#129 Fringe to Mainstream - Dangers of Dogmatism (S7E3)

As Christy continues her series on how the fringe of conservative Christianity is becoming mainstream, she reviews the latest episode of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast. Listening to host Mike Cosper and author and therapisdt Dan Allender discuss spiritual abuse, narcissism, and trauma, Christy realized something. She knows what it is about certain elements of Evangelical Christianity that makes her cringe and think of her cult days. It's dogmatism -- the confident belief that we are right and they are wrong. 

Mike and Dan talk about the fear and uncertainty behind dogmatic beliefs and why people follow a dogmatic leader. This is exactly what Christy sees in the church these days, across politics, and through out social media. We are afraid and we are looking for security and certainty.
