Hi, this is Rachel and I
come week that a special guest today,
2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.029
Sarah Sarah, and she's a pastor
for churches. Right now she's going to
3
00:00:09.070 --> 00:00:12.550
tell us a little bit about herself
and then she's going to answer some questions
4
00:00:12.589 --> 00:00:19.750
about spiritual abuse. Hi. Like
Rachel said, I am a pastor of
5
00:00:20.149 --> 00:00:26.379
four churches in kind of the Rural
Ohio area. I am a recent seminary
6
00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:31.100
graduate and so these are my first
four churches that I've ever had. So
7
00:00:31.219 --> 00:00:35.729
I'm still learning, but I'm having
a lot of fun doing it. I
8
00:00:35.929 --> 00:00:39.850
married my spouse's named Abraham, so
or Sarah and Abraham, which is a
9
00:00:39.929 --> 00:00:44.609
really good, strong biblical couple name, I guess, and we are the
10
00:00:44.729 --> 00:00:51.439
parents of three cats named pickle,
Merril and moggy. So that's me,
11
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:57.920
that's my that's my elevator speech.
Okay, here's some questions. What has
12
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:03.200
been your experience working with spiritually abuse, spiritual abuse in this church? Well,
13
00:01:03.390 --> 00:01:08.069
I grew up it in the independent
Fundamental Baptist Church, which is a
14
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:14.950
very strict it's not really a denomination, it's more of it's like a loose
15
00:01:14.989 --> 00:01:21.900
affiliation of Baptist churches and they are
very strict and very conservative and a lot
16
00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:26.140
of harmful messaging, I would say, came out of that. I don't
17
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.939
think anyone in the church would like
come right out and say, yeah,
18
00:01:27.939 --> 00:01:33.290
abuse is good, we like abuse, but the theology that they taught and
19
00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:40.890
the lack of accountability that was present
in the church structure was kind of enabled
20
00:01:40.930 --> 00:01:45.209
abuse, I would say. So, could you allow so that elaborate?
21
00:01:45.329 --> 00:01:51.359
Oh go ahead, can you elaborate? Well, for instance, the Independent
22
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.879
Fundamental Baptist church is not a denomination, like I said, and each church
23
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.790
kind of has like each pastor of
each church kind of is the boss and
24
00:02:01.189 --> 00:02:06.390
if the pastor is doing something wrong, there's no one above him that you
25
00:02:06.469 --> 00:02:10.069
can go to. If a pastor
is abusive, there's not much you can
26
00:02:10.150 --> 00:02:16.020
do about it except for go to
the law if it's a criminal level of
27
00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:23.379
abuse. But yeah, there's not
really much accountability. Yeah, a very
28
00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:30.930
strict gender roles also in the IFB
like, women have to submit to men
29
00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:37.050
and no questioning it, women can't
speak in the church, and so I
30
00:02:37.129 --> 00:02:44.479
think they'll strict gender roles definitely enable
some abuse. How do you feel like
31
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:50.800
the church? Cold of fates,
victim blamy? Yeah, well, actually,
32
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.319
when I was an undergraduate, I
left the IFB and I majored in
33
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.909
women's suddies and I really started studying
like feminist theology and victim centered theology,
34
00:03:02.069 --> 00:03:09.030
and then I actually did my thesis
on Rape Myths and Victim Blaming and Christian
35
00:03:09.069 --> 00:03:15.020
dating guides, so like books that
dating and marriage guides that Christians would read.
36
00:03:15.939 --> 00:03:22.659
And one thing that I found really
interesting when I was doing this research
37
00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:28.810
was there are there's an article by
Peter Glick and Susan Fisk that is about
38
00:03:28.849 --> 00:03:34.610
the concept of ambivalent sexism. Ambivalent
sexism says that there's two different kinds of
39
00:03:34.650 --> 00:03:40.439
sexism. So there's benevolent sexism,
which sees women as mothers, women as
40
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.400
nurturing women as kind of needing to
be protected. So it's like not anti
41
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.759
woman, it kind of puts women
on a pedestal, but it limits the
42
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.030
roles that women can hold. And
on the other hand, there's hostile sexism
43
00:03:57.110 --> 00:04:01.270
which, like sees women, as, you know, sluts and terrible people
44
00:04:01.469 --> 00:04:05.069
and the you know, that's the
more violent, more harmful form of sexism.
45
00:04:05.150 --> 00:04:10.580
And these two kinds of sexism are
not totally separate. So you're not
46
00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:15.979
either a benevolent sexist or a hostile
sexist. These two things work together.
47
00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:23.420
So benevolent sexism kind of justifies violence, because women who step outside of those
48
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:30.329
rules of protection, those mother really
nurturing roles, then bring it upon themselves.
49
00:04:30.490 --> 00:04:35.129
And I see how those kind of
this concept of ambivalent sexism merely played
50
00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:40.759
out in the IFB because it had
very strict gender roles. There are only
51
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.439
certain things a woman was supposed to
do and if you step outside of that
52
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.399
role, then you're no longer the
good woman who needs to be protected,
53
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:54.470
you're now the bad woman who either
needs to be punished or, you know,
54
00:04:54.709 --> 00:04:58.829
brings it on herself because she stepped
outside of the protection of men.
55
00:04:59.189 --> 00:05:05.829
So okay. It's something that I
think was interesting. How do you think
56
00:05:05.829 --> 00:05:16.459
the church could do better with helping
with sexual use? SACTOS UM? I
57
00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:21.050
think first of all, just rethinking
those gender roles as a really important first
58
00:05:21.089 --> 00:05:26.930
step. The other thing I think
is really important is I have a deeper
59
00:05:27.129 --> 00:05:32.610
and more robust sexual ethic. I
think a lot of churches their sexual ethics
60
00:05:32.769 --> 00:05:39.560
are there's good sex and that's marital
sex, and there's bad sex and that's
61
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.279
pretty marital sex and that's as far
as it goes. There's no nuances there
62
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.959
and and that really allows for,
I think, a lot of sexual abuse
63
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.910
to take place. Another thing I
talked about in my thesis was there's this
64
00:05:51.110 --> 00:05:58.149
idea in a lot of Christian dating
books that only bad girls say yes.
65
00:05:58.629 --> 00:06:02.589
So if a if a girl has
a teenage girl or a young woman has
66
00:06:02.670 --> 00:06:08.379
premarital sex, she's bad and it
doesn't matter what the nuances were or if
67
00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:14.100
it's consensual or not. And on
the other hand, only bad wives say
68
00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:16.540
no. And so on the other
hand, once you're married you can't say
69
00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:20.610
no to sex, and so then
that allows for a lot of domestic and
70
00:06:21.009 --> 00:06:27.730
marital abuse and allows that to be
justified. So I think rethinking our gender
71
00:06:27.769 --> 00:06:32.439
roles, rethinking our sexual ethics and
then just on a more practical level as
72
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.519
a pastor, and right now I'm
a pastor in the United Methodist Church,
73
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.399
so I'm no longer in the IFB
and I like the Methodist Church because it
74
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:48.709
has that structure and that hierarchy.
So we have policies that we have to
75
00:06:48.829 --> 00:06:54.350
implement as pastors and if I don't
implement those policies I'm going to get fired
76
00:06:54.389 --> 00:06:59.149
from my job. So I have
that accountability. And so we call ours
77
00:06:59.430 --> 00:07:03.060
safe sanctuaries and they lay out things
like, if you work with kids,
78
00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:08.339
you have to have a background check
and people can't be alone with children in
79
00:07:08.420 --> 00:07:14.220
the church and and this allows and
here's who you report to if you hear
80
00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:17.449
about sexual abuse or any kind of
abuse taking place. And so it's all
81
00:07:17.569 --> 00:07:25.730
laid out and it's not like this
vague. It's not vague and everyone knows
82
00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:30.600
what to do when abuse takes place. And so I think that's really important
83
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.720
and it's something that I like about
my denomination. You know, we don't
84
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.399
always do everything perfectly and not everyone
follows those policies, unfortunately, and you
85
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.910
still have cases of abuse, but
there are those guards that I think really
86
00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:50.829
protect especially children. How do you
think the church could do better with hoping,
87
00:07:50.910 --> 00:07:57.750
with domestic violence? Yeah, I
think again, those gender roles and
88
00:07:57.870 --> 00:08:05.420
those sexual ethics are really important for
us to rethink. I also think leaders
89
00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:11.740
should research how abuse works, because
I think a lot of us we assume
90
00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:16.290
we already know what abuse looks like. It looks like a man being mean
91
00:08:16.410 --> 00:08:20.769
and hitting and punching and and really
the fact is that a lot of abusers
92
00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:26.160
are very manipulative and they manipulate the
people around their victims to get them on
93
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.560
their side, and that especially they
do this too leaders, because we have
94
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:37.200
power and if we if they get
us on their side, they have our
95
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.990
power and can use our power to
continue to abuse. So I think leaders
96
00:08:41.990 --> 00:08:46.909
should really know what abuse looks like. I recommend the book why does he
97
00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:52.909
do that? By Lundie Bancroft,
which is a really good book about what
98
00:08:52.710 --> 00:08:58.539
the nuances of abuse looks like in
the ways that people will, abusers will
99
00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:03.980
manipulate the people around their victims,
and it was really enlightening for me.
100
00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:07.059
It's a little bit of an older
book and I think there's some language in
101
00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:13.889
there that I might there's some like
Heterosex I think there's a heteronormative assumptions in
102
00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:18.409
this book, but I think overall
it's a really good book to read for
103
00:09:18.529 --> 00:09:24.720
any leader who wants to understand abuse
better. Question that's going to go off
104
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:31.320
the books here. How do you
think scripture has been misused to abuse women
105
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:39.149
or minorities or in that manner?
Right? I think the one I see
106
00:09:39.230 --> 00:09:45.669
the most is child abuse from scripture. So this idea of spare the Rod,
107
00:09:45.830 --> 00:09:48.909
spoil a child, which is not
exactly in scripture, but there's similar
108
00:09:48.950 --> 00:09:54.659
versus to that and people use that
to justify child abuse and some people,
109
00:09:54.539 --> 00:10:00.019
even in the IFB, also use
that to justify abusing their wives, and
110
00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:05.860
so I think that's one way.
Then all the chapters, all the verses
111
00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:11.129
about divorce, I think are often
used to get women to stay in abusive
112
00:10:11.169 --> 00:10:22.200
relationships even when they really need to
leave, and this idea of like divorce
113
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.080
being the worst thing you can do
versus, you know, abusing women being
114
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.039
the worst thing you can do.
So yeah, that's my thought. Okay,
115
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.470
what are things that trigger you working
in the Church today? Um,
116
00:10:41.230 --> 00:10:43.549
well, I've done a lot of
I think I've done a lot of healing.
117
00:10:43.789 --> 00:10:50.500
So I think I used to be
very triggered in church and now my
118
00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:54.340
triggers, I think, are a
little bit more subtle. I think what
119
00:10:54.500 --> 00:11:00.460
triggers me is people criticizing my leadership
or people that don't like me or people,
120
00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:03.289
you know, when I make a
small mistake. I'm kind of a
121
00:11:03.370 --> 00:11:09.450
perfectionist because I grew up with a
verbally abusive father and so whenever I get
122
00:11:09.490 --> 00:11:11.250
criticism I'm like, oh no,
it's the end of the world. I'm
123
00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:18.879
a terrible person, which is not
true and not healthy position for leaders to
124
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:24.480
take, and so that's something I
continue to work on. And then I
125
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.080
think the other thing that maybe triggers
me is these very oversimplified sexual ethics that
126
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.029
even, I think, even more
progressive churches tend to have, where you
127
00:11:35.070 --> 00:11:39.309
talk about pre marital sex is bad
and marital sex is good and that's all
128
00:11:39.389 --> 00:11:41.710
you talk about. That just I
don't know if it triggers me, but
129
00:11:41.789 --> 00:11:46.509
it bothers me and I will get
on my soapbox whenever I hear it.
130
00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:54.620
Yeah, now I get that.
Ooh. What are the things that used
131
00:11:54.659 --> 00:12:00.460
to trigger you inside the Church?
I think there's a time when I didn't
132
00:12:00.539 --> 00:12:05.850
go to church at all because of
just just being in a church building I
133
00:12:05.929 --> 00:12:09.809
found triggering, and so I kind
of stopped going to church for a few
134
00:12:09.809 --> 00:12:15.610
years. I ended up going back
to a universalist church, which really helped
135
00:12:15.649 --> 00:12:20.960
me because it was a church and
yet it wasn't this explicit Christian context.
136
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.039
And went to a universalist church for
a while and ended up, through a
137
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.149
long story, ended up in the
UMC, but it took a long time
138
00:12:30.269 --> 00:12:33.870
to get there because just being in
a church for a while I found triggering.
139
00:12:37.509 --> 00:12:46.419
Can You elaterate on anything specific?
I don't know, like some of
140
00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:52.259
the songs you would saying would be. I think there's some songs that Baptist
141
00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:54.940
sing which actually kind of like now, but this is on the other side
142
00:12:54.980 --> 00:12:58.490
of a lot of healing I've done
that talk about, you know, nothing
143
00:12:58.610 --> 00:13:05.889
but the blood of Jesus, or
just this like violent sounding which, you
144
00:13:05.970 --> 00:13:07.970
know, if it's in the context
of good theology, I don't think it's
145
00:13:07.970 --> 00:13:13.639
actually promoting violence, but in the
context of a church that does promote violence,
146
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.399
to hear this theology of Atonement,
of about God killing his son and
147
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:26.350
and blood and all the suffering and
that I found really triggering. How does
148
00:13:26.429 --> 00:13:33.509
God helped you heal with dealing with
fundamentalism and legalism inside the church? I
149
00:13:33.669 --> 00:13:39.269
think like we tend to project our
own experiences on to God and a lot
150
00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:43.700
of people kind of see God.
I think the most common is they see
151
00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:46.700
God through the Lens of their parents, especially father's, or a preacher.
152
00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:52.659
So growing up with an abusive father
and growing up in a, I would
153
00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:56.929
say an abusive church, it was
kind of hard to have a relationship with
154
00:13:58.129 --> 00:14:01.210
God and I think the way that
God helped was, you know, God
155
00:14:01.289 --> 00:14:09.210
doesn't care if you're angry at him
or her. God doesn't. God Can
156
00:14:09.289 --> 00:14:13.559
handle our anger and God can handle
our grief and God can handle our pain
157
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.799
in a way that I think most
humans can't, and just God being there
158
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:24.309
and being this stable force of grace
in my life that I could go to
159
00:14:24.669 --> 00:14:28.590
with any emotion and with any feeling. It took a long time to get
160
00:14:28.629 --> 00:14:35.269
there, but I think God is
patient to God was with me on that
161
00:14:35.350 --> 00:14:39.899
journey. So, Oh, what
is one thing that you pray for?
162
00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:48.460
Our want for your churches? Um, I want my churches I'm in the
163
00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:52.139
right now. I'm in the United
Methodist Church and if you know anything about
164
00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:54.049
the United Methodist Church, if you've
heard about it on the news, we
165
00:14:54.129 --> 00:15:00.049
are currently in a huge fight about
whether or not we're going to become lgbt
166
00:15:00.210 --> 00:15:05.490
affirming, and I think when it
comes to abuse, I mean just I
167
00:15:05.649 --> 00:15:09.120
want us to become lgbt affirming just
because that's the right thing to do,
168
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:16.320
but also when it comes to abuse. We cannot fully address abuse unless we
169
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:22.909
let go of these traditional gender roles
which are the driving force behind this anti
170
00:15:22.110 --> 00:15:26.549
lgbt movement in the church, this
idea that there's a place for men and
171
00:15:26.710 --> 00:15:31.269
a place for women and you don't
cross those lines. And I think we
172
00:15:31.470 --> 00:15:37.179
can give lip service to the idea
of being against abuse. We can have
173
00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:41.740
these policies and that's really important,
but I think the next step that we
174
00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:48.460
need to do is really get rid
of gender roles all together and or not
175
00:15:48.820 --> 00:15:52.889
necessarily get rid of gender roles,
but realize that they are socially constructed and
176
00:15:54.049 --> 00:15:58.210
be a little bit more flexible with
those gender roles so that so that we
177
00:15:58.289 --> 00:16:04.480
aren't perpetuating these rape myths and these
victim blaming attitudes. And I think in
178
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:08.840
order for us to take that next
step, we have to become lgbt affirming.
179
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.120
So that's what I pray for for
my church. What advice would you
180
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:22.590
get ministers today that are dealing with
spiritual abuse personally or with their congregation?
181
00:16:22.669 --> 00:16:26.710
Yeah, I think my first thing
I would say is do your research.
182
00:16:29.549 --> 00:16:33.539
Have maybe do some research. See
if there are domestic violence shelters in your
183
00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:38.340
area, know their phone numbers,
if if they ever put on training events,
184
00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:42.139
see if you can go to those
and read these books and read the
185
00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:47.409
books I told you one. Dy
Bancroft has a lot of good books about
186
00:16:47.409 --> 00:16:51.210
this topic and just kind of know
what's going on. I would also say
187
00:16:52.289 --> 00:16:57.809
have a support group and because it
can be hard to address abuse in your
188
00:16:57.850 --> 00:17:00.960
church if you are a leader.
Thankfully, I've only had to do it
189
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:08.200
one time in my career so far
where I had to call CPS because of
190
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.480
an abuse case that was going on, and it's really hard to do.
191
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:18.390
It is tough and it is triggering
and having a support group of people that
192
00:17:18.509 --> 00:17:23.549
you can talk to can be really, really helpful. Also, really I
193
00:17:23.630 --> 00:17:27.029
would suggest therapy for anyone, even
if you don't think you need it,
194
00:17:27.269 --> 00:17:33.940
because I think all leaders struggle with
this need to be liked and if you
195
00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:37.740
are addressing abuse in your church,
if you are rocking the boat in that
196
00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:41.740
area, you're not always going to
be liked. If you call CPS on
197
00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:48.049
someone, they probably won't like you
anymore, and so having that support and
198
00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:52.650
learning to get over that need to
be liked will make you a better leader
199
00:17:52.809 --> 00:17:57.130
and it will help you to keep
people safe. I would say my other
200
00:17:57.289 --> 00:18:02.720
my last advice is, well,
another thing I had. It is have
201
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.599
policies. So if you're in a
denomination like the United Methodist Church, they
202
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.630
require policies, but make sure you
have those policies in place of who gets
203
00:18:12.670 --> 00:18:17.509
to work with children, what the
boundaries are, what the limits are.
204
00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:19.950
How are you going to keep kids
safe and make sure everyone in your church
205
00:18:21.109 --> 00:18:26.180
that works with people knows those policies. And also, one thing I think
206
00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:30.740
a lot of us don't think about, make sure every group that meets in
207
00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:36.259
your Church building knows those policies and
signs them. The Methodist Church and a
208
00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:40.779
lot of other churches are having some
issues with this because the boy scouts of
209
00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:45.289
America are going bankrupt and a lot
of people are bringing up abuse cases,
210
00:18:45.569 --> 00:18:49.930
some of which happened in the boy
scouts, but the boy scouts met in
211
00:18:51.089 --> 00:18:56.400
specific church buildings and because there were
no policies decades ago in these abuse cases
212
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.440
are coming up from past decades.
There were no policies back then, and
213
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.799
so I think it's important to not
just have, you know, Sunday school
214
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.519
and nursery workers sign this, but
if you have boy scouts or girl scouts
215
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.829
who meet at Your Church building,
make sure they have these policies as well
216
00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:15.309
and review them often. Okay,
anything else you would like to add?
217
00:19:17.509 --> 00:19:22.589
Um? Let's see. I think
my other thing would be for leaders just
218
00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:29.220
be secure enough in your own faith
that you can listen to other people's stories
219
00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:33.299
of spiritual abuse without getting defensive,
and I think that can be a hard
220
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:37.849
thing to do when someone is saying
this aspect of the faith hurt me and
221
00:19:37.970 --> 00:19:41.490
it triggers me and I don't want
to be in church and I don't want
222
00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:45.130
to hear it. It can be
easy to try to argue or try to
223
00:19:45.210 --> 00:19:49.170
convince them otherwise, but I would
suggest be secure in your own faith,
224
00:19:49.250 --> 00:19:53.359
in your own life that you can
hear these stories and just hear people out,
225
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:59.480
because that's really what people need,
not arguments, but someone to listen.
226
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.119
So yeah, do you have any
other questions for me? I guess
227
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:11.589
that's really it, like I can't
think of anything else. So thanks for
228
00:20:11.710 --> 00:20:18.910
coming on my shows, Sarah,
thanks for having me, and I think
229
00:20:18.950 --> 00:20:22.220
that's it. Ladies and gentlemen,
