Some Red Flags that Give the RASN Away

3 John 1:9 I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. RASNs are not rare. I group these four toxic types together in this RASN acronym (Revilers, abusers, sociopaths, narcissists) because, for instance, narcissists revile (abusive speech), they…
