Episode 7: Delaney Talks About Responses to Abuse in the NRC

Delaney shares her experience growing up in the NRC in an abusive household. We talk about the way church leaders handled the abuse, the beliefs that helped create an environment for abuse and violence to thrive, and ways the church, the community, and all of us can better respond to the needs of victims and survivors of abuse.    Content warning: This episode contains mentions of abuse and violence that listeners may find distressing. From minute 4:45 to minute 6:30, Delaney talks about the abuse she experienced, which includes child sexual abuse, grooming,  incest, sex trafficking, and being a child in a household with domestic violence. There are also mentions throughout the episode of intimate partner violence, rape, suicidality, self-harm, and disordered eating.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
