  • Breaking the Silence (GRACE Report Interviewee) - Sheri Cotuna

    Breaking the Silence (GRACE Report Interviewee) - Sheri Cotuna
    Apr 28 2025

    In this powerful episode, Sheri Cotuna shares her harrowing experience of sexual abuse while a student at Bob Jones University and the subsequent mishandling of her case by the university administration. Sheri is featured in GRACE's investigation report of Bob Jones University. In the episode, she recounts her traumatic encounter, the dismissive and shaming responses from university officials, and the lack of support and justice. She highlights the systemic issues within the institution, touching upon the broader pattern of abuse cover-ups and the school's harmful teachings on accountability and counseling. Despite the trauma and abuse, Sheri's story is a beacon of hope and advocacy, urging other survivors to seek real help and challenge the system.

  • 10th Anniversary of the GRACE Report - Uncovered Berg "Counseling" Materials

    10th Anniversary of the GRACE Report - Uncovered Berg "Counseling" Materials
    Dec 11 2024

    Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Grace Report, which investigated Bob Jones University's mishandling of sexual abuse claims. In this episode, I share previously unreleased audio files that reveal the harmful ‘counseling’ by Jim Berg. These files were originally tapes that were given to Sheri Cotuna by Berg for further ‘counseling” for her sexual assault. Additionally, I discuss the ongoing issues and changes at Bob Jones University, as highlighted in an article by the Religion News Service. You'll hear raw, unedited sermons and survivor testimonies, so I urge listeners to be cautious as the content can be very triggering.

very thorough and thoughtful overview

as a BJU grad, it was great to hear such a thorough and clear overview of the school's founding and history from the Bob Jones Sr years through the years I attended (when Bob Jones Jr and the 3rd were leading the charge) to today. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the school, whether past, current or prospective student. This was a great 1st episode and I'm looking forward to more.
