The Roys Report

First time listener and was recommended your podcast on Spotify today. I listened to the episode titled “The Body of Christ Keeps the Score” with the guest Kayleigh Clark, discussing the impacts of communal suffering and trauma. This was so thoughtful and thought provokingly beautiful. I am a huge fan of the book the title references, “The Body Keeps the Score”, and cannot seem to stop engaging in trauma informed content related to the American church, as it caused a lot of trauma in my own life and story. I am so encouraged by this conversation and there was one example and quote about how Jesus interacted with hurting people out of a beautiful, humble posture of compassionate curiosity. And how that posture is so beautiful and a model for people and pastors to lead being trauma informed and compassionately curious. Very thankful to have stumbled across this today and looking forward to listening more.

I so appreciate the hard work the Roy’s report team does investigating and interviewing persons related to abuse in the church. We as Christians have been told to not talk about things because it shames the name of Christ. Jesus warned us that there would be wolves so we would deal with them. Wolves can only be dealt with to protect Christ’s Holy name by holding them accountable to prevent further abuse. This podcast gives that opportunity to be wise, to be heard, to bring healing.

Now when will you talk to Megan Basham?

Just listen to her intro! She thinks she’s “reporting the truth and restoring the Church”??? Where’s the trashcan, I may vomit..
