Character Over Influence - Confronting Clergy Sexual and Emotional Abuse

Join Host Melinda, Co-Host Cheryl Nembhard and Regular Panelists Tryphena Perumalla-Gagnon and Esther Lysakovsky as they share bravely and honestly about their response to Clergy sexual and emotional abuse in the Church, how ‘we’ have contributed to a culture of abuse, why cultivating character over influence is vital for every leader, how ‘we’ can stop abuse from happening in our churches, and how we can best support victims and survivors of abuse. This is a show that is timely, challenging, difficult and personal. But, a necessary discussion to have for anyone who has been abused within the church, for the truth-tellers standing up and speaking up against abuse in the church, for church leaders and for those who deeply love the church and want to see her as a safe place for all people
