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

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