an ordained pastor and a pastor’s wife. From the red flags of unhealthy church leadership to what happens when scripture and spiritual authority are used to manipulate instead of guide, Anita has a lot to share.

But this chat goes far beyond one documentary…

We’re talking about the moments when you know something needs to change but you’re afraid that letting go means you’re giving up. Anita shares her own experience of stepping away from ministry, finding a new assignment, and learning that leaving one season behind doesn’t necessarily mean leaving your calling behind.

We chat about:

• How to recognize spiritual abuse and unhealthy church leadership
• Why spiritual authority should always come with accountability
• The difference between trusting a pastor and knowing scripture for yourself
• How to strengthen your discernment when something feels wrong
• Knowing when God may be releasing you from one assignment and leading you toward another
• How to hear God when you’re in a season of transition and don’t know what comes next

If you’ve experienced church hurt, questioned whether you can trust your own discernment, or found yourself wondering whether God is asking you to stay, leave, or simply take the next step, this chat is for you.
