Now an ex-pastor, Grant served at the same congregation for over 20 years. The spiritual abuse within the congregation became so unbearable for Grant that he finally decided to resign. Adding to a church culture that was ultimately toxic and driven by fear, Grant describes some within the congregation as "two-faced," and he is still recovering from the turmoil to this day. Grant's story is unique. It shows that spiritual abuse stems typically from those with the most power, and in the Church of Christ's structure, that ultimate power is with the congregants.
