In this episode, host Rachel Bernstein speaks with Mike and Abbi Prussack, who left the 2x2 church after a faith crisis. They discuss the challenges of leaving and uncovering widespread sexual abuse within the church, catalyzed by a leaked letter in 2023. The couple, along with their friends Kyle and Kari, started a support group for survivors and have been documenting abuse claims. They shed light on the control mechanisms within the church, the emotional and psychological impact on members, and their ongoing efforts to provide support and validation for abuse survivors. Their work highlights the power of giving a voice to the voiceless and the importance of speaking out against systemic abuse.
