So glad God directed me to you! I am eternally blessed!
Deeply appreciate Kris and her no nonsense approach. Too many Christians excuse and distance themselves from the true damage of narcissism with platitudes and indifference. The church is the perfect place for a narcissist to attain supply, flourish, and work against the people of God.
Thanks for being my wisdom accelerator and being there for me, lightening the darkest period of my life.
I never had a great relationship w my mom and finding this podcast was the best thing ever. Thank you! I feel less guilty now…
❤️❤️❤️
