092 - We Too (With Mary DeMuth)
Sexual abuse has been a hot topic this year, but its so much more than just a church debate. There are real people with real trauma who want more than anything to be able to share their stories, to help others, to heal, and to be heard. The Christian community has been silent long enough. Its time to give victims of sexual abuse a voice and allow them to be heard.
This week, we are talking with Mary DeMuth, author of We Too. Mary is an abuse survivor turned advocate for those who have been sexually abused. She has a heart to see the church unite in an uprising to help those who have been victimized as well as to help educate us on this pressing issue.
This week we talked about:
Sexual abuse
Finding your victory through trauma
SBC allegations
Complementarianism vs Egalitarianism
When to leave church after abuse
Community as a part of your healing
Mental shifts that takes place within an abuse survivor
Why did God allow bad things to happen
Healing better together
pornography and sex culture’s attribution toward sexual abuse
allowing room for forgiveness when the time is right
GUEST INFO:
If you met Mary DeMuth today, her joy might confuse you. Who she has become in light of tragedy is a testimony of Jesus’s ability to transform a broken life. A child of three divorces, a victim of repeated sexual assault at five-years old, with a father who died when she was ten, Mary wanted to end her life in her teens. In the tenth grade, she heard about Jesus, and she knew she wanted to chase after Him for the rest of her life. Thankfully, He chased her.
Mary is the author of forty books, including her latest: We Too: How the Church Can Respond Redemptively to the Sexual Abuse Crisis (Harvest House 2019). She has spoken around the world about God’s ability to transform a life, bringing needed freedom to her audiences. She’s been on CNN and featured in The Washington Post, and she’s spoken in Munich, Johannesburg, Port au Prince, Geneva and Monte Carlo, and planted a church with her family in southern France.
Her best work? Being a mom to three amazing young adults and the wife of 28 years to Patrick. She makes her home in Dallas alongside her husband, an energetic chocolate lab, and a fuzzy black cat.
