Episode 7: BONUS EPISODE - What Is The Missing Stair?

Send a textHave you ever navigated a staircase, wary of that one perilous step you know to skip? That's the essence of the 'missing stair', an analogy we explore in a special bonus episode of Soul Bruises, which casts light on the often unseen perils within our spiritual communities. We delve into the metaphor's origin and its startling relevance to spiritual abuse, illuminating the dangers of ignoring harmful behaviors that, like a literal missing stair, threaten our collective wellbeing. And for those who have encountered such unsettling realities, know that this discussion is a sanctuary where understanding and healing are at the forefront.Joining the conversation are the Silo Sisters, Phoebe Hunt, Bonnie Sims, and Melody Walker, whose moving lyrics in "The Missing Stair" echo the whispers and warnings of communities that, instead of repairing what's broken, teach newcomers to simply tread carefully. As we unpack the song and its haunting depiction of overlooked hazards, we issue a resounding call to action. It's time to fix these stairs—to confront and correct the predators in disguise. This episode is more than a conversation; it's an invitation to become an active participant in the transformation of our spiritual spaces. YouTube link for the song "The Missing Stair" by the Silo Sistershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPNh-ZIdaYk"Be Human, Be Kind, Be Both."
