EP 17 | Break the Silence on Sexual Abuse in a Church by Talking about Pornography and the Men of God

So, pornography. . . it's everywhere and, perhaps, the favorite Christian sin. Its destruction is in the church and healing is available through Christ. I read from my memoir and journal in this episode. Break the Silence with me. Find the healing with me.

EP 16 | Healing from Sexual Abuse within the Church

 
Thinking back now does it seem off? That moment. Those moments as a child, a vulnerable teenager when the pastor touched you. When he said you were so special. Looking back as an adult now with children of your own, it begins to dawn on you that something was wrong. You would never want the minister to touch your kid or talk to your kid that way.
Does this sound familiar? Join me today as we face the truth and find the healing! 
It is my honor to join you in healing from this type of abuse. God and I love you!!!
Love, Laurie

EP 13| Religious Trauma, Church Abuse, and the Sin-Leveling Idea to Silence Victims with Author, Teacher, Coach, Speaker Laurie

Silencing the victims is a common tactic. It happens IN the church, too. Join guest, Dr. Jessica Gomez, as we talk about how "sin-leveling" works to keep the church abused quiet. Dr. Gomez is a professor of psychology who currently teaches the Psychology of Family and Domestic Violence among other classes and comes to this topic personally as a divorced Christian mother of two.
We mention the following resources in this episode:  author, Rebecca Davis' Untwisting the Scriptures: Wolves, Hypocrisy, and Sin Leveling book. Julie Roys' podcast: The Roys Report. Patrick Weaver Ministries.
