This is The Gentle Rise
a transition from trauma into restoration,
from captivity into clarity,
from surviving into being God-raised.

The table is still here.
The soil is still holy.
And Jesus is still the one holding it all together.

A quiet entry point for survivors of rare spiritual predation — and a path toward language that was never meant to be concealed.

There are harms so rare, so disorienting, so quietly devastating… they leave no language behind.

For years, I tried to make sense of what was done in the name of light.
Tried to find a word for the way someone could enter gently, speak like God, mirror the truth —
and still leave your soul in collapse.

I wasn’t confused.
I was tethered.
And when Jesus severed that tether, I began to see it all clearly.

What followed wasn’t a story.

It was a structure.

And what grew from that structure is now this:
a survivor-authored glossary for the rarest form of spiritual predation.

This is for the ones who couldn’t name it.
The ones who felt it but were told it wasn’t real.
The ones who are still trying to breathe through what was never meant to be survived.


Spoken aloud in freedom.
Published as a timestamp.
Sealed as a witness.

If you’re not ready yet, that’s okay.
It will be here when you are.

You are seen.
You are safe.
You are not alone.
