Podcasts about Abuse

In December of 2015, 27-year-old Jessie Bardwell moved from Alabama to Texas to live with her boyfriend, 28-year-old Jason Lowe. Her friends and family knew this was a bad situation for her–Jason was abusive and controlling over every facet of her life. In May of 2016, Jessie disappeared, and her father Gary sprung into action. He traveled to Texas himself and got the police involved. He could just feel that she was dead, and even had a nightmare about her murder the night before her disappearance.Gary's "Taken Away" Full Song: JESSIE4National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/Warning Signs of Abuse: https://wadvocates.org/find-help/abou...This episode is sponsored by:Grow TherapyGustoWayfairRocket Money—Check out my foundation: Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org/Watch my documentaries:530 Days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjUWkmOjNLkApartment 801: https://bit.ly/2RJ9XXr True Crime with Kendall Rae podcast:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3rks84oSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3jC66prShop my Merch! https://kendallrae.shopCheck out my other podcasts:Mile Higher (True Crime) @milehigherpodYouTube: https://bit.ly/2ROzJcwInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherpodThe Sesh (Current events, a little true crime, pop culture, and commentary) https://bit.ly/3Mtoz4X @the_seshpodcastInstagram: https://bit.ly/3a9t6Xr*Follow My Social!* @KendallRaeOnytInstagram: http://instagram.com/kendallraeonytFacebook: https://bit.ly/3kar4NKTrue Crime TikTok: https://bit.ly/3VDbc77Personal TikTok: https://bit.ly/41hmRKgREQUESTS: General case suggestion form: https://zfrmz.com/yg9cuiWjUe2QY3hSC2V0Form for people directly related/close to the victim: https://zfrmz.com/HGu2hZso42aHxARt1i67Join my discord to chat with other viewers about this video, it's free! https://discord.com/invite/an4stY9BCNC O N T A C T:For Business Inquiries - kendallrae@night.coSend me mail: Kendall Rae 8547 E Arapahoe Rd Ste J #233 Greenwood Village, CO 80112

In this final recap episode, we revisit the final months of Maya Kowalski's sheltering at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and the tragic events that followed. While the dependency case and abuse investigation continued, tensions within the Kowalski family were escalating. After a difficult court hearing in January 2017, Beata Kowalski died by suicide, leaving behind emails asking others to “take care of Maya”. Following Beata's death, Maya was eventually released to her father's custody, where she continued to improve and was able to return to school without further ketamine treatment. In the years that followed, the Kowalski family filed a lawsuit against the hospital that would ultimately lead to a high-profile trial, widespread media coverage, and the Netflix documentary Take Care of Maya. *** Just a note that today's episode includes mention and description of suicide.

In this Narcissist Apocalypse educational follow-up episode, Brandon breaks down the deeper dynamics behind Lita's survivor story. Brandon walks through the key themes in Lita's story, including how being “seen” for the first time can create powerful attachment, how self-reflection can be weaponized against survivors, and how real trauma can sometimes be used as an explanation that removes accountability. We also break down the FOG — Fear, Obligation, Guilt, and Shame — and how each of these forces shaped Lita's experience inside the relationship. If you have ever wondered why it can be so hard to leave abusive relationships, this conversation helps illuminate the psychological systems that keep survivors trapped — and how those systems begin to break.

Finding Hope in the Deepest Pain   What happens when the unthinkable becomes your reality—and yet you still choose faith? In today's deeply moving episode, Leslie sits down with Hope Hooton, a courageous mother, advocate, and follower of Jesus whose life changed forever in May 2024 when her two children, Alec and Lydia, were tragically killed during court-ordered visitation with their father. In the midst of unspeakable grief, Hope has chosen to trust God and use her voice to protect other children. Through her testimony, advocacy, and new memoir releasing today, Hope reminds us that even in devastating loss, God's presence can still be found—and that purpose can rise from the deepest pain.   Key Takeaways Recognizing the Red Flags of Abuse Looking back, Hope can now clearly see the warning signs in her marriage—manipulation, gaslighting, emotional control, financial abuse, and power struggles. Abuse rarely starts dramatically; it often unfolds subtly over time. Naming these patterns is the first step toward protecting yourself and your children. When Systems Fail to Protect Children Despite documented domestic violence and severe mental illness, the court granted Hope's husband unsupervised visitation with their young children. This devastating decision highlights a heartbreaking reality many mothers face: the family court system often prioritizes parental rights over child safety. Faith That Holds in the Darkest Night After losing her children, Hope's life as she knew it disappeared overnight. Yet in her grief, she clung tightly to God's presence—spending time in prayer, journaling, and meditating on Scripture. Proverbs 3:5–6 became her lifeline: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Turning Tragedy Into Purpose Hope refused to allow her children's story to end in silence. Through her social media platform Hope In The Pain, she shares encouragement, faith, and the reality of walking through grief with God. She also hosts the Voices Against Filicide Podcast, raising awareness about domestic violence, the abuse cycle, and cases of child homicide across the country. Honoring Alec and Lydia Through Advocacy Hope is now working with Arizona lawmakers to create stronger protections for children in custody cases. Her advocacy is helping bring critical attention to how family courts handle domestic violence and mental illness when making custody decisions.   Resources Mentioned Hope's New Memoir is Available TODAY (March 9): There's Still Hope: A Journey of Adversity, Tragedy, and Unbreakable Faith Arizona Legislation Honoring Alec & Lydia Arizona legislation HB2995 has already passed the Arizona House of Representatives and is now moving forward to the Arizona Senate. This bill, referred to as The Alec and Lydia Act, aims to strengthen protections for children in family court cases by ensuring judges receive training in domestic violence, coercive control, trauma response, and mental illness when making custody decisions. Please join us in praying that this legislation passes the Arizona Senate, helping protect vulnerable children and families across the state.

Michael DiSabato - Wexit / The Survivors of the OSU Abuse Scandal (Part 2)Michael DiSabato is one of the survivors of one of the most egregious breaches of trust in American history. He was a victim in the OSU Bath house scandal, something the Opperman Report has been covering for years. It is time for justice for the survivors and the families of those who never made it.wexit.orgBackground: (from Wikipedia)The Ohio State University abuse scandal centered on allegations of sexual abuse that occurred between 1978 and 1998, while Richard Strauss was employed as a physician by the Ohio State University (OSU) in the Athletics Department and in the Student Health Center. An independent investigation into the allegations was announced in April 2018 and was conducted by the law firm Perkins Coie.In July 2018, several former wrestlers accused former head coach Russ Hellickson and U.S. representative Jim Jordan, who was an assistant coach at OSU between 1987 and 1994, of knowing about Strauss's alleged abuse but failing to take action to stop it. Jordan has denied that he had any student-athlete report sexual abuse to him.The report, released in May 2019, concluded that Strauss abused at least 177 male student-patients and that OSU was aware of the abuse as early as 1979, but the abuse was not widely known outside of athletics or student health until 1996, when he was suspended from his duties. Strauss continued to abuse OSU students at an off-campus clinic until his retirement from the university in 1998. OSU was faulted in the report for failing to report Strauss's conduct to law enforcement.Previous Shows on this subject on PatreonSteve Snyder Rocky RatliffOpperman LivePrevious Shows on this subject on SpreakerSteve SnyderJim Jordan Bathhouse ScandalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

FIPS is an open source mesh networking project that enables devices to connect directly to each other without relying on any central servers or infrastructure. Today's internet depends on companies and governments that can monitor, censor, or shut down communication at will. FIPS solves this by giving every node a cryptographic identity and encrypting all traffic automatically, so no one in the middle can see or block what you're doing. Nodes discover each other and route messages through the mesh on their own, and regular apps like browsers and SSH clients work on top of it without any special setup.Arjen on Nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub1hw6amg8p24ne08c9gdq8hhpqx0t0pwanpae9z25crn7m9uy7yarse465grJonathan on Nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub19wavu4f7l6l43h24jyskn7fvzy37kcfp67aqjtmv2qgy4lp34nhsda8p6k FIPS Repo: https://gitworkshop.dev/npub1y0gja7r4re0wyelmvdqa03qmjs62rwvcd8szzt4nf4t2hd43969qj000ly/relay.ngit.dev/fips Tollgate: https://tollgate.meSovereign Engineering: https://sovereignengineering.io/ EPISODE: 193BLOCK: 939631PRICE: 1465 sats per dollar(02:03) Introducing FIPS and the goal of a middleman free internet(04:16) Why static IPs fail for hosting and how FIPS reframes identity(05:51) Decoupling transport and routing: protocol-agnostic design(06:50) Peer discovery across Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and local broadcast(07:43) Future global routing ideas and decentralized discovery(09:05) Local mesh handshakes, Noise encryption, and Bloom filters(11:02) Community meshes, resilience, and mixed transports(11:42) Starlink and bridging meshes over the wider internet(13:21) Use case: protest resilience and reconnecting to the world(14:08) Origins: conferences, Sovereign Engineering, and NoDNS(16:04) From NoDNS to FIPS: faster updates, remaining gaps(17:10) Economics: sats for peering and incentive-aware routing(18:00) Abuse, DDoS surfaces, and defenses via npubs and rate limits(19:45) Learning from mesh hype cycles and bootstrapping adoption(22:32) Lowering app friction: make existing apps work over FIPS(25:12) DNS trick: IPv6 mapping and transparent transport(27:08) Backwards compatibility as a must-have for scale(28:08) Rethinking data flow with Nostr streams and local hosting(30:12) Offline-to-online spectrum and graceful reconciliation(31:10) Status update: early servers, testers, and bandwidth limits(32:20) Physical constraints: MTU, Bluetooth, LoRa(36:00) Reality checks: pitfalls, past meshes, and expectations(38:12) New primitives: Nostr, Blossom, eCash; Jonathan's role(40:37) Identity concerns, key rotation, and operational practices(46:10) Hosting sensitive services: hot keys(48:09) Self-hosting privately, Tor comparisons, and latency(49:37) Observation, Tollgate incentives, and community privacy(50:40) Tollgate legal concerns and community norms(53:21) Call to action, testing FIPS, and packaging plans(55:10) Closing thoughtsmore info on the show: https://citadeldispatch.comlearn more about me: https://odell.xyz

Sarah McDugal is back on the podcast, and this time we're talking about what it actually takes to protect your children inside a family court system that often reframes abuse as "mutual high conflict" and makes the protective parent look like the problem. Sarah is a clarity coach and founder of Freedom Navigator and Wilderness to Wild, where she works exclusively with protective parents navigating high-conflict divorce and custody battles. In this conversation, we talk about why the ways most of us instinctively respond—explaining, defending, and trying to get people to understand the truth—can actually work against us in court. We also dive into Sarah's High Conflict Court Risk Index, an assessment designed to help parents understand early how likely their case is to become a long, drawn-out legal battle. The earlier you can see the terrain you're walking into, the more strategically you can move through it. And we talk about the kids. One of the most powerful reframes Sarah offers is that protecting our children doesn't always mean shielding them from harm. Sometimes the greatest protection we can give them is helping them learn how to navigate difficult realities with clarity, resilience, and support. If you're deep in a high-conflict case and feel like everything you do somehow gets used against you, you're not imagining it. The family court system is not what most of us think it is—and fighting it the way we naturally want to can sometimes make things worse. This conversation offers a different playbook. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why what family court labels "high conflict" is very often an abuser-victim dynamic, not a mutual conflict situation (5:28) How you can shift the dynamics in court by changing yourself, not by trying to change the other person or the system (11:10) The High Conflict Court Risk Index, what it assesses, who it is for, and why taking it early means you can start the right conversations sooner (12:28) Why an interdisciplinary divorce team saves you time, money, and unnecessary damage (24:28) What to do when your high conflict court risk comes back moderate to high, and where to go for support (23:30) Why protecting your kids from all harm is not the goal and how to start teaching them to navigate tricky people and tricky situations instead (31:30) ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

In this episode of 'One in Ten,' Teresa Huizar interviews Dr. Emily Putnam-Hornstein (UNC Chapel Hill) about how homeschooling intersects with child abuse and neglect, emphasizing that homeschooling is growing (about 2 million children) while reliable data and regulation vary widely by state and are often minimal. The conversation covers rare but egregious torture cases, potential child-focused oversight for high-risk families, barriers to policy change, and the importance of reporting concerns to hotlines.  Time Stamps: 00:00 Homeschooling And Hidden Abuse 01:21 Why Study Homeschooling 02:08 Data Gaps In California 03:52 How Common Is Homeschooling 05:31 Politics And Polarization 06:59 Mandatory Reporters Explained 09:23 Training Gaps For Families 11:14 State Rules Vary Widely 12:37 Torture Cases And Limits 16:04 Child Focused Policy Ideas 19:47 Notification And Oversight 23:45 Support And Cyber Schooling 28:36 Why Reforms Keep Failing 32:00 Advice For Professionals 34:13 Anonymous Reporting Concerns 36:15 Wrap Up And Thanks Resources:Homeschooling and child maltreatment: A review of the regulatory context and research evidence in the United States - ScienceDirectSupport the showDid you like this episode?

But what if a small fraction of your customers are exploiting that generosity, forcing your best, most loyal customers to unknowingly pay an 'abuse tax' through higher prices or stricter policies? Agility requires moving beyond static, one-size-fits-all policies and embedding real-time intelligence into the moments that matter. It's about empowering teams to adapt not just to who the customer is, but what they intend to do right now. Today, we are here at eTail Palm Springs and we're going to talk about a massive, and often invisible, threat to brand profitability and customer loyalty: post-purchase abuse. While brands have spent years optimizing the path to purchase, the moments that happen after the sale—returns, refunds, and support interactions—have become a significant source of margin leakage, pitting the goals of the CX team against the financial health of the business.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Breanna Moreno, Head of CX at NoFraud. About Breanna Moreno Breanna Moreno is CX Architect at NoFraud, where she helps ecommerce brands reduce post-purchase fraud and policy abuse while empowering customer experience teams to operate more strategically.

Some healing stories are quiet. Others are hard won.In this episode, I sit down with best selling ghostwriter and author Leslie Montgomery to talk about her memoir Insatiable and her journey of healing after childhood abuse.Leslie shares what it took to rebuild her life, reclaim her identity, and learn to trust God again after deep trauma.

She also speaks to the role of community, mentorship, and choosing wholeness one step at a time.This conversation offers hope to anyone who wonders if healing is still possible after what they have lived through. It reminds us that redemption does not erase the past but it can reshape the future.Takeaways• Healing from trauma is possible but it takes time and support• Identity rooted in Christ restores worth after self abandonment• Forgiveness is a process, not a one time decision• Faith can walk with healing without minimizing pain• Community and mentorship matter in recovery• New beginnings are possible in every season of lifeConnect with Leslie on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LeslieGinevraMontgomeryor reach her at https://www.lesliemontgomeryspeaks.com/healing after abuse, faith and trauma recovery, christian healing story, redemption through faith, forgiveness and healing, women healing from trauma, faith and mental health, identity in Christ, christian memoir, emotional healing, hope after trauma, women of faith podcast, recovering from child sexual abuse, finding Jesus, hearing Jesus, God heals

Adult children sometimes cut off their parents by refusing contact. As many as 25% of adults have been estranged from at least one of their parents. A mild form of this estrangement is a rupture that is short term and perhaps less profound. What are the leading causes and what can be done to heal […]

In Episode 369 of the Flying Free Podcast, you'll learn a term that's more accurate than "narcissistic abuse,” and it's actually being recognized in courts of law. This is part four of The Narcissism Trap Series, and it shifts everything from trying to diagnose your partner to recognizing what's really happening to you.If you've been stuck wondering whether he meets the clinical criteria for narcissism or whether therapy could change him, this episode will free you from that trap. Natalie breaks down coercive control—what sociologist Evan Stark calls a "liberty crime"—and why understanding this pattern matters more than any personality disorder diagnosis ever could.

Invisible Scars: Surviving, Healing, and Finding Your Voice with Christopher CarazasSome of the deepest wounds are the ones no one can see.In this powerful and vulnerable episode, we explore invisible scars with survivor, storyteller, and global development and social impact leader Christopher Carazas. Christopher shares his deeply personal journey of being diagnosed with autism as an adult—and how years of masking his true self left him feeling like he never truly belonged.Instead of receiving understanding and compassion after his diagnosis, Christopher was met with psychological, emotional, and verbal abuse. He was told he wasn't good enough, that he should be ashamed of his existence, and that he didn't deserve the space he took up in the world. These cruel and dehumanizing messages led him to attempt suicide—twice. Thankfully, Christopher is still here.Those experiences became the foundation for his memoir, Now That I'm Still Here, a raw and honest exploration of trauma, autism, grief, abuse, and survival.Christopher describes his life as a “mosaic of shifting landscapes and invisible scars.” Growing up across continents, he learned to adapt constantly while rarely feeling accepted. Masking his autism became a survival strategy—until abuse weaponized his differences and pushed him toward collapse and silence. Healing did not come dramatically or heroically, but breath by breath.Through profound loss, grief, and rebuilding after devastation, Christopher found his way back to himself through writing. His story speaks to anyone who has survived emotional abuse, lived with grief as a daily companion, or struggled to reclaim their voice—especially men and neurodivergent individuals who are often taught to stay silent.This episode is a reminder that survival itself is meaningful—and that telling our stories can be a powerful act of healing.In this episode, we discuss:Invisible scars and why they can be just as painful as physical woundsAdult autism diagnosis and the lifelong impact of maskingThe devastating effects of emotional, psychological, and verbal abuseSuicide attempts, survival, and choosing to keep goingGrief, loss, and rebuilding after everything falls apartWriting as a pathway to healing and reclaiming identityWhy men and neurodivergent individuals must be supported in finding their voicesConnect with Christopher:

This Episode of the Metal Maniacs Podcast goes full blast as hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down with one of the most prolific drummers in extreme metal history — Marco Pitruzzella, better known as Lord Marco.You've seen the meme. You've heard the legend. “Death Metal Dad – I play drums in over 4,000 death metal bands. ”But behind the joke is a drummer who has recorded drums on more than 700 songs, toured the world, and helped define modern technical death metal, brutal death metal, slam, grind, and extreme metal drumming.In this episode, we dig deep into Marco's insane journey:What first pulled him into metal and extreme music.Why extreme drumming became his obsession. His early days with Vörnagar and the Bleeding Holocaust EP. Touring 26 countries / 52 shows across Europe with Vital Remains. His genre-defining work with Braindrill (Parasites, Apocalyptic Feasting – Metal Blade Records)Touring with The Faceless and releasing the infamous Lord of the Blast instructional DVDDrum & bass death metal madness with I Came to HateSession work explosion with Anomalous, Neurogenic, Gurglectomy, Defleshed Gutted, ABUSE, Raped by Pigs, and moreTouring and recording with Six Feet Under, including Torment, Nightmares of the Decomposed, and Killing for RevengeDrumming for Rings of Saturn, Waking the Cadaver, Sleep Terror, and beyondHow session work changed his life — and how it all keeps coming full circleWe also talk about how Jay first discovered Marco through YouTube, Braindrill, and extreme metal rabbit holes, the discipline it takes to maintain this level of output, and what's next with Xelmactha, Wrath of Logarius, and future chaos.This is not just an interview — it's a history lesson in extreme metal drumming.

In this episode of Mormon Stories Podcast, we speak with Christopher Jenkins, a former LDS bishop, about his personal experience with the Church's abuse hotline. While serving as bishop in Washington, a ward member confessed abuse to him. When Christopher called the Church's hotline for guidance, he says he was told he was not a mandatory reporter and felt pressured not to report the abuse to authorities.Christopher walks us through both calls he made to the hotline, the legal framing of the guidance he received, and the lack of follow-up afterward. He also discusses broader issues surrounding clergy confidentiality, how reporting requirements vary by jurisdiction, and what he perceived as the Church's focus on institutional liability rather than victim care.We also explore how he now views mandatory reporting laws, the Church's opposition to certain reporting requirements in Washington, and larger questions about abuse prevention, bishop training, and accountability. Christopher shares how this experience, along with navigating life as the father of LGBTQ+ children, contributed to significant shifts in his faith.This conversation centers on leadership responsibility, ethical decision-making, and what happens when institutional guidance conflicts with personal conscience.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Andrea shares her journey of surviving severe childhood sexual abuse and maternal betrayal inside a family that appeared successful and stable from the outside. At four and a half years old, Andrea's father began crossing boundaries that no child should ever have to endure. The night her mother walked in and fainted — temporarily losing her sight — Andrea was told it was her fault. With no protector and no safe adult, Andrea became a parentified child — managing her mother's emotions, protecting her younger sister, and carrying shame that was never hers to hold. It's a story of childhood trauma, willful blindness, parentification, secrecy, shame, self blame, cutting, isolation, sexual abuse, physical abuse, sexual assault, coping mechanisms, suicidal ideation, hyper vigilance, perfectionism, people pleasing, emotional suppression, dissociation, betrayal trauma, conditional love, gaslighting, fear of exposure, trauma stored in the body, breakdown, therapy, complicated grief, forgiveness, and ultimately reclaiming her voice. Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation, physical abuse, sexual assault, self harm, and childhood sexual abuse.  To but Andrea's book, click here.

Shame is the abuser's final weapon — and it's the one that keeps working long after they're gone. Shame for staying. Shame for not seeing it sooner. Shame for what you tolerated. Shame for needing help. That internal voice telling you you're weak, stupid, broken — that's not your voice. It was installed by someone who needed you to believe you were the problem.Put it down. Not all at once. Piece by piece.The final episode of our coercive control series is about what true crime coverage never touches: healing. The identity you excavate after someone dismantled it. The shame you learn to put down. The boundaries you rebuild after years of being punished for having them. The therapist who gets it and the waitlist that keeps you from finding one. And the community of survivors carrying the same silence you are — people who look at you and say "I know," and that two-word sentence does more than a year of advice from someone who hasn't been there.Monique Tepe built something extraordinary while carrying years of alleged fear. She chose Spencer. She chose parenthood. She chose joy. This episode honors what she built — and speaks to everyone still building.You are not what happened to you. You are what you build after.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lori Morrison is a retired private investigator, former host of The Unlovely Truth, and founder of She Shepherds, where she works to expose physical, emotional, and spiritual safety failures within churches. She's also the author of multiple books on personal and institutional safety and is preparing to launch a new podcast, Shielded, through the National Police Network. Today, Lori joins us to unpack the unique and often hidden dangers of stalking by a religious authority — the added layer of coercive control, the importance of trusting your instincts even when the person targeting you holds spiritual power, and what churches must do to stop protecting perpetrators and start protecting survivors.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we explore how autonomy gets suppressed in mother-daughter dynamics and introduce the early stages of a new mapping framework we've been building behind the scenes. By analyzing patterns across survivor stories, we're beginning to identify core drivers, identity amplifiers, and recurring control mechanisms that shape these relationships. From dominance and guilt to perfectionism, emotional withholding, enmeshment, and instability, we break down the different pathways through which autonomy can be eroded — and how those dynamics create distinct daughter adaptations. This is the beginning of a deeper structural approach to understanding abuse — not just as isolated behaviors, but as patterned systems. If this resonates and you'd like to share your story — whether publicly or privately — reach out. The more stories we examine, the clearer the patterns become.

In this episode, Andrea sheds light on the disconnect between the narrative presented publicly vs the medical records and trial testimony. She traces how ketamine became the driving force in Maya Kowalski's treatment from Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick. What followed was a rapid escalation: four-day ketamine infusions, increasingly alarming blog posts written in Maya's voice, and ultimately a controversial, high-dose ketamine coma in Mexico. This sets the stage for Maya's arrival at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. *** Try out Andrea's Podcaster Coaching App: https://studio.com/apps/andrea/podcaster Order Andrea's book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.  Click here to view our sponsors.

Is it possible that the battles you're fighting didn't start with you?In this teaching, we're diving deep into what the Bible actually says about generational curses. Are repeated patterns of addiction, divorce, poverty, violence, occult involvement, or chronic oppression just coincidence… or could there be a spiritual root?Exodus 20:5 says God visits “the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.” What does that really mean? And how does that apply to believers today?In this video we cover:• What a generational curse is (biblically defined)• How sin opens doors spiritually• Why patterns repeat in families• The difference between consequences and curses• How Christ breaks every curse (Galatians 3:13)• Practical steps to break generational strongholdsSome of you watching have seen the same bondage run through your bloodline for decades. Abuse. Addiction. Sexual perversion. Anger. Witchcraft. Mental torment. Poverty cycles. Divorce cycles.But here's the truth:Jesus did not die so you could manage a curse — He died to break it.To sow into this stream Monthly/ONE time/ https://bit.ly/2NRIBcM PAYPAL https://shorturl.at/eJY57www.Isaiahsaldivar.com www.Instagram.com/Isaiahsaldivar www.Facebook.com/Isaiahsaldivar www.youtube.com/IsaiahsaldivarOrder My New Book, “How To Cast Out Demons,” Here! https://a.co/d/87NYEfcTo sow www.Isaiahsaldivar.com/partner

Why is it so difficult to recognize covert narcissistic abuse when you're living inside it? In Part 1 of this community chat, Olivia, Cindy, and Shannon share why they couldn't call their relationships abusive for years—even decades. When emotional abuse is subtle, mixed with good moments, public charm, and messages like “marriage is just hard,” the confusion runs deep. We talk about: Growing up with normalized dysfunction Calling it “communication problems” instead of abuse Faith, loyalty, and trying harder to be a “good wife” Intermittent reinforcement and hope resetting the pain Minimizing red flags—including physical aggression If you've ever wondered, “Is it really abuse, or am I overreacting?” this episode will help you understand why naming it feels so hard.

In today's episode, Edward Nachel shares his firsthand account of serving on the High Council that excommunicated Wade Christofferson –and the guilt, questions, and reckoning that followed. Edward served in the same ward as Wade and knew him for over twenty-years.We begin with the recent arrest of Wade Christofferson and the allegations that have surfaced, including sexually coded letters and reported searches found on his phone. These are allegations until proven guilty in a court of law. But Edward's story focuses on something broader: how church disciplinary systems operate, how secrecy functions, and what happens when there are no advocates for victims inside the room.Edward describes being selected for the Disciplinary Council, drawing lots to see who represented the abuser and who represented the church, being sworn to secrecy, the absence of witnesses and the victims, how the final decision was made by the Stake Presidency, and how ward members were never warned.At the time, Edward believed he was “on the church's side.” Years later, he sees the system differently.This episode is not about attacking faith. It's about transparency, accountability, and protecting children. Edward openly asks: What could I have done? Why didn't I do more? And what must change to ensure this never happens again?If you or someone you know has been affected by abuse in a religious setting, you are not alone.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.
