Origin Story of Advocacy
The speaker shares a personal narrative that drives his commitment to addressing sexism and abuse within the church. Growing up with a father who was a prominent pastor but also led a secretive double life catalyzed his understanding of the psychological impact of such betrayal on his family. This experience set the foundation for his recognition of his own unhealthy patterns, eventually leading him to pivot from being a pastor to becoming a therapist. His dedication to advocacy stems from the desire to ensure that the painful experiences of his mother and other women are acknowledged and addressed within faith communities.
