I met Jimmy a year ago through the Give Her Wings Academy. Since that time, I have listened to every esisode of the podcast he and his sweet mama, Clara, have recorded. This family had been through the fires of hell and chose to come out and carry back buckets of water for the masses still consumed by flames. They speak out against sexual abuse and call the church to do the same. In this episode, Jimmy shares some of his story, and speaks of the foundation of God’s kingdom (righteousness and justice). He also shares how churches should respond to abusers (wolves) based on that foundation. For more resources, go to https://jimmyhinton.org/.
