Episode Synopsis

Today on the show, we're talking about a difficult, but important topic. Abuse. And more specifically, abuse in the church community.  We'll explore how church culture can sometimes enable abuse, how to prevent it and how to best respond when it happens.  Our guests are Jaymie Friesen and Val Hiebert, Abuse Response and Prevention coordinators for MCC in Manitoba. This episode deals with sensitive subject matter. We talk about abuse, including sexual abuse, and misuses of power. While no graphic details are included, take care while listening.
