Today's episode is going to be talking about some tough topics, specifically surrounding child sexual abuse.

Listener discretion is advised.

This episode was made possible by our incredible donors.

Their faithful support allows us to continue

the work of amplifying the voices of religious abuse survivors. We committed early on never to

monetize any of the stories, so we rely solely on donations from people like you. If you value the

work and are able to contribute, you can become a monthly donor at the link in our show notes.

Another way to support bodies behind the bus is by following, rating, and reviewing the podcast.

It only takes a moment, but has a tremendous impact on our reach. Thank you for daring to listen.

Today's episode, we are wrapping up our current series out of the Austin Stone.

Since beginning this series, we have had a major influx of people reaching out,

not only wanting to validate the first four storytellers,

but also asking how they can participate and share their own experiences out of the stone.

Because of this, we will be releasing a second series out of the stone later this year.

If you are somebody who is wanting to participate in that,

wanting to share your stories with that next group of storytellers out of the stone,

please feel free to reach out to us at Connect at Bodies Behind the Bus.com.

And we can tell you a little bit more about our process there.

With that, I'm Jonah Harris, and this is at series. And this will probably be at the end.

And we just wanted to spend some time going through the statements that Austin Stone released last year in February, as well as a couple of articles that picked up not only that statement, but the disclosure as well of one of the survivors of Aaron Ivy.

So, Eric, Robert, welcome. Thank you. It's always good to be here.

Thank you for having us. You're welcome. All right. So. We always have fresh material somehow to talk about.
