0:00.0	Trigger warning. This podcast contains descriptions of various abusive situations. Listener discretion is advised.
0:09.2	You are listening to the Preacher Boys podcast, a podcast shedding light on decades of mental, physical, and sexual abuse within the independent fundamental Baptist movement.
0:20.3	The testimonies shared on this podcast are told from the personal fundamental Baptist movement. The testimony shared on this podcast
0:22.1	are told from the personal experience and perspective of the survivors. Not all legal outcomes
0:28.1	are known or final. Any suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.
0:34.4	Now, here's your host, Eric Squarsinski. Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Bridge Boys
