Hurt and Healed by the Church

We are excited to be joined by author and adventurer, Ryan George! Ryan recently wrote and published the book “Hurt and Healed by the Church” which details his life as a pastor’s kid whose father was a pastor in the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) church. Ryan’s story is unique in that his father engaged of multiple acts of clergy sexual abuse with children. But instead of keeping that story ‘in the dark’, Ryan has supported his father’s victims, brought the truth into the light, and has created a life for himself opposite of his father’s path. To follow Ryan’s work or purchase his book, check out the links: Ryan’s books: www.booksbyryan.comFind Ryan on Instagram: @ryplane Ryan’s blog: www.Explorience.orgThis podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.
