“Jesus would publicly call out people in the faith community who are guilty for hurting/violating others. He wouldn't sit back in silence. He wouldn't bury the evidence. Or cover up abuse. In addition, He would never ignore, condemn, or ostracize those who've suffered trauma. He wouldn't say, “Get over it.” JesusSexual AbuseReligious AbuseChurch HurtChurch TooChurch TraumaPredator PastorsPredator PriestsToxic FaithChurch Cover Up Book:Sacred Wandering: Growing Your Faith In The Dark Source: Sacred Wandering: Growing Your Faith In The Dark
