"Having Naomi as my mentor allowed me to work through cult-abuse trauma. I came out on the other side with a sense of freedom, overcame guilt, added tools to deal with the dynamics of the family still in the cult, and a deeper understanding of my triggers. I had been to counseling in the past; however, as helpful as that was, the counselor's lack of knowledge of cults and cult abuse kept me from moving forward. The ramifications of cult abuse are deep and wide. I'm forever grateful for Naomi's expertise in this field and her dedication and support in helping others." - RB

This is just one of the many testimonies we have received from someone who has participated in our 1:1 mentoring services with Naomi, Teasi, or Anna.

We exist to help people like RB find freedom from church hurt and spiritual abuse, as well as to prevent victimization/revictimization.

And we get it because we have been there ourselves.

If you can relate, please know that you don't have to go this alone. Visit beEmboldened.com to learn more about how we can come alongside you on your religious abuse healing journey.

We are actively seeking monthly financial supporters to ensure that beEmboldened can extend its resources to everyone seeking freedom from spiritual abuse and church hurt. This ongoing monthly support will enable us to assist more individuals promptly, eliminating the need for anyone to wait for funds before receiving 1:1 mentoring, group mentoring, or access to our curriculums.

Hate to see Tony Stewart leaving NASCAR altogether. The stockcar racing landscape continues to change.

Stewart-Haas Racing announced on Tuesday that it will close its NASCAR operation at the conclusion of the 2024 season.

“They don’t want your help.”
“You’re never going to change their minds.”

We’ve heard these sentiments expressed time and time again, and yet, our inboxes beg to differ. Over 300 people have reached out to Berean Holiness just in 2024. Many are on the edge of a faith crisis as they face leaving Branhamism, Oneness Pentecostalism, the Two by Twos, Mormonism, Holiness Movements, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist churches, Amish and Conservative Mennonite churches/communities, and more.

Even if we never changed a single person’s mind, so many thousands of people are already leaving hyper-fundamentalism and cultish/unhealthy churches that there’s a limitless opportunity to serve.

Sadly, many nonChristians are taking advantage of this under-served group. Anti-Christian “deconstruction” influencers abound. With just a few clicks, you’ll find accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers, promoting books, curriculum, mentorship, and more, all with the goal of pushing people away from the historic Christian faith. It’s not uncommon to see these influencers charging top dollar for their “help” deconstructing. We’ve seen group courses being sold for up to $1,200 per person and talking to deconstruction counselors one-on-one can be $100s per conversation. All that to be told that Jesus isn’t our Savior, traditional values are outdated (even “abusive”), the Bible doesn’t contain objective truth, and on and on.

In sharp contrast, our goal at Berean Holiness is to offer faith-based educational resources, encouragement, support, and community to those who are disentangling faith. On top of our regular work, we just spoke at a conference (more on that soon), we’re currently developing video-based curriculum, researching for new resource directories, preparing future articles, and we’re networking to find more efficient ways to offer quality one-on-one support to those in crisis.

Going from a cultish group to a healthy, mainstream church is a huge jump. There’s so much unlearning, relearning, and healing that must be done, and tragically, many don’t make the leap and end up leaving faith altogether. The more their life falls apart, the more likely they’ll be used by the cultish group as an example of “what happens” if you leave.

That’s why it’s imperative we, the Body of Christ, work together to build a bridge. A bridge of faith-based resources and support leading out of the cultish groups and into healthy, faithful churches.

But we don’t want a toll bridge. Believers who have grown up in cults and cultish groups have suffered enough. The last thing we want to have to do is tell them (in the most difficult season of their life), “We’re only able to help you if you can pay us so many hundreds or thousands of dollars.”

And yet, we can’t get around the fact that the quality resources we offer for free to those we serve come at a cost to Berean Holiness.

$6.75 is the average cost of a DM conversation
$50 is the average cost of a support call
$630 is the average cost of publishing a new article
$800 is the cost of an extensive resource directory
$2,000 is estimated to be the cost of developing a new video-based curriculum

We want to keep our resources no cost, or at the least, as low-cost as possible for the people who need them. Financial support from fellow believers is the only way to make this possible.

It’s our heart to keep working, keep serving, and keep sharing the gospel of grace. Just in 2024, our small team has spent over 1,000 work hours serving those who are disentangling faith. And we want to work thousands of hours more, as well as grow our team—onboarding staff with life experience, advanced training, and skills that we currently don’t have.

Will you please consider joining us in this work as a financial partner? We’re praying for churches and individual believers alike to see the need for this ministry and become monthly supporters.

Only when we work together can we build a bridge out of fear and shame and into the gospel of grace.

For some of us, there may always be an element of looking in through the window at what we perceive to be the happy whole and holy families. Wishing we could figure out how to have a corner on hope and happy, too. But there is no elusive “magic formula” to get inside that window of belonging. The belonging comes first from healing our vertical relationship with our Heavenly Father. There’s always a wistful longing for that we will never have. That being said, healing relational wounding comes with healing relationally. Living in trusted community goes such a long way to accepting the unconditional love of our Heavenly Father and others.

Part of GraceStory conferences are the access to our FREE, caring confidential support team! This team is made up of licensed pro counselors, pastors, & life coaches - all here volunteering their weekend to be a listening ear and a grounding presence as you take steps towards changing your family legacies. Come join us as we do this - TOGETHER!
