Part 3 in my series on evangelical child abuse is going to be about breaking the cycle. The hard work people have done to deconstruct. To parent differently - their children, and themselves. It will be hard to write, but I hope meaningful.
I have been moved beyond measure by the responses to my reporting. There is so much pain. And to be seen and recognized - to be told they deserved better - holds meaning. Part 1 of the series, which offers historical and doctrinal background, is here: theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/ministry-of-…
Part 2, which examines the long term effects of God-endorsed child abuse on romantic relationships and sexualities, is here: theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/ministry-of-…
As a woman it is rarely permitted to be proud of yourself in public. But I am proud of the work I've done. Not just seeking out pain, but shaping it into stories. That's what this profession is, at its best. If you want to support this work, subscribe: theswordandthesandwich.substack.com
