JANUARY 26–29, 2026
A self-paced virtual event providing practical resources for recovery from and safeguarding against spiritual abuse.
Join us for our fourth Annual Summit!
Hello, Beloved. Have you ever wondered...
- Will I ever find a safe space for faith again?
- Can I find anyone to hear my story without being given a scripture or promise of prayer?
- How long will I feel stuck with old triggers and carrying the pain of my past?
- What now? Are there any practical steps to move forward with your faith and life?
- Will I ever stop feeling isolated, forgotten, and confused?
- Is there a community of people who understand and want to stop this global issue?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, this Summit is for you.

Meet Your Host
Hi, I'm Brian! I'm a pastor, coach, and speaker.
I'm also a fellow spiritual abuse and religious trauma survivor.
After a three-peat of spiritually abusive environments at the hands of self-ignorant and toxic leadership, it was time to step away from those places for my health and sanity. To quote one of my favorite movies, "I have seen enough to know I have seen too much." (Bonus points if you know the reference.)
Thanks to a few years of counseling and the compassionate witness of others, I've started processing my history of carrying 10+ years of the Complex-PTSD that came with my experience with spiritual abuse and religious trauma as a pastor.
I discovered my own agency and finally felt empowered to make choices for myself, rather than taking a passive role in my own story. With the launch of our Cohort in 2022 and Summit in 2023, Broken to Beloved was born.
Today, I'm honored to be your host and guide through the process of moving through the pain and grief of our stories toward healing and wholeness.
You may feel broken, but you are also beloved. And there's room for you here.

What previous attendees are saying:
I’m SO glad to have found Broken to Beloved and for the work you’re doing.
This truly was life changing for me...and I mean that, really.
As someone who’s experienced deep religious trauma and walked the path of deconstruction / reconstruction, I found this summit incredibly validating.
Thank you so very much for an amazing, encouraging and empowering week.
What a gift.
Well thought out and covered a broad array of topics. I love your gentle way of engaging with your speakers and putting everyone at ease.
I learned more in one session than I learned in 10 years of therapy. I am truly grateful and it came to me exactly when I needed it.
