Leader are Talking Domestic Violence and Spiritual Abuse Awareness
This session is important because we have leaders of the church willing to speak up and against Domestic Violence and Spiritual Abuse. Many say church leaders struggled to respond to crisis in their congregations when members are going through abuse or the leaders use the word against the victim and not hold the perpetrator accountable. These men of God want to help us to understand they know how to seek for help. Experts broadly agree on best practices for church leaders to come forward in abuse cases, but a lack of data and the historical underreporting of abuse in the church can make it difficult to know how to address it.
