This episode was made possible by our incredible patrons who faithfully support the work of amplifying the voices of spiritual abuse survivors.

We are an extremely small team comprised of just two families with a passion for stories and image bears.

We committed early on to not monetizing any of the stories and rely solely on the donations of our Patreon community

to operate. If you value this work and are able to contribute, you can join for as little as $5 a month.

Another way you can support us is by following, rating, and reviewing the podcast. It only takes a

moment, but it has a big impact on our reach. Thank you for

daring to listen. Before we begin, we want to make the listener aware that this episode contains

adult content related to abuse, sexual assault, and or suicide. Listener discretion as advised.
