We Too: How the Church Can Respond Redemptively to the Sexual Abuse Crisis

Today’s episode is a must listen. Mary DeMuth is the author of We Too: How the Church can Respond Redemptively to Sexual Abuse, and spends the first half of this conversation walking Heather through her own story. Mary is committed to equipping churches with tools to be able to navigate these conversations with grace. 

Mary and Heather also discuss how Scripture is a redemptive story that can encourage the most burdened, which is why Mary is so passionate about Bible reading. 

Heather and Mary also navigate the importance of knowing the story of Scripture, which can help shape your own story in both grace and truth.
