The SHE-Team discusses the documentary film "For Our Daughters," from Kristin DuMez, author of Jesus and John Wayne. The film documents stories of sexual abuse within the evangelical church culture. The team shares their reactions to the film with a particular focus on the church's inadequate responses and the abuse of power, particularly by men, and the silencing of women's voices. Rehearsing the stories they heard in the film, the team discusses themes of power dynamics, toxic masculinity, the church's inadequate response to abuse, the misuse of theology to justify male dominance, and the need for institutional change and accountability for crimes overlooked by church leadership. Finally, the Team offers advice to women on how to respond to abuse and how churches might address these issues.
