Why don't church leaders believe victims when they report abuse, and why is the victim so often

gaslit and shamed instead of support it? Welcome to the Roy's report, a podcast dedicated to

reporting the truth and restoring the church. I'm Julie Roy's. And today we're going to be discussing abuse in the

church. Specifically, I'm going to unpack John MacArthur's shocking treatment of the wife of a child

abusing husband with survivor advocate Sarah McDougal. If you follow me at all, you know I recently

published two major exposés. The first revealed how John MacArthur and Grace Community

Church publicly shamed and excommunicated Eileen Gray for not taking her husband and admitted

child abuser back into her home. Our second article showed how even after Gray was convicted,

Grace continued to shun Eileen but support her pedophile husband.

Why does this happen? Why do shepherds charged with protecting the sheep end up protecting

the wolf? And what can we do as believers to stop this abusive and dangerous pattern?

Well, Sarah has lots of experience in this area, and she says, what happened to

Eileen is, sadly, not an isolated incident. We have an epidemic of church leaders covering

for abusers, but the tide is changing, and victims and their allies are rising up. I can't

wait to speak with Sarah, but before I do, I want to thank the sponsors of this podcast,

Judson University, and Mark Horda Barrington. Judson University is a top-ranked Christian

University providing a caring community and an excellent college experience. Plus, the school offers
