Summary

On this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, Eric sits down with survivor, Sarah Jackson, who speaks out about abuse suffered at the hands of Cameron Giovanelli. Giovanelli was, at the time, her pastor. Cameron carefully orchestrated and manipulated Sarah and those around them. He arranged secret meetings, deceived family members, and even opened a new cell phone line for Sarah to communicate with him using coded messages. When Cameron pleaded guilty, the support he received from higher-ups in the IFB community was deafening. Funds were raised, prayer meetings held, and tweets posted in defense of him.  It was this response that prompted Eric to begin Preacher Boys in the first place.  Take time to listen to the full episode, you won’t want to miss one second of Sarah’s powerful story.
