Detraumatizing Matthew 18

Have you had this verse decontextualized and weaponized against you?

“If your brother sins against you… between you and him alone.”

Too many faith leaders have used Matthew 18:15 not to reconcile in the aftermath of harm, but to control and manipulate relationships.

Tomorrow I’m leading a session on understanding Matthew 18 in broader context, getting clear on what it addresses (and doesn’t), and gaining confidence in knowing how (or if!) this passage applies today. You can register here.

October 23, 11am-12:30pm Eastern Time via Zoom. $35, with scholarships available here.
