WHEN A NARCISSIST WEARS A CROSS
Some people don’t find God.
They find God’s people.
Because faith communities are full of empathy, forgiveness, compassion, and hope — and to a covert narcissist, those aren’t spiritual qualities…
They’re tools.
This type doesn’t come in loud.
They come humble.
Soft-spoken.
Quoting scripture.
Talking about “conviction,” “growth,” and “God changed me.”
But watch the pattern.
They use:
• scripture to silence you
• “forgiveness” to avoid accountability
• “submission” to control you
• prayer talk to cover manipulation
And the moment you question behavior, it becomes:
“You’re attacking me.”
“You’re not walking in love.”
“You’re being rebellious.”
That’s not faith.
That’s spiritual framing.
A covert narcissist doesn’t worship God.
They worship control.
They know empathic, God-fearing people:
• want to see the good
• want to help
• want to believe in redemption
So they perform transformation, not live it.
But here’s where the story shifts.
When an empath grows…
when they stop confusing faith with tolerance…
when they learn boundaries are not sin…
The manipulation stops working.
The narcissist loses supply.
And that’s when their mask slips:
anger, blame, victim-playing, guilt, scripture twisting.
Because exposure threatens control.
Teaching moment:
Real faith produces humility, accountability, and consistent character.
Fake faith produces performance, control, and spiritual guilt.
So when you wake up, you don’t argue theology.
You don’t try to “save” them.
You withdraw access.
Because even God gives people free will —
and consequences.
Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do
is walk away from someone using God’s name to hurt you.
ENGAGE: Have you ever seen religion used as a control tactic instead of a path to growth?
