For Our Daughters film discussion w/girlfriend Amie Pronk, and how to "Find Your Spark" with special guest Irene Williams

This week on the podcast, Marcia and Stacey talk with guest girlfriend, Amie Pronk about the new short film, For Our Daughters [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkES4X_qb6c]. This film is the brain-child of Kristin Kobes DuMez, [https://kristindumez.com/] author of the book Jesus and John Wayne [https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-John-Wayne-Evangelicals-Corrupted/dp/1631495739]. They discuss themes from this film, which includes sexual and spiritual abuse in the church. It’s a hard topic, but also hopeful because more and more women are choosing to bravely speak out about their experiences.
