The statistics are sobering. About one in four women and one in six men are or will be survivors of sexual abuse in their lifetime. 34% of perpetrators are family members. 58% are known to the child and family. Only 7% are strangers. Tragically, we know that this can and does occur in local churches and homeschool groups. How can we help our children protect their bodies from those who would seek to harm them? Justin and Lindsey Holcomb join us in this week's Homeschool Conversations episode to discuss issues of child protection and body image, all in the context of who we are as image-bearers of God. Does this feel awkward to you, or are you unsure where to start or how to have these conversations with your kids? Justin and Lindsey share some great tips and encouragement with us in today's chat!

Dave and Ann Wilson interview Bob Lepine about the qualities of biblical love from 1 Corinthians 13. Love is more than a feeling, and there really is a kind of love that "never fails." But how can a spouse bear and endure all things when things feel unbearable? How can a person believe all things when his/her spouse is deceitful? And how can we avoid enabling wrong behavior, including physical and emotional abuse, as we pursue a marriage that goes the distance?

Today’s guests are Dee Coleman and Lindsey Holcomb. Both of them serve at Samaritan Village, Dee as the executive director and Lindsey as the communications coordinator. According to their website, Samaritan Village is a safe home and therapeutic program for adult survivors of sex trafficking.This episode is by far one of the most eye-opening, emotional, and practical on the podcast thus far. There were several moments where all of us in the room were left speechless as Dee and Lindsey unpacked the realities of sex trafficking in 2020, specifically in Orlando.We don’t intend for this episode to invoke fear, but simply to educate and encourage action for those who’ve been victimized by this unspeakable practice. As a disclaimer, the following conversation includes descriptions of sexual abuse and content some listeners or young ears may find unsettling. Listener discretion is advised.

Create Your Sermon Notes HERE   1) Bathsheba's Sin? Read 11:1-2 Not uncommon to view Bathsheba as a temptress, seducing the king Bathsheba is “a willing and equal partner to the events that transpire” [Randall Bailey] “Feminine flirtation” [H. W. Hertzberg] “Bathsheba’s complicity in the sexual adventure.” [Lillian Klein] “The text seems to imply that Bathsheba asked to be ‘sent for’ and ‘taken.’” [Cheryl A. Kirk-Duggan]   Four Reasons Bathsheba is far more victim than villain:   A) Bathsheba's Honor Verse 4 tells us the bath she was taking was a ritual bath to purify herself after her monthly cycle "Bathsheba was simply taking a purificatory bath . . . without knowing that the ‘good’ King was spying on her. The specific mentioning of the time of the bath, (‘in the evening’) further exonerates Bathsheba. Since her seven day ritual impurity ended at sunset (evening) on the seventh day (Lev 15:19), then her taking of a ritual bath at that time is not unexpected. It was David’s inability to control his . . . passion stirred by the bathing woman’s beauty that made him send messengers to get Bathsheba. To blame Bathsheba . . . is tantamount to blaming her for David’s lack of self-control. Without doubt, Bathsheba was a victim of David’s . . . lust. We argue, consequently, against the suggestion that Bathsheba seduced David. [Alexander Izuchukwu Abasili, “Was It Rape?: The David and Bathsheba Pericope Re-Examined,” Vetus Testamentum 61, no. 1 (2011): 15] If she knew God's laws about ritual impurity, she certainly knew His laws against adultery She knew the penalty for adultery was death   B) David's Dishonor First, he's not going out to battle as expected but is lazily remaining in Jerusalem Second, he's leering at his subjects from his palace It was helpful for me in January to personally see the view of the Kidron Valley from David's palace...   "It is not unreasonable to assume that the generally-accepted code of decency in David’s day included the understanding that it was inappropriate to look out from one’s rooftop or upper-story down into the courtyard of a neighbor’s property at this time of day, out of respect for privacy, since this was the normal time for baths to be taken. Still today this is part of an unwritten but strictly-enforced code of ethics prevalent in Middle Eastern culture" [Did King David Rape Bathsheba? A Case Study in Narrative Theology by Richard M. Davidson. Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 17/2 (Autumn 2006): 81–95.]   C) David's Power Consider the verbs in these verses: David saw . . . sent . . . inquired . . . sent . . . took . . . lay ... But what about Bathsheba?!? She . . . "came to him" (v. 4) Same verb used of Uriah in v. 7 ("Uriah came to him")   Neither Bathsheba nor Uriah had much of a choice!! "That the authority of David’s command was not to be trifled with is also confirmed in the later experience of Uriah: 'Uriah’s noncompliance with David’s suggestions, commands, and manipulations cost him his life.' Bathsheba is portrayed as “a powerless woman who was victimized by the conglomeration of David’s power, gender, and violence.” [Did King David Rape Bathsheba? A Case Study in Narrative Theology by Richard M. Davidson. Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 17/2 (Autumn 2006): 81–95.]   D) David's Condemnation Read v. 27  The thing David (not Bathsheba) had done. . .  Also, in chapter 12 Nathan rebukes David, not Bathsheba Nathan's parable presents David as a rich thief who takes what doesn't below to him and Bathsheba as an innocent lamb.   Read 12:13-14 David, not Bathsheba, is the sinner who is being punished But the thing about sin is it always causes collateral damage. And Bathsheba, is not just a victim of David's sin, but she's affected by the consequences of David's sin... 2) Bathsheba's Shame Read vv. 4b-5 These are the only words Bathsheba speaks in the entire narrative I think her shame runs much deeper than the fact that she's found herself pregnant outside of her marriage to Uriah   "Given the context of (at least psychological) coercion in this passage, the best modern expression to describe David’s action is “power rape,” in which a person in a position of authority abuses that “power” to victimize a subservient and vulnerable person sexually, whether or not the victim appears to give “consent.” David, the king, appointed by God to defend the helpless and vulnerable, becomes a victimizer of the vulnerable. Just as intercourse between an adult and a minor, even a “consenting” minor, is today termed “statutory rape,” so the intercourse between David and his subject Bathsheba (even if Bathsheba, under the psychological pressure of one in power over her, acquiesced to the intercourse) is understood in biblical law, and so presented in this narrative, to be a case of rape—what today we call “power rape,” and the victimizer, not the victim, is held accountable."  [Did King David Rape Bathsheba? A Case Study in Narrative Theology by Richard M. Davidson. Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 17/2 (Autumn 2006): 81–95.] Careful to note that the Bible doesn't use modern terms like "power rape," but it describes it even if it uses different terms   Justin & Lindsey Holcomb write sexual assault is “any type of sexual behavior or contact where consent is not freely given or obtained and is accomplished through force, intimidation, violence, coercion, manipulation, threat, deception, or abuse of authority.” [Rid of My Disgrace, 28]   Enduring this type of abuse from another (especially someone you trust to love and protect you) always leads to shame... Sometimes shame is related to our own sin Sometimes shame is related to being sinned against   Ed Welch: two types of shame (1) Shame from sinning and (2) Shame from being sinned against  “Shame from . . .sinful victimization is more difficult to resolve. Though the shame from [personal] sin is the deeper spiritual problem of the two, in many ways it is easier to cover. Such shame can be covered through a confession of sin, repentance, and faith in the finished work of Jesus. . . . Shame from victimization can be more stubborn. Confession of sin cannot release it because the victim is not the guilty party.” [When People Are Big And God is Small, 65]   A few months ago Rachael Denhollander shared a piece she wrote about her own battle with shame after being abused by Nassar as a young girl: Why didn’t you cry out? He probably would have stopped if you had. In fact, if he thought you would, it probably wouldn’t have happened at all. Why didn’t you cry out?   Why? Because I trusted. I was a child. He was a doctor. He knows best. He had cared for me. He knew me. There had to be a reason. I must be reading too much into it. It isn’t fair to assume he was being sexual. Think about who he is. Give the benefit of the doubt. I must be the one with the dirty mind if I can even think something like that.   Terror. Shame. Confusion. Shattered trust. Humiliation. Horror. Revulsion. Dirty. Used.   How could you not cry out?   I didn’t know.   Foolish. How could you not know?   Because I trusted.   It’s over.   But it’s not done.   You didn’t cry out.   I did inside.   Is that enough?   If you've been a victim of the abuse of another, you may feel dirty. You may feel like damaged goods.  We will work hard to listen to you, to grieve with you, to help you, and not to blame you If you've been the victim of any form of abuse, we will trust civil authorities to investigate. The church does not have the resources or the authority to investigate claims of assault or abuse.  The collateral damage of sin is greater than just feelings of shame, as devastating as those are. It also leads to real sorrow.   3) Bathsheba's Sorrow David's attempts to cover up his sin, culminating in Uriah's murder Read v. 26 "She doesn’t merely engage in customary “mourning” (v. 27) but “wails/laments with loud cries” (v. 26). The narrator here “uses a strong verb to express her wailing and lamentation, much more heavily freighted with emotion than the one he uses in the next verse of the rites of mourning.” [Did King David Rape Bathsheba? A Case Study in Narrative Theology by Richard M. Davidson. Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 17/2 (Autumn 2006): 81–95.]   Your sorrow may be different from Bathsheba's: Read page 39, Rid of My Disgrace     CHURCH: We must bear with those who feel like damaged goods     SINNER: See what your sin does!!!!   I know this is a tough text, but there is so much hope here when we understand the Good News of the Gospel!   4) Bathsheba's Savior   Bathsheba's sorrow is not the end of the story! She'll later have a baby named Solomon and from his line will come the Messiah!   The Gospel means we can actually condemn wrongdoing By what standard do you say abuse is wrong?!   C.S. Lewis -- "My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? If the whole show was bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find myself in such violent reaction against it?"   The Gospel means we can have confidence that justice will be satisfied Abusers will not get away with it!!! BUT DAVID DID!!!! No he didn't, the son of David died in his place GOSPEL!!!!   The Gospel means we have someone who can identify with us in our shame Hebrews 12:2 -- Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.   The message of Christmas isn't for the holy and the whole, but for those who feel like they’re damaged goods like Bathsheba, and like you and me.

“This is a complicated issue, but I truly believe that the Down Syndrome community is powerful enough to tackle this,” Lindsey Strickland on sexual abuse against children with Down Syndrome. We are so grateful to have our wise friend, Lindsey here to engage in this important conversation and empower us all to make a change. We know sexual abuse is tough to talk about, but our kids are #WorthTheConversation. Thankfully, today's guest is well-versed in this conversation. Lindsey has spent many years working for Child Protective Services as a case manager for at-risk families, and she also grew up with foster siblings who had experienced abuse. After working as a child advocate in a sexual assault clinic, she began to educate her community about the realities of child sexual abuse. Her extensive background, heart for outreach, and 6 year-old-son with Down Syndrome all lead her to create Worth The Conversation. Lindsey's online platform serves to empower parents to protect their children with different abilities. She acknowledges the many risk factors for our kids and encourages families to combat those dangers with fierce advocacy and clear communication. Remember listeners, you have the right to be present during your child's therapies, the right to drop in unannounced, and the right to set expectations and boundaries with your child's doctors, teachers, aides, baby sitters, care givers, and more. Let's shout their worth and protect our kiddos, it's definitely #WorthTheConversation. --- SHOW LINKS Follow Worth The Conversation on Instagram and be sure to check out their website for more resources.

Fruit of knowing the Good News is believing that God loves kids. He cares about their souls, he cares about their spirits, and he cares about their bodies. That is the focus of this episode: How can we protect our children, our nieces and nephews, and our friends' kids from childhood sexual abuse? How can we do it in a way that is not "shamey"? We explore it today with experts and authors of the important kids' book, 'God Made All of Me,' Justin and Lindsey Holcomb. (We also play a silly "Is this a Hallmark Movie or a Shmallmark Movie" game, and it turns out they are experts there, too.) Highlights: "We need to start talking young because 1 out of 5 kids will be victims of childhood sexual abuse before their 18th birthday."--Justin Holcomb "[If you talk about body protection with kids] it builds a trust so that if something happens, if they are exposed to something . . . they are going know, 'Mom and Dad know about this. They talked to me about this. They are safe and understand this.'" --Lindsey Holcomb "We are all about swimming safety, bicycle safety, wearing your helmet, getting in your your car seat, and wearing your seat belt. Add this to that: This is body safety. This is prevention and awareness. Lump it into that category, and feel empowered in your role as their advocate." --Lindsey Holcomb For More: https://lauriekrieg.com/podcast/keeping-the-kids-safe/

This may be the most confusing seminar topic ever. Is codependency really a thing? After all, no one can agree on a definition (this is true). Besides, the problem isn’t me; it’s the people who are hurting me or are destroying their life with addiction. You’re not going to tell me this is my fault, are you? Wait a minute, no one in my life is an addict and I’m not married, can I be codependent? These are just a few of challenges we will have to navigate on our journey. We will define the concept of codependency in greater detail as we go along, but here are a few foundational premises for how we’ll use the term.Codependency is a style of relating; meaning it is an activity rather than a condition.Codependency is more about why and how you do things than what you do. There are not codependent behaviors (what you do) as much as there are codependent motives, tones, and patterns (why and how you do things).Those who relate codependently struggle to rightly assign responsibility for problematic actions by others and self.The struggle to rightly assign responsibility makes it hard to determine “reasonable expectations” for others.The struggle to appropriately assign responsibility results in a difficulty regulating personal emotions.The struggle to assign responsibility and regulate emotions produces unhealthy relational patterns.Codependency is often (not always) associated with abusive, addictive, or controlling home environments.Those who related codependently are usually physically-emotionally exhausted and feel used by others. Unless we intentionally learn to think about responsibility, relationships, and emotions differently, we will continue to relate in a codependent manner. You may not like using the term “codependency.” That is fine. There is no magic in the term. “We don’t have to label ourselves at all. Deal with the behaviors that hurt and call yourself whatever you want (p. 77).” Melody Beattie in The New Codependency You may not feel like you have the emotional energy left for what change will require. But realize the number of crises and amount of drama around you is going to take a large emotional investment. You might as well invest that energy in learning to relate in a healthier manner.“Given how long you have already lived with your drinker under the present circumstances, you can tolerate it a little longer as you make small, controllable changes (p. 6).” Robert Meyers and Brenda Wolfe in Get Your Loved One SoberYou may have reached out for help before and been burned. Unfortunately, this is too frequent, even in Christian contexts. Those affected by abuse, addiction, or adultery do not always get good counsel when they reach out for help. Hopefully this seminar provides a resource to help you vet the competence of helpers you invite into your life.“In fact, many victims believe clergy have the most potential to help them, when in reality they are too often the least helpful and sometimes even hurtful (p. 16).” Justin and Lindsey Holcomb in Is It My Fault? If you look at the studies referenced by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb, what you will find is that direct invention helpers (pastors, police, lawyers) are initially less helpful to those in harm’s way than less direct intervention helpers (hot lines, social workers, counselors). When attempts are made to introduce change, even healthy changes, into your social systems before you are ready to consistently cooperate with those changes, the results are often a more difficult living situation.That is why this seminar is focused on you; more than your living conditions (i.e., abuse, addiction, manipulation, etc…). You will need to be ready to consistently live out the implications of any changes that are made in order for those changes to benefit you. You will also need to be ready to live out the implications to maximize the potential influence you have on your loved one(s) who are living destructively around you. With that said, one of the goals for this seminar is for you to understand the entire process. We will be taking a 9 step journey together that unfolds in three phases. A summary of the primary objective for each phase is listed below.Phase One: Steps 1-3 // Gain an accurate and unhurried view of your relational patternsPhase Two: Steps 4-6 // Remove destructive, dysfunctional messages from how your understand these patternsPhase Three: Steps 7-9 // Identify healthy ways you can have influence in unhealthy relationships and things you believe God has called you to pursue regardless of how much cooperation there is in key relationships becoming healthier See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode of the Undone Redone podcast, Tray and Mel take an in-depth look at Justin and Lindsey Holcomb's fantastic book for parents of young children called God Made All Of Me: A Book to Help Children Protect Their Bodies. This book is a wonderful tool to help parents educate their children in an age-appropriate way about their bodies...especially their private parts. As the introduction of the book states, "Education is vitally important in preventing inappropriate sexual behavior or contact. By teaching children about their bodies and discussing appropriate and inappropriate touch, you are helping them understand their ability to say "No" to unwanted touch, which will help them if anyone ever tries to hurt or trick them."

Welcome to the Shaun Tabatt Show! Today my special guest is Justin Holcomb and we're talking about his book God Made All of Me: A Book to Help Children Protect Their Bodies (New Growth Press, 2015). About The Book: God Made Every Part of You! It's easy to convey the message to children that their bodies or particular parts of their bodies are shameful. This misconception fuels confusion, embarrassment, and secrecy, and often prevents children from recognizing or reporting sexual abuse. God Made All of Me is a simply-told, beautifully-illustrated story to help families talk about these sensitive issues with two- to eight-year-old children. Because the private parts of our bodies are private, the home is the ideal environment where a child should learn about his or her body and how it should be treated by others. God Made All of Me starts from the fundamental truth that God created everything and applies that truth to kids and their bodies. It equips parents to talk with both boys and girls about their bodies and to help them understand the difference between the appropriate and inappropriate touch of others. God Made All of Me allows families to build a first line of defense against sexual abuse in the safety of their own homes. God Made All of Me is the first children's book written by Rid of My Disgrace authors Justin and Lindsey Holcomb. Parents of young children themselves, the Holcombs regularly counsel victims of sexual abuse and are profoundly aware of the dangers kids face. Their simple and relatable story, designed to help children protect their bodies, will be an important resource for every family with young children. Simple, relatable story for two- to eight-year-old children, designed to help them protect their bodies. Includes colorful, age-appropriate illustrations. Conveys a clear message that God made every part of the human body and that every part is, therefore, good (the doctrine of creation. Gently opens the conversation about sexual abuse that every family needs to have. Facilitates open conversations about appropriate and inappropriate touch. Overcomes confusion, secrecy, and embarrassment about bodies with truth.
