Delaney shares her experience growing up in the NRC in an abusive household. We talk about the way church leaders handled the abuse, the beliefs that helped create an environment for abuse and violence to thrive, and ways the church, the community, and all of us can better respond to the needs of victims and survivors of abuse.    Content warning: This episode contains mentions of abuse and violence that listeners may find distressing.
