Called to Courage, the podcast where Christians speak up to share their stories of hurt, betrayal, or injustice. In each episode, we’ll hear from individuals or families who faced giants in their church, school, workplace, relationships, or home. In raw, long-form conversations, we’ll explore their struggles, triumphs, and everything in between. Called to Courage is a podcast for those ready to be emboldened, empowered, and reminded that truth will always rise. If you’ve ever felt like you couldn’t speak up, this is your call to courage.

001 - Speaking Up and Speaking Out

"Speaking out is different than speaking up, right? Speaking up is saying, 'Hey, this is not right. What is happening here?' And speaking out is saying to all of you, 'Here's a word of caution for you. Please take note of what has happened. How can you protect your family differently than I was able to protect mine?'"

My name is Linsey Hammon. I'm your host and that quote is from this episode where I share an overview of why the Called to Courage Podcast exists.

I'm a wife, mom, learner, reader, helper, introvert, child life specialist, grief counselor, encourager, and Christian who never imagined members of my immediate family would be mistreated and abused in the church we called home for 14 years. I never dreamed those damaging experiences would lead me to also become an advocate, speaker, ambassador, shepherd, nonprfit leader, and podcaster in the space of spiritual abuse.

Yet, here we are. I'm glad you're here too.

I am not endorsing any church on this podcast, but this is the link to the message I reference in the episode: Shorline City Dallas, July 28, 2024 - https://youtu.be/t9mjlEovuNA?si=545S2tDnhlv90_AS

Scripture Reference: 2 Chronicles 20:1-30
The one who speaks does, in fact, have a name: Jahaziel, son of Zechariah (v. 14)

Scripture Reference: Isaiah 61:1-3
