Ep 28: The Anaheim Vineyard: Leadership Ethics, Honor Culture, & Spiritual Abuse

On episode 28, Luke Geraty and Wesley McLachlan discuss the Anaheim Vineyard and how it disassociated from the Vineyard, becoming Dwelling Place Anaheim. We cover the unethical process, how honor culture influenced the situation (and manipulated people), and why Luke's stood strong on his statement that this is spiritually abusive.
