Mary DeMuth: Sexual Abuse and the Church (Podcast)

June 23, 2020 by Ericka Leave a Comment

Mary DeMuth has written over 40 books and her recent "We Too: How the Church Can Respond Redemptively to the Sexual Abuse Crisis" -- took a lot out of her. Mary is still healing from wounds of sexual abuse in her past, as she many likely will be for a lifetime. As the #MeToo movement traveled across the country several years ago, the #ChurchToo movement followed close behind. There is abuse in the Church, beyond what was previously known, and there are those who would protect rather than preserve justice. Mary is a leading voice in helping churches choose differently and act justly. Churches have begun to change and address these things more recently, but it's simply not enough. There's a lot going on in the world but sexual … [Read more...]

Sharon Hodde Miller: God Calls Us to Use Our Voices

June 9, 2020 by Ericka Leave a Comment

My episode today is with Sharon Hodde Miller, author, speaker, church planter, mom -- and a very wise soul in my opinion. In Sharon's latest book, "Nice," she covers the concept of Christian "niceness" and how we've confused being "nice" with being a Christ follower. This episode was recorded just before COVID and definitely before the recent racial justice protests in our country, but I found so much of it extremely relevant to the current conversation. We have a responsibility as Christians to speak out for justice. We discuss how Jesus approach situations like the ones we are seeing today. It always helps to consider the age old question: What would Jesus do? Sharon enlightens me on why she values the Church s much -- and why … [Read more...]

K.J. Ramsey: A Chronic Pain Condition and Faith in Suffering

May 12, 2020 by Ericka Leave a Comment

K.J. Ramsey is a writer, therapist and person who suffers from chronic pain. In her new book, "This Too Shall Last," K.J. writes about living with faith in the midst of pain that may not end. She told me one of the worst things those suffering hear from well-meaning loved ones is, "This too shall pass." Thus, the name of her book. And, well, sometimes things don't. In today's interview, I speak with her about living with her condition for over a decade, how she manages and what she does to remember God's goodness in the midst of it. K.J. writes and speaks about the way community and pain are linked -- and how our brains process struggles of all kinds. She talks about how she gets through her toughest days and what it's like to be an … [Read more...]
