Our Story & Mission

Our journey began when I was unable to find any other women like me dealing with the aftermath of spiritual manipulation. This was back in May 2020, and not many knew of the practices of the Word of Faith movement then. As I observed everything going on, I saw many looking for answers on how to help their loved ones caught in the practices of this silent movement. Yet, few still knew it existed. I was still struggling to untangle myself from all of the false beliefs I had retained while trying to figure out how to discern truth from error. Though married, it was still just me and God, and I had tremendously hurt my husband repeatedly.

I knew I wanted to be a woman to other women like what I needed at that time should it ever be needed. So, I set out to learn the things that would equip me as such. I saw, and continue to see, how manipulated interpretations of Scripture and misuse of spiritual authority were leaving deep wounds in people's souls, often distorting people's relationship with God and their understanding of faith.

Guided by a passion for truth and a heart for the hurting, I embarked on a mission to create a safe haven where survivors of spiritual trauma and abuse could find healing, hope, and renewed faith. Once the Lord restored my marriage, my husband joined me on this journey. Now, we work together.

At Graceful Truth, we understand that the path to recovery requires more than just acknowledging the pain—it demands a return to the true essence of God's Word and the development of spiritual discernment. We believe that the Bible, when properly understood and applied, is the ultimate source of healing and wisdom.

Our approach combines:

Compassionate support for those who have experienced spiritual abuse/manipulation.
In-depth, contextual Bible study to rediscover God's true character and intentions
Training in spiritual discernment to recognize manipulation and false teachings

Our brand story is one of restoration and empowerment. We walk alongside individuals as they rebuild their faith on a foundation of truth, helping them distinguish between human distortions and divine love. Through our resources, counseling, and community support, we've seen countless lives transformed—moving from confusion and pain to clarity and purpose.
At Graceful Truth, we're not just addressing a problem; we're fostering a movement of informed, discerning believers who can stand firm in their faith and help others do the same. Our vision is a Christian community where spiritual abuse is recognized and prevented, where the Bible is studied with wisdom and context, and where every believer is equipped with the tools of discernment.

Join us in our mission to illuminate truth and heal hearts, one precious soul at a time.

We have been married for over twenty years, and we have an adult daughter. Ma'Nika experienced a lot of spiritual manipulation (she admits this is by much of her own doing) over a period of eleven years. Now, our aim is to bridge the gap between women and the lack of resources available for those coming out of these circumstances in the body of Christ. Our hope is to equip them with applicable studies and tools to address the challenges that come from this, such as their identity in Christ, consistent spiritual development, and long-term discipleship.
