In part 2 we talk about the rise in number of abusers being outed by their victims and why this alone isn't enough to keep kids safe. We give our thoughts on the SBC's Caring Well curriculum and why we believe it will continue to enable abusers.

Is it possible to spot abusers more easily? Most people say that it is incredibly difficult to detect abusers. But what if we use a different method? If we learn what their "tells" are, do you think it's possible to detect abusers more easily? Find out in this episode!

The most important thing that is often overlooked is how to identify abusers. We focus on background checks, making spaces more visible, adding more adults to oversee children, etc. But are these effective or are they myths that help perpetuate abuse? Find out in this episode!

The church in the US is in decline. The Barna Institute did a 2016 study that shows only about 35% of Americans participate in church anymore, despite the fact that over 70% claim that they are Christians. Is there a direct link between church decline and abuse, or are there other major factors? We have high hope that artificial community is deteriorating, while authentic church community will be on the rise.

People who have left organized religion often feel like (or are told) that they are not part of the church anymore. This nonsense should motivate us even more to stay united and provide community for one another. In this episode, we share our hope and the direction we think the church will go (and it's great news!).
