Mark didn’t say these words—Nelson Schuman did. But Mark sure did hold them up like the Ten Commandments, reposting the video for his “flock” with all the quiet approval of a man who just found his own reflection in scripture.

To the untrained eye, it looks like just another spiritual message about “abusers” and “victim blaming.”
To anyone who’s been on the receiving end of Mark’s tactics, it reads like a DARVO masterclass—one he’s been teaching for years.

This wasn’t just inspiration—this was confirmation.
A public blessing on the exact behavior Mark’s been told by courts, doctors, and his own kids to stop doing.

From sermon to strategy guide

Nelson lays it out:

• Abusers “hold grudges for what they actually did to you.”
• They “attack their victims.”
• They “accuse others of the very thing they did.”

It’s the kind of list you’d expect to find in a counselor’s office—under the heading How to Spot an Abuser. But here it’s dressed in Bible verses, demon talk, and a “God knows the truth” bow.

For Mark, this isn’t a warning—it’s a mirror. And instead of looking away in shame, he hits share.

The DARVO pep talk

If you’ve ever wondered what “stay the course” sounds like in the Mark Stephens ecosystem, it’s this:
A stranger describing Mark’s own tactics in perfect, sanctified language… and Mark blasting it to his audience like a halftime speech to his team.

“Keep blaming them for your own mess. Keep attacking those you’ve hurt. Keep flipping the script. The Lord is with you.”

No self-reflection. No pause to consider the glaring parallels between the sermon and his own documented behavior—like:

• Undermining his son’s medical care and forcing him to sign a contract denying his diagnosis.
• Publicly attacking exes, coaches, doctors, and even his kids’ sports leagues.
• Turning every consequence into “persecution” while dodging accountability.

The grudge farm

Mark’s feed is basically a greenhouse for grudges.
Every post is a new seed of blame, fertilized with projection, and watered with scripture. Courts, CPS, doctors, coaches, even his own kids—no one escapes a mention. The only common denominator in every “attack” is the man clutching his phone, smiling for the camera, and claiming it’s all being done to him.

It’s the same cycle Dr. Rao described in Liam’s medical records: undermine the professionals, distort the facts, and then declare himself the one under siege.

The Amazon altar call

And just when you think the sermon might be winding down into a moment of quiet conviction—boom. Out comes the sales pitch. Freedom from Soul Wounds and Demons, available on paperback, Kindle, Audible, and Spanish.

Thousands healed, he says. Thousands more confused, watching a man sell “deliverance” from the very behavior his top fan is actively doing.

It’s like an arsonist selling you a book called How to Spot a Firestarter—with his mugshot on the cover. And in this case, you wouldn’t rule out the possibility he actually lit one.

Final blow

The only thing more accurate than Nelson’s description of an abuser is how perfectly it applies to Mark. The grudges he claims to suffer from are the grudges he cultivates. The attacks he warns about are the ones he launches. The victim-blaming he condemns is the foundation of his brand.

And now, with a single repost, he’s turned someone else’s “warning” into a DARVO rally cry.
The irony isn’t subtle. It’s not even hidden. It’s standing on a stage with a microphone, reading his own rap sheet—and then handing out flyers for the book signing.
