There is an unspoken crisis within the evangelical church. We like to think of the church as a haven for the hurting and broken in our world. But what happens when it’s not?

Author and advocate Mary DeMuth lends her voice to tackle the church’s approach to domestic violence, sexual abuse, and harassment. With authority and compassion, Mary draws on her personal experience and elevates the voices of other survivors to unpack the history of the church’s response to sexual violence. To find a new way forward, she examines tough questions, including…

How have women suffered in the structures and hierarchies of the local church?
How has the church chosen to remain silent when confronted with evil?
What issues do women in today’s congregations face?
How has the separation of the sexes fueled abuse in the church?

In the midst of the Me Too movement, the church is at a crossroads. By advocating for a culture of listening, Mary calls on the church to cross over to the places where people are hurting, to bind up their wounds, and to be empowered to heal the broken.
