Behind the Pulpit

As the wife of the pastor of Divine Revelations, which was one of the fastest-growing churches in her city, it seemed like Pasha had it all. With her husband, she conducted superlative worship services filled with the Holy Spirit. Their church made the couple popular as their house of worship was well known for its music and excellent services. People saw Pasha and Rick as a united power couple, but they had no idea it was only an image. While they lived in a beautiful home in a pristine, gated community overlooking the city, Rick was competitive, combative, and belittling-in that order. Most days, especially Sundays, he was verbally abusive, assaulting everyone around him, but reserving most of his bark for Pasha and her son, Loren. As a coping mechanism, she started tuning Rick out and living like a zombie until one day, she decided she needed to make a change.
