The Courageous Inner Beast

Episode 79: Why Are They Enabling It?!? ft Sandy Kirkham


Listen Later

A church is where an insecure sixteen-year-old girl should feel welcome, happy, and most importantly, safe. Tragically for some, the church can become a place of great harm. Sandy Phillips Kirkham experienced the deceit and lies that come with being the victim of a wolf in sheep's clothing… her church’s youth minister. After decades of keeping her deep secret, Sandy discovered her voice and has made it her life’s work to be an advocate for others. Sandy continues to use her voice to help victims of clergy abuse.

She is a highly requested speaker, podcast guest and media liaison on the topic. Sandy has spoken before the Ohio Senate, a Maryland court, and appeared on a local television show in Boston. Her story, “Stolen Innocence,” was told in a documentary produced by The Hope of Survivors. Sandy works with survivors conducting victim support conferences. She has participated on panels moderated by SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), sharing her perspective from the non-Catholic point of view.
