Cynthia and Athena Dean Holtz discuss characteristics of toxic churches. You can’t always trust people just because they are in your church. Be wary of any pastor who fails to be a servant leader.

Matthew 20: 25 -28 “But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
