We often talk about the importance of leadership and the ethical use of power. But what does that actually look like in practice?
In the latest episode of A World of Difference, Dr. Scot McKnight and host @loriadams-brown discuss how to address spiritual abuse effectively and foster a support system for survivors.
Whistleblowers often get easily discredited by false narratives shrouded in stereotypes for image management to protect the institution. Sexist tropes that easily discredit women due to the oxygen we all breathe in our cultures that teach us "himpathy," and urge us to believe women are just "trying to bring a good man down." We need to stay curious when someone brings allegations of abuse, believe the one without power and verify by centering survivors instead of perpetrators and those with white male power, especially.
We also highlight the often-overlooked perspectives of women scholars and abuse survivors in ministry. Listen now for a thought-provoking conversation that will inspire you to be a better leader in your community.
