In today’s episode, we have a discussion that continues the vital exploration of church trauma. Joined by Doug English, Vice President for Administration at the Rocky Mountain Conference, this episode delves deep into how churches have historically handled—or mishandled—cases of abuse. It shines a light on the cultural and policy shifts that have strengthened protections, improved accountability, and emphasized the church’s profound moral obligation to safeguard the vulnerable.

Drawing on decades of pastoral and administrative experience, Doug openly reflects on past failures in addressing abuse, discussing the legal, ethical, and spiritual imperatives for mandatory reporting and swift action. Whether you’ve been personally affected by abuse or want to ensure your church fosters a safer, more responsible environment, this episode provides candid insights, actionable guidance, and an urgent call for accountability, compassion, and transformative change. Tune in for a powerful conversation that can help shape healthier communities of faith.
