The Impact of Authoritarian Abuse

40 min • 5 december 2024

In this week’s episode of The Christian Wellbeing Show, host Michelle discusses the impacts and consequences of authoritarian abuse, cultural Marxism and Communism, and its effects on wellbeing.


Speaking from her own experience, and with a focus on historical events like the Cultural Revolution in China, she looks at contemporary examples of increasing authoritarianism in the West. From events over the past few years, Michelle explores how extreme government control leads to widespread harm and fear, using tactics such as propaganda, peer pressure, media manipulation, controlled narratives and mass psychosis. 


Highlighting ten reasons why people may accept or ignore such abuses, such as gaslighting, mistaken understanding of scripture and deception, Michelle encourages the listener that there is hope. She calls for awareness, repentance, prayer, and active resistance against authoritarian regimes, discovering how we can make a contribution, and emphasising the importance of maintaining freedom, truth, and righteousness.
