A pastor named Alan Scott of The Dwelling Place has dozens of allegations of spiritual abuse. Fraud, body shaming, manipulation, telling follower he can see their secret sin. Scott claims to hear directly from God about "The Wolves" podcast in this episode. He warns his congregation and tells them to "repent" for listening. The episode also interviews Nicole, a former member of Scott's church.
Paul Martin is a former pastor who works as a human rights advocate. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in philosophy from UCLA and Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.
The Wolves is for anyone interested in religion, Jesus, or the psychology around power abuse. It is also for survivors of trauma, including spiritual abuse. Covering current cases of abuse in the church today, The Wolves will highlight the sinister paradox of those who display sincerity, conviction, and knowledge and who can even claim to hear the very voice of God himself, YET at the very same time abuse they claim to love.
