If you’re like me, there was a time when everything seemed to be going just fine.  Until it wasn't. I don't know what it's been for you. Maybe a divorce. Sickness. Rejection. Addiction. Abuse. Bankruptcy. Loss. Whatever it is, I know it has you asking, "Can my life ever be good again?" But what if I told you that your place of trouble is also the place where hope is found? I know it doesn't make sense but from what I've seen, it's how God does things. And that means you're not stuck – and you're not staying here. He's the One who says, "I will...transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope." (Hosea 2:15)  In His hands, things are going to be more than okay.  You are going to be more than fine.  For more on faith + emotional & spiritual wellness, visit www.UncommonValor.co

Will They Listen? How Good Churches Respond to Abuse Victims with Dr. Scot McKnight

Nov 30, 2022

Victims often have a hard time having their voices heard, especially in a church environment where hurt has happened. Dr. Scot McKnight shares what safe churches look like, and how churches with what he calls a "goodness culture" respond to the wounded and marginalized. He also discusses telltale signs of unsafe churches and leaders, and what to take note of if you are trying to find a new church home for the first time. Scot also offers encouragement for victims of abuse who want to share their stories but aren't sure if it's safe to do so.
