Episode 197: Churches Guarantee Failure When They Defend Abusers

Why are so many churches still insistent on defending abusers? They sit in support of abusers in the courtroom. They tell survivors to move on. They develop policies that protect the abuser. They put them in positions of authority. And they develop "care teams" for the abuser. In this episode, we share what we believe is the #1 contributor to empowering abusers and catapulting abuse to a whole other level. Fortunately, some churches are getting the message and are shifting this culture but we need many more to join the ranks if we are going to extinguish the flames of abuse.
