Her Voice Soars: stories of abuse and recovery

This episode is about a form of spiritual abuse that is unique in its delivery but is happening more and more in today's world. Spiritual abuse is a form of abuse that is mostly quiet and hidden and deceives it's victim's in a very subtle way while wearing it's robe of righteousness. This episode show's us a vicious display of hate and violence that is beyond anything that would be deemed acceptable. I invite in this episode to take part in a call to action against abuse and hatred in this manner and to join together in love and justice for all!
