"Baptistland" interview with Christa Brown S6Bonus1
Christa Brown is a self-described Baptist clergy sex abuse survivor. But she's so much more. Christa has devoted years of her life to shining a light on the widespread systemic problem of clergy sex abuse and church coverups in what she calls "Baptistland". That's the title of her new book, which was released earlier this week. Christa also wrote "This Little Light", and I had the honor of speaking with her so that we could let more people find ways to make their churches safer physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
"According to Child USA, a leading think tank for the rights of children, fifty-two is the
average age of a person bringing forward a report of childhood sexual abuse. I
was fifty-one. The mental hurdles are huge. Many child sex abuse victims wait until after the perpetrator has died, and many never disclose their childhood abuse. Many
never even recognize that what they experienced was abuse." - Christa Brown
Highlights from this episode include:
- Exploding the myth that "that doesn't happen in MY church"
