The Grace Awakening: Reckoning with Abuse in the Church

There’s a difficult conversation happening in many faith communities, one that can no longer be avoided. The Grace Awakening: Reckoning with Abuse in the Church is a space where that conversation is centered with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to truth. Hosted by the team at GRACE-Godly Response to Abuse in a Christian Environment-this podcast goes beneath the surface to examine how power operates, how systems can fail, and why patterns of harm persist within Christian contexts. You’ll hear from leading experts, journalists, and thinkers who help dissect these systemic issues, not to condemn from a distance, but to navigate a path toward accountability and healing. Each episode tackles tough, necessary questions, often focusing on stories and dynamics that have remained hidden. The goal is understanding and, ultimately, transformation. For anyone who cares about the health and integrity of spiritual communities, this series offers vital perspective and a sobering yet hopeful dialogue. Tune in for a podcast that believes faith should be a place of safety, not secrecy.
