S1E1: What the Hell Happened?

from Spiritual Pyro · host Sarah Carter and Corinne Shark

S1E1: What The Hell HappenedYou are about to hear the personal experiences of Sarah Carter and Corinne Shark, told by them, in their own words. Sarah's husband is the former lead teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois. At the time of his service, more than 25k congregants gathered at Willow Creek each weekend to worship. In 2018, multiple women came forward to assert that the founding pastor of Willow Creek had been engaging in sexual misconduct for decades. The fallout of this hit many lives, including Sarah’s. Corinne's husband is a former lead investigator for The Exodus Road, a non-profit whose website states they are “on the front lines of the fight to end human trafficking.” When the Sharks encountered a culture of inappropriate sexual behavior by organization leadership in 2017, they attempted to address it internally. They paid dearly for that act. This is Sarah's story. This is Corinne's story. Let the women speak.TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexual assault, sexual violenceTo connect with Sarah or Corinne, find them on Instagram: @heysarahcarter @thesaltyshark @sarahandcorinne  For more information about Spiritual Pyro, visit www.spiritualpyro.com. Pick up your copy of the skies are full of us at bookshop.org or your favorite bookstore.
