Raised in a strict fundamentalist family, Marc-Henri Sandoz Paradella studied theology in Geneva and then worked as a successful pastor in an evangelical church. After 15 years of pursuing this life mission, he came to realize the narrow-mindedness of his faith and the sufferings and frailties that were hidden behind the cover of religion. Then he decided to resign. However, it was only years later, as a result of dramatic life circumstances, that he became fully aware of the hidden dynamics of toxic spirituality that were still poisoning him from the inside. Toxic Jesus is a thought-provoking book rooted in the author’s deep personal experience. It shows how religion can become toxic and promote shame, guilt, and repression.
Join us today as we talk with Marc-Henri about his journey and the truths that he learned along the way. It's a hopeful story of inner healing and a renewed spiritual experience.
