How to Choose a Pastor - and Avoid Spiritual Abuse

John and Chino discuss what makes a true pastor versus a false one, tracing how cult movements like Hobart Freeman's Faith Assembly distorted the gospel into a "health and wealth" message. They examine how trauma from authoritarian churches shapes what people look for when finding a new congregation—and why "signs of a healthy church" lists can be dangerous when written by unhealthy leaders. Through personal stories and biblical insight, they break down why empathy, sound teaching, and genuine care matter more than charisma, claimed miracles, or titles like "apostle" and "prophet."
