When The Shepherd Abuses The Flock

By: Kpou, Solomon

The flock belongs to Christ. Every shepherd will give an account. For countless believers, church was meant to be a refuge. But what happens when the person behind the pulpit becomes the source of the wound? What happens when spiritual authority becomes a weapon and loyalty to a leader is placed above loyalty to Christ? In When the Shepherd Abuses the Flock, Pastor Solomon Kpou confronts spiritual abuse with honesty, compassion and biblical clarity. Honouring the many faithful shepherds who serve sacrificially, he shows why the Church must have the courage to confront those who are unfaithful. Drawing on Ezekiel 34 and Jesus, the Good Shepherd, this book explains what abuse looks like in a church setting, why calling must be matched by character and accountability, and why cheap forgiveness and "moving on" too quickly leave survivors wounded twice. It also gives leaders clear guidelines for listening well, reporting abuse and putting survivors first. For pastors, elders, churches and every believer who has been hurt by those who should have protected them, this book offers hope that the Church can return to the heart of the Good Shepherd. Written not to condemn the Church, but to call it back to Christ.
