  • S2 E11: WHY I STAY: When You Feel Betrayed by Church Leaders

    My goodness, when you're not believed by the men you respect and love, and when you've experienced betrayal, deceit and degradation, it's hard to trust anyone anymore or have the courage to speak up. Church leaders are human. And sometimes they get it wrong.

  • S2 E10: DIVORCE DECREE: When Law Interferes with Religion

    Lots of emotions come up when we discuss how the Church stays out of legal stuff, but the courts 100% get involved in church stuff. There is so much anger, resentment, betrayal and pain, but how does one grapple with this when you know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true?

Join us as Julie grapples with believing she must have had something to do with breaking the sealing since he "left because of her." Tune in on how this messes with your brain and the trauma it causes.
