Many people underestimate how subtle and powerful cult mind control can be. Using Steven Hassan’s BITE Model, this video explores four key ways groups manipulate their followers: controlling Behavior, restricting Information, shaping Thoughts, and manipulating Emotions.
The Bible warns that deception can ensnare even well-meaning people. 2 Timothy 2:26 reminds us that God’s truth can set captives free: “And that they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.” Similarly, Ephesians 6:11–12 emphasizes the spiritual battle at the heart of manipulation: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
This video shows how people can unknowingly fall into these snares, why recognizing the tactics is vital, and how the truth of God’s Word provides freedom and protection. Discover practical, biblical guidance for breaking free from mind control, guarding your heart, and walking in the liberty Christ offers. John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
