WHEN THE SPEAR IS THROWN Surviving, Healing, and Emerging from Toxic Leadership
THE JAVELIN FOUND ITS MARK. BUT IT DIDN'T KILL YOU.
You're still breathing. Still bleeding. Still wondering why.
The leader you trusted most became the predator you feared least. The hand that once blessed you now grips the weapon aimed at your heart. And you're left standing in the wreckage, asking the question that haunts every betrayed soul:
"How did I not see this coming?"
You did everything right. You served with excellence. You loved without limits. You honored without question. And still—the javelin came.
If you've ever been hunted by the very person you were called to serve, you've found your survival guide.
Dr. Delisa Rodgers knows this battlefield intimately. As both trauma-informed healer and apostolic teacher, she's walked wounded warriors through the treacherous terrain of toxic leadership, spiritual abuse, and the psychological warfare that follows betrayal.
Dr. Delisa takes you into the eye of the storm—the volatile triangle of Saul, David, and Jonathan—where you'll discover that your story isn't unique. It's biblical. It's documented. And most importantly—it's survivable.
You'll learn the survival intelligence that kept David alive:
- Why the attack was never about you—understanding the abuser's internal war
- The "gray rock" strategy hidden in David's responses and how it protects your sanity
- How to identify your Jonathan—the covenant friend God sends into your furnace
- When biblical honor demands distance—and how to leave without guilt
- The difference between healing and deepening the wound—vertical vs. horizontal processing
- How God weaponizes your worst experiences into your greatest ministry
The javelin was meant to silence you. Instead, it's sharpening you.
You are not the victim of your story—you're the survivor who will teach others how to dodge the spears. Your wounds aren't disqualifications; they're your credentials.
Every javelin-dodger needs a guide who's been in the cave.
Stop surviving. Start emerging.
