Surviving Spiritual Abuse Part 2: Interview with Francesca McDowall
02/25/21 • 130 min
This message of overcoming spiritual abuse is so necessary right now. And in light of recent events, I thought it absolutely necessary to bring Francesca McDowall back on to the show to talk about how we recover from spiritual abuse, especially in light of recent events.
I stress, whilst we mention the exposure of the late Ravi Zacharias, this is intended only to help others avoid these situations and heal. We are all about soul healing and I encourage everyone to pray for Ravi Zacharias's family and the ministry.
In this episode you'll learn:
- How to be spiritually aware and test the spirits according to Psalm 146:3-5
- Fran's experience of spiritual abuse and how God lead her to write the book
- How to heal and help others heal after spiritual abuse
- What being an enabler of spiritual abuse looks like, even when you think you're not a participant
- How to ensure we don't put our guard up so much we lock out the good. We talk about what it looks like to be interdependent and not either independent, dependent or codependent.
- What forgiveness looks like and why it's so necessary - even if you never get an apology
The Influential Woman PinkPrint - Get your message seen, heard and out there!

Getting Real and Raw About Mental Health
As a family who has experienced the deep distress of suicide in 2018, we wanted to bust some myths about mental health and what people "think" suicidal people "look like" compared to what is going on beneath the surface that the biggest broadest laugh will never reveal.
In this special episode of The Influential Woman Podcast Live, you get a glimpse into our living room as myself, my cousin, Sharron and my baby girl, Elodie talk about:
- mental health awareness
- Meghan and Harry interview with Oprah, but we only touch on this... our conversation goes deeper than Meghan and Harry
- our personal experience of suicide
This episode is for everyone who has had suicidal thoughts and for the families and loved ones of those left behind after a loss through suicide.
If you or someone you know would like prayer, please go to https://www.theinfluentialwoman.com/prayer. It will be our pleasure to stand in prayer with you.
