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 of our Patreon community

to operate. If you value this work and are able to contribute, you can join for as little as $5 a month.

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

moment, but it has a big impact on our reach. Thank you for

daring to listen. Hello and welcome back to the Bodies Behind the Bus podcast. I'm

Jana Harris, and this is part two of Joy's story. So if you have not had the chance to listen to

part one yet, pause right now, go listen to that, and then come back here for the conclusion.

You are not going to want to miss how much wisdom and integrity that joy brings to this conversation

as she shares her story with us.

With that, let's jump right back in.

I am all about blessed subtraction.

There is a pile of dead bodies behind the Marseville 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 ain't going to stop. You either get on the bus, so you get run over by the bus.

Those are the options. But the bus ain't going to stop. Because I did. I asked them, I was like, how is this even fair? I can stop. Because I did.

I asked them, I was like, how is this even fair?

I don't understand.

And they wouldn't listen.
