When Rules Break the Soul - The Cost of Silence

The rules were supposed to protect her. Instead, they broke her. Jacqueline reflects on how early se*ual abuse, silenced by shame and reinforced by religious hypocrisy, shaped her path. Shock over the church’s abuse scandals cracked her illusions wide open and set her on a quest for truth—one that led to the hidden gospels of Mary, Thomas, and Philip. This episode exposes the cost of silence when institutions use God’s name to control, and what it takes to find love beyond the rules.
