Linda Kramer spent 30 years inside the world of Christian Science. A Principia College graduate and dedicated follower of the faith, she never imagined she'd walk awayâuntil her love for God and Scripture led her to a shocking realization: Christian Science wasnât biblical. Linda has since become a powerful advocate for helping others recover from the distortions of CS theology. She served for years with the Christian Way Ministry and authored the book Perfect Peril: Christian Science and Mind Control, which uses Dr. Robert Liftonâs criteria for thought reform to evaluate the psychological and spiritual impact of Mary Baker Eddyâs teachings.
In this eye-opening conversation, Peter and Linda dive deep into the spiritual, emotional, and psychological cost of Christian Science. Both raised in the faith, they share their personal journeys of awakeningâfirst through Scripture, and ultimately through encounters with the true Jesus of the Bible. Linda unpacks how CS distorts biblical language, undermines core Christian doctrines, and fits the classic profile of a thought reform system (aka cult). Together, they lovingly challenge listeners to examine what theyâve been taught and consider the real JesusâGod incarnateâas revealed in the Bible.
If youâve ever questioned Christian Scienceâor just felt a gnawing tension between its teachings and what youâre reading in the Bibleâthis episode is for you. We donât ask you to take our word for it. Go to the Bible yourself. Ask God to reveal the truth. And if you're ready to take the next step, Lindaâs book Perfect Peril is a powerful companion to help you discern whatâs true, whatâs not, and why it matters eternally.
