Hey there, I'm Julie Slattery, and I'm glad you've joined me today. Job with Julie is a production

of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality. My conversation

today is with John Fort, and as you'll hear, John is not only a survivor of childhood sexual

abuse. He also became an abuser.

We often say on this podcast that there is nothing beyond God's redemption, and John's

story demonstrates that.

John has decades of experience in sexual abuse recovery, both personally and professionally.

He currently works with Be-Broken Ministries,

overseeing their online training platform,

as well as their community resource center.

Now, bringing the story of an abuser to Job with Julie

is in no way intended to minimize the harm that John did to his victims.

You're going to hear that message clearly from both John and from me.

Child abuse in every situation is destructive and evil.

But the purpose of our conversation today is to share the hope that Jesus Christ extends

to all of us, no matter what our sin is.

Maybe you or someone you love has been labeled a sex offender. This

conversation is for you. If you find this episode helpful, we'd love to have you subscribe to

Now let's head to the coffee shop to hear from my friend, John Ford.
