Summary

Today I'm joined by Dr. Wade Mullen, researcher and author of Something's Not Right: Decoding the Hidden Tactics of Abuse--and Freeing Yourself from Its Power. Our conversation focuses specifically on "Impression Management," a sociology subfield that analyzes how organizations use different mechanisms to influence their public perceptions to cover up abuse scandals. We get into Mullens's different categories for Impression Management like Organizational Promotion, Opinion Conformity, Burrying, and more.

folks, anyone who finds themselves asking difficult questions about God, science, prayer, fate,

suffering, evangelism, and more. So many of us have been given bad answers to those good questions, often by people with pure intentions. I want to say that
