This episode continues an important conversation with former child abuse prosecutor Victor Vieth about how churches, schools, and Christian communities can better respond to abuse and trauma. Victor discusses the importance of education, personal safety training, and proactive child protection policies, while also addressing the long-term effects of childhood trauma on faith, mental health, addiction, and family life. He shares practical guidance for pastors, teachers, and church leaders facing resistance to reform, along with deeply personal reflections on vicarious trauma and perseverance.
