0:00.0	Spiritual abuse has become a hot topic as more and more pastors and Christian leaders have been exposed as abusive or toxic.
0:10.5	If you've been a victim of spiritual abuse, how do you recover?
0:13.8	Or if you know of people who have been victims of spiritual abuse, how can you help them find healing?
0:19.6	Welcome to the Roy's report, a podcast dedicated to
0:22.3	reporting the truth and restoring the church. I'm Julie Roy's. And today I'm going to be speaking
0:27.5	with Remy Diedrich, a pastor, author, and victim of spiritual abuse. Remy knows what it's like to be
0:33.9	spiritually abused. He knows the pain, the confusion, the damage that spiritual abuse
0:38.9	does to the soul. In fact, Remy says what he experienced was so damaging, he had to step back
0:44.6	from church for several years just to recover. This is such an important and relevant topic. I'm so
0:50.4	looking forward to talking with Remy about this. But before we dive in, I want to take a minute to thank the sponsors of this podcast, Judson University, a university shaping lives that shape the world, as well as Mark Hord of Barrington and the Illinois Family Institute.

1:30.1	I highly recommend attending this event.
1:34.9	Speaking will be several education experts like Lenny Jarrett of the Heartland Institute and Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute.
1:39.2	I think you'll find the information that they present absolutely eye-opening.
1:43.0	For more information, just go to
1:44.7	Illinois family.org. Well, again, I'm so excited to have Remy Diedrich with me today. He's the
