Victims often have a hard time having their voices heard, especially in a church environment where hurt has happened. Dr. Scot McKnight shares what safe churches look like, and how churches with what he calls a "goodness culture" respond to the wounded and marginalized. He also discusses telltale signs of unsafe churches and leaders, and what to take note of if you are trying to find a new church home for the first time. Scot also offers encouragement for victims of abuse who want to share their stories but aren't sure if it's safe to do so.
