“God told me to manipulate you.” 😳 Yeah… we’re talking about that kind of spiritual abuse.
In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph dive into one of the most misused tools in church culture: claiming God’s voice to control people. From cults to Sunday sermons, we ask the hard questions:
🔍 What is spiritual abuse?
📖 Are there examples of it in the Bible?
🧠 Is the term being overused—or not used enough?
🙋♂️ Has Pastor Joseph ever witnessed it? Or… been guilty of it?
This one’s real, raw, and necessary. Whether you’ve been hurt by a church or just want to understand the line between healthy authority and manipulation, we’ve got you.

🎙️ Welcome to the "When I Heard This" Podcast, where faith meets funny! 🎙️
Ever find yourself scratching your head at Sunday service, pondering life's unanswerable questions like, "Is it a sin to double-dip at church potlucks?" or "Did Moses really part the Red Sea, or was it just low tide?" Well, you're not alone! 🤣
Meet our dynamic duo:
👔 Pastor Joseph Tillman, M.Div. - Theologically trained, spiritually profound, and can absolutely rock the pulpit like no other. He's here to navigate us through the labyrinth of church doctrine with the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job (mostly because he has to put up with Nate).
🎭 Nate Robinsoff - Comedian, lifelong Christian, and self-proclaimed "Most Likely to Be Kicked Out of a Bible Study for Asking Too Many Questions." He's got inquiries, jokes, and probably some heretical thoughts, but don't worry, the Pastor's got him in check.
Together, they embark on a podcast journey that traverses the intricacies of Christianity...
