Shechem Part 2: The Bible and Abuse with Dr. Diane Langberg
Kat Armstrong interviews Dr. Diane Langberg, a renowned psychologist and trauma expert, shedding light on the challenges of addressing abuse in the Scriptures. Dr. Langberg has sat with, and counseled, countless victims of trauma, violence, rape, and war. She’s studied people groups who’ve been crushed, oppressed and enslaved. She’s explored the sewer system of suffering and written to tell of it. And she doesn’t back down or hold back.
Episode Content Warning: This episode contains content related to sexual assault.
Diane doesn’t worry about hurting the Church’s image because God doesn’t need us to protect his reputation.
