The Church Should be Somewhere that Believes Women with Yvette Butler | 005
Manage episode 339514283 series 3374975
In the beginning of a three part conversation with Yvette, she shares her personal story of dealing with abuse in the church. We talk about emotional, spiritual, and physical abuse and what it was like for her as a woman, who didn't have a voice in her church, trying to get her pastor and elders to hear, believe and value her. She emphasizes that “The church should be somewhere that is very safe and believes women, supports women and takes care of women.” She shares what it's like to be a woman in a church that didn't value the hearts and gifts and perspectives of women, and why giving too much grace to abusive pastors can become dangerous for the Church and the pastors themselves.
