You may have noticed that we deleted an episode. This was thanks to a church threatening a guest we had on and we all decided it was safest for her if we just removed the episode. Sadly, this is common practice for churches. They routinely bully, intimidate, threaten, and scare survivors into silence. And all of this is "in the name of God."

In this episode, we address this plague that is within the diseased church culture. We also offer these 5 tips for churches to avoid these abusive techniques:
1. Believe survivors
2. Let survivors tell their story, even if it makes you (the church) look bad
3. Ask what you can do to do better
4. Ask for the survivor's help
5. Ask what the survivor needs

Just doing these 5 things would be a complete game changer both for the church and for the survivor. This isn't rocket science. So why are so many churches STILL getting it so wrong?
