  • the difficulty of leaving a faith community that mishandles abuse.
  • why the church needs a new reformation when it comes to this topic.
  • the importance of focusing on specific denominations.

Ep.2 | Beth Allison Barr

Beth Allison Barr (PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is professor of history and associate dean of the Graduate School at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where she specializes in medieval history, women’s history, and church history.

In this episode:
  • how did the cultural shifts of the Reformation era lead to changes in the perception of women?
  • what do “Christian patriarchy” and “Biblical womanhood” mean? 
  • what was the most surprising finding throughout your studies in biblical womanhood as both a historian and a Christian?

  • How can mothers who have been the body shield for their children, help their children understand the abuse after protecting them so much from experiencing it? 
  • Tips for reconciling the child’s perception of the abuser, with the truth of the actual abuse?
  • Is abuse really worse inside the church than “out in the world”?
  • Why does the church so often turn a blind eye to abuse?
