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 we have the privilege of sharing Christy's story with you.

This episode is part two of a three-part series. Part one was Joshua's story, and he shared his perspective of their time at a missions org in Southern California. Now we're going to hear from Christy and hear her perspective,

and then tomorrow we'll all come back together for part three.

For Jay Coyle, I'm John A Harris, and this is The Bodies Behind the Bus podcast.

I am all about blessed subtraction. There is a pile of dead bodies behind the Mars Hill bus.

And by God's grace it'll be a mountain by the time we're done.

You either get on the bus or you get run over by the bus.

Those are the options. But the bus or you get run over by the bus those are the options but the bus

I can stop you either get on the bus so you get run over by the bus those are the options

but the bus that can stop all right welcome back everyone to the bodies behind the bus podcast
