In this probing episode of the #SiblingsToo podcast, host Nancy Morris explores the challenges of representing sibling sexual abuse (SSA) in television programs, joined by experts and survivors Brinn Langdale, Diane Tarantini, and Tanith McCulloch. Against the backdrop of media representations like HBO's White Lotus and the UK's Hollyoaks, they navigate the multifaceted conversations surrounding SSA and highlight the urgency for responsible and informed storytelling. The episode critiques the portrayal of sibling sexual behavior in popular media, emphasizing the importance of accuracy, sensitivity, and comprehensive research in storytelling. Drawing on experiences with Hollyoaks and its reflective storytelling approach, the guests discuss how programs can shed light on the realities of SSA without resorting to sensationalism. Central themes include the societal need to recognize the prevalence of sibling sexual abuse and the vital role of resources and compassionate narratives in media. Engaging in this sensitive dialogue, they call for narratives that not only entertain but educate and provide pathways to healing and understanding for audiences worldwide.   Guest bios: Brinn Langdale is a sibling sexual abuse survivor, a licensed therapist, writer, speaker, and host of the Wholistic Approach to Healing podcast. She's also the founder of Wholistic Approach, a transformational coaching program focused on healing the whole you. www.brinnlangdale.com   Diane Tarantini is a sibling sexual abuse survivor based in Morgantown, West Virginia. She is an accomplished author, having written a children's book "The Brave Knight" and a memoir "Everyone Was Silent". Diane also works as a body safety educator, delivering crucial educational programs to public schools. https://dianetarantini.com   Tanith McCulloch served as the Sibling Sexual Abuse Project Officer for SARSAS in the UK. In addition to her role as a counselor and supervisor, Tanith actively contributed to the sensitive portrayal of sibling sexual abuse in the British TV show Hollyoaks, assisting in script authenticity and accuracy.   Key Takeaways:   Prevalence and Awareness: Sibling sexual abuse is a significant issue impacting numerous individuals, yet it remains underrepresented in popular media narratives. Consent and Responsibility: Media portrayals often fail to adequately address the complexities of consent, particularly in instances involving drugs or alcohol, portraying behaviors as consensual rather than abusive. Social Media and Survivor Communities: The episode discusses how social media serves as both a platform for survivor voices and a space for misinformation, emphasizing the need for informed conversation. Healing and Resources: Highlighting the fight for accurate storytelling, the discussion addresses the importance of providing resources and support for survivors within media representations. Future of SSA in Media: Diane, Tanith, and Brinn delved into their visions for future media portrayals which should influence public perceptions and lead to greater societal change.   Notable Quotes: "In the survivor groups that I'm a part of... to have a loss of connection to your family is a huge part of sibling sexual abuse that I don't think is being talked about." - Brinn Langdale "We have to come away from that narrative that it is a fantasy...and branch it out so people are being seen and represented." - Tanith McCulloch "In a perfect world, I would love to see the survivor disclose and have a positive experience with that, like they're believed, they're supported." - Diane Tarantini "Bring all the storylines and then let's get together on these kinds of calls with lived experience people ... to really start to pull this apart." – Nancy Morris     Resources: SARSAS RAINN White Lotus Hollyoaks     Chapters   0:00 Sibling Sexual Abuse Representation in Media and Its Impact 4:49 Controversial White Lotus Scene Sparks Social Media Debate 8:07 Addressing Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Complex Impacts 12:49 Understanding Consent and Its Complexities in Media Narratives 15:15 Sibling Sexual Abuse Representation in Media and Its Challenges 23:58 Anticipation and Uncertainty in White Lotus' Final Episode 27:33 Understanding Sibling Sexual Trauma and Individual Reactions 31:23 Complex Storylines in Media and Their Impact on Audiences 33:19 The Debate Over Trigger Warnings and Their Impact 41:21 Diverse Media Representation of Complex SSA and SSB Experiences 44:58 Sibling Sexual Abuse and Family Dynamics in Media 49:21 Media's Role in Addressing Sibling Sexual Abuse Narratives

Some said that the killer couldn't be a local. Others claimed that he was the wealthy son of a prominent Morgantown family. Whispers spread that Mared and Karen were sacrificed by a satanic cult or had been victims of a madman poised to strike again. Then the handwritten letters began to arrive: "You will locate the bodies of the girls covered over with brush--look carefully. The animals are now on the move." Investigators didn't find too few suspects--they had far too many. There was the campus janitor with a fur fetish, the "harmless" deliveryman who beat a woman nearly to death, the nursing home orderly with the bloody broomstick and the bouncer with the "girlish" laugh who threatened to cut off people's heads. Local authors Geoffrey C. Fuller and S. James McLaughlin tell the complete story of the murders for the first time. Geoffrey C. Fuller has written for literary and commercial magazines and contributed to twenty-five fiction and nonfiction books.

On today's program, Willow Creek Pastor Dave Dummit announced this week he is stepping down as leader of the influential Chicagoland megachurch. Leaders have also named his successor. And, revenue is down for Steven Furtick's Elevation Church, while in-person membership is flat. We'll take a closer look at the church's 2024 annual report.  Plus, the state of the church—Barna Group released its new report showing men have outpaced women in church attendance, reversing a longstanding trend. We'll have details. But first, more churches are leaving what's known as ‘the Network,' led by Steve Morgan. Nearly half of the congregations that have been associated with a “Network” of churches overseen by Pastor Steve Morgan have either publicly announced their departure or removed any reference to the network from their websites. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Bob Smietana, Shannon Cuthrell, Diana Chandler, Brittany Smith, and Christina Darnell. A special thanks to Baptist Press for contributing material for this week's podcast. Until next time, may God bless you.   MANUSCRIPT:    FIRST SEGMENT Warren:  Hello everybody. I'm Warren Smith, coming to you this week from Charlotte, North Carolina. Natasha: And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren: On today's program, Willow Creek Pastor Dave Dummit announced this week he is stepping down as leader of the influential Chicagoland megachurch. Leaders have also named his successor. And, revenue is down for Steven Furtick's Elevation Church, while in-person membership is flat. We'll take a closer look at the church's 2024 annual report. Plus, the state of the church—Barna Group released its new report showing men have outpaced women in church attendance, reversing a longstanding trend. We'll have details. Natasha: But first, more churches are leaving what's known as ‘the Network,' led by Steve Morgan. Warren: Nearly half of the congregations that have been associated with a “Network” of churches overseen by Pastor Steve Morgan have either publicly announced their departure or removed any reference to the network from their websites. MinistryWatch began reporting about Morgan in 2022 when a watchdog group called “Leaving the Network” issued an eight-point “call to action,” including an independent investigation of the group. Morgan, who was originally part of the Vineyard Association of Churches, left that group in 2006 and formed his own network. At one point, the network included 26 churches in the U.S., U.K., and Taiwan. Morgan is still the lead pastor of Joshua Church in Austin, Texas. Natasha: Why were churches leaving? Warren: One of the concerns that “Leaving the Network” has raised is that Morgan was arrested in 1987 for aggravated criminal sodomy of a minor, but his case was diverted. The group believes Morgan's past has been concealed from members and leaders in the network of churches. Natasha: Eleven churches no longer appear to be affiliated with the Network. MinistryWatch reported about four — Isaiah Church, Vine Church, North Pines Church, and Hosea Church — last fall. Now seven more have indicated in some way that they are no longer part of the Network. Warren: Brookfield Church in Athens, Ohio: Cedar Heights Church in State College, Penn.: Mountain Heights Church in Morgantown, W.V.: Oaks Church in Muncie, Ind.: South Grove Church in Athens, Ga.: Vida Springs Church in Gainesville, Fla.: Christland Church in College Station, Texas: Natasha: Next, Willow Creek's Pastor steps down. Warren: David Dummitt, who became pastor of Willow Creek Church at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,
