Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a Biblical look at responding to manipulative people. Many women struggle with feeling controlled or strongly influenced by manipulative friendships, and it can be confusing to know how to respond to this challenge in a healthy and Christ-centered way. As Christians, we are to be controlled only by the Spirit of God, rather than by human manipulation. In this episode, Leslie shares three Biblical keys to becoming set free from manipulation. If you have struggled with being manipulated, you will be amazed and the freedom and joy you find once you allow God to remove the unhealthy control of others over your life, so that you can make yourself completely and fully available to Him.

This episode casts a vision for ministry that goes the distance.

In this episode, she also unpacks key Biblical truths that can help us combat the lies of the enemy when he attacks us in the area of insecurity and self-esteem.
