The work of protecting against and prevening sexual abuse is difficult. Walls aren't popular, but we must build them as part of the work of keeping to the enemy out. Protection also requires building a culture of healthy intimacy and honesty. We should protect our children without becoming slaves to fear.

Victims of sexual abuse carry their scars with them their whole lives, affecting every relationship they have. This makes caring for victims of sexual abuse a delicate and lifelong work. How do we go about it with wisdom, compassion, and courage?

This message, "Sexual Abuse and Godly Women," was given by Tim and Mary Lee Bayly February 18, 2016, at the 2016 Shepherd’s Conference.

The church leader that wades into a case of sexual abuse without the insight, help, and wisdom of his wife is at a great disadvantage. In this session Tim and Mary Lee talk about the necessary work of the wives of elders and pastors in identifying and caring for victims of sexual abuse.

This message, "Recognizing Sexual Abuse," was given by Harry Schaumburg February 18, 2016, at the 2016 Shepherd’s Conference.

Sexual abuse can reign in families and churches unchecked for years while little ones suffer silently—unless there’s someone committed to exposing sin, someone who has their eyes open and knows what to look for. So what are the signs of abuse?

This message, "Sexual Abuse and the Law," was given by "Ezra Hale" February 18, 2016, at the 2016 Shepherd’s Conference. Titled "The Enemy Within: Sexual Abuse in the Church," the conference was sponsored by Warhorn (at the time Clearnote) Media, and held at Trinity Reformed Church in Bloomington, Indiana.

The Bible tells us God gave earthly governments the authority to bear the sword—to punish wickedness and reward righteousness. Although many of these authorities have turned from God’s ways, we must not only submit to those He has placed over us, but trust that He has done so for our good. So what are the legal ramifications of sexual crimes? What are the things that every church leader needs to know?

This message, "Shepherding the Sexual Abuser," was given by Stephen Baker February 18, 2016, at the 2016 Shepherd’s Conference. Titled "The Enemy Within: Sexual Abuse in the Church," the conference was sponsored by Warhorn (at the time Clearnote) Media, and held at Trinity Reformed Church in Bloomington, Indiana.

One of the reasons it’s so painful to bring sexual abuse into the light is that it requires pastors and elders to care not only for victims, but also perpetrators. This is painful and difficult work, complicated by everything from legal ramifications to our own bad consciences.
