Abuse can happen anywhere - including places that are meant to provide safety. This week Alana welcomes Lisa Compton (Instagram) and Taylor Patterson to the podcast. Lisa and Taylor are the authors of the book Skills for Safeguarding. Together they discuss the urgent need for safeguarding in church communities.
Learn how faith-based organizations can better prevent abuse and support trauma survivors, challenging common misconceptions about forgiveness, repentance, and healing within religious settings. This conversation offers practical insights on creating cultures of safety, while providing hope that meaningful change is possible through education and collective action.
