Recovering from Religious Indoctrination
Posted by Edward Cross on June 19, 2026
Recognizing indoctrination is the first work; recovering from it is the road. Written for two who walk it — the one who was indoctrinated and the one who also taught from that position — it rebuilds on the rightly divided word: the security that frees you to examine, making Paul the measure, the renewing of the mind, and where you will be fed.
