In Conversation with Jennifer Dean

This week I am joined on the podcast by survivor and author Jennifer Dean. Jennifer is an absolute delight, and in this conversation we talk about her experience being in a marriage marked by coercive control and abuse while also being part of Greater Grace, and the way church leaders responded to her cries for help. She has turned those experiences into a way to help others, and is about to release her very first book, "Shadow of Joy" in April. You can find out more at beyondtheshadow.me.
