Megan and Michael have both experienced and observed bullying in the Christian church, in a variety of cross-denominational contexts.

They begin by discussing why it is that the church can become a 'safe place' for this harmful behaviour, and whether or not theology or gender make a difference.

Then they welcome Stephen McAlpine to the program to share his personal experience. Stephen was the victim of a bullying scandal  involving the former CEO of Acts 29, Steve Timmis, during his involvement with The Crowded House church network in the UK.

Finally, with all due respect, Megan and Michael offer a range of approaches to ensure bullying doesn't find a home in your Christian community.
