As a survivor (now thriver), Lauren Rose advocates for women who are victims of coercive control, domestic abuse, and sexual abuse. Her desire for truth and justice led her to become Jane Doe IV in the lawsuit against Bill Gothard. She currently works full-time for Called to Peace Ministries, a domestic abuse advocacy, as Communications Coordinator, where she loves providing education, support, hope, and peace for those impacted by abuse. “Abuse and coercion may have been part of my story, but it isn’t the end. What I’ve experienced now drives me to use my voice, knowledge, and understanding to let others know it doesn’t have to be the end of your story either.”
