S3 E29: Tom Rundel: Recognize High Control Religious Language

Liminal Living

Take Aways

• Liminality is the space between what was and what will be, where we are trying to figure out how to be in a rapidly changing world.
• High-control religious environments can be toxic and manipulative, exerting authority over individuals and stifling personal growth.
• It is important to recognize and reject religious jargon that seeks to control and manipulate others.
• Reclaiming common human experiences, such as compassion, honesty, and justice, can help transcend religious boundaries and foster understanding.
• When confronted with high-control individuals, it is important to remember that you are not crazy, not engage in their games, and find a way to exit the conversation.
