Intro Episode - Ahhhhhhhh: Everything We Can’t Live With Right Now About Sexual Abuse in the Church

Right Side Up Podcast with Danielle Strickland

We have mixed feelings about this season. We are deeply sad we have to do it AND believe it will HELP us discover things that will lead us toward healing and freedom together! In the latest season of the Right Side Up podcast, we are going there. we can’t sidestep sexual abuse in the church - we need to confront it, understand its complexity and actively work to eradicate it from the church. Many of us have been taught that silence in these matters is protecting the church. But we were wrong. Silence has only perpetuated the problem. So we are breaking the silence and inviting you to join us.

This season dive in with experts on topics like debunking fake confessions, the difference between affairs and abuse, exposing the pattern of grooming, silence and sins of omission, social media pressures, how perpetrators DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender), and more. We’re talking with biblical experts, scholars, survivors, advocates, and a legal expert!
Dive in with us, and please share with your circles so we can learn and heal together. We are praying the light leads us!! New episodes each Monday. Preview episode live now.
