Megan's earliest memory is of being abused, and that abuse remained a defining feature of her childhood, along with significant neglect. She spent part of her childhood in foster homes, part with her grandparents, and part navigating her mother's mental illness and addiction. Her history is so traumatic that Renée can barely control her reactions (and, you know, she barely tries), but Megan is remarkably resilient and ready to sort out the horrors of her upbringing and the abusive relationships that followed. In the process, she and Renée discuss neurodivergence, intergenerational trauma, fragile egos, addiction, childbirth, and more - and somehow they do a lot of laughing. Megan has so much content, and she delivers it with stunning cycle-breaker spirit, making it that much easier for Renée to map out her path to healing. There is a lot to chew on in this one, and it leads to a gloriously happy ending. Plus, Renée answers some listener questions in the intro!Support the show

The ACC minister's questioning whether ACC is the right outfit for people needing compensation after experiencing sexual assault. In 2023 the Court of Appeal ruled that sexual abuse survivors were entitled to compensation for the loss of potential earnings from when they were abused. Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's not clear what the minister's intention is. “It sounds to me as if he's looking to shift this liability to another section of government.” LISTEN ABOVE.

On Friday's show: Pope Leo XIV celebrated the first mass of his papacy this morning. And while his election is being celebrated by Catholics worldwide, he also faces some criticism from earlier in his ministry. We learn what survivors of clergy sexual abuse here in Houston want to see and hear from the new pope.Also this hour: So far, space tourism appears to be only for celebrities and the uber-rich. While its purported long-term goal is to make spaceflight more accessible, is it also making such travel seem less meaningful to the public? In the process, are we losing respect for what real space exploration can be and do?Then, from the mayor unveiling his proposed budget, to Yelp snubbing Houston barbecue, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And we preview the final concert of the season from the Apollo Chamber Players, which features world premieres by Houston composers.
What to do when a victorious soldier lusts for the beautiful woman he's just taken captive in an overseas war. In fact, her body already belongs to him as war booty. If they're alone in an alley, no one will find out what he does to her. That's the incendiary situation to which the Bible responds with the Beautiful Captive Law. The Bible's first step was to stop battlefield rape and protect the vulnerable woman from the powerful soldier. More than that, the Bible has strategies to get the soldier to control himself, even when no one is looking. Then the Bible brings the soldier to care for her, as the person she is. The Jewish tradition's next major step was in the 12th century when it empowered the captive to decide for herself what direction she wants her life to take, including going free without marrying him. Empowered or Abused: The Bible's Plan to Stop Battlefield Rape and Reduce Sexual Abuse (BfoT, 2025) shows how these strategies can work in our communities today, to reduce all kinds of sexual abuse. Tales of passion, martyrdom and a rare man who can “Just say no” to a rape he could have gotten away with -- can help us educate our youth toward a more respectful future for all gender relations, not just war-time rape. Surprises await both Bible-believers and Bible-skeptics. Learn more about your ad choices.

The complex legal landscape of vicarious liability takes center stage in this illuminating discussion with Lawyer Michael Mulligan. At the heart of our conversation is a heartbreaking Victoria case where a retired teacher-turned-tutor sexually abused a grade six student, resulting in a $2.3 million judgment. We dissect the Court of Appeal's reasoning on why, despite creating the initial relationship, the school board wasn't held vicariously liable for the teacher's actions that occurred after retirement and away from school grounds.The legal principle at stake here affects countless institutions across Canada. While the abuse would never have occurred without the school's arrangement, the court determined this causal connection alone wasn't enough to establish liability. Tragically, with the perpetrator deceased, the victim's substantial judgment may go largely uncollected, demonstrating how technical legal distinctions can profoundly impact survivors' ability to receive compensation.We also examine two other rulings with everyday implications for Canadians. If you've ever missed your traffic court date due to illness, take note: the BC Supreme Court has confirmed doctor's notes aren't mandatory for appeals. Alternative evidence, like medication receipts or witness affidavits, can suffice – a welcome clarification that removes unnecessary barriers to justice.Looking toward our digital future, we analyze a split Supreme Court of Canada decision determining that 5G antennas don't qualify as "transmission lines" under telecommunications regulations. This seemingly technical ruling means telecom giants must now negotiate with individual municipalities to install the hundreds of thousands of small antennas needed for nationwide 5G coverage, potentially affecting the rollout of next-generation wireless technology in your neighbourhood.Have you encountered any of these legal issues? These cases highlight how judicial interpretations directly affect everything from institutional accountability to your traffic ticket disputes and even your cell phone reception.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Send us a textWhen it comes to understanding the terrible adversities that some kids face, like sibling sexual abuse, it is important to separate the facts from the hyperbole and the anecdotes that get used to generate fear or to gain attention. Trusted and proven sources of information are critical, and there is no more trusted source for this topic than the Sibling Aggression and Abuse Research and Advocacy Initiative (SAARA) at the Crimes against Children Research Center, a center that has been studying family violence and related topics since 1975. My guest today to share information and resources about sibling sexual abuse is Tanya Whitworth, a Research Scientist at SAARA and a generous guest and advocate.

In 1987, the story of Rosario Baluyot's abuse and torture at the hands of an Austrian physician sparked outrage all over the country. She lived in Olongapo, or what was known as "Sin City" back then, due to rampant prostitution in the area.It was on October 10, 1986, when Austrian physician, Heinrich Stefan Ritter, brought Rosario Baluyot and Jessie Ramirez, another child, to a hotel room in Olongapo. Ritter then inserted a foreign object inside Baluyot. The following day, Ritter gave Baluyot 300 pesos and Jessie 200 pesos.Rosario Baluyot would eventually die from a severe infection in her cervix due to an electric vibrator stuck inside her vagina for over 7 months.During the trial, because of the lack of proper documents to prove Baluyot's age, as well as the lack of evidence to link Ritter to her death, Ritter was acquitted.For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at info@thepodnetwork.com.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories Hosted on Acast.

What you'll learn Understand the complex layers of abuse within marriage, including religious control. Learn how to reclaim self-worth and set boundaries after sexual betrayal. Recognize the impact of abuse on parenting and personal presence with children. Timestamped overview 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:38 Life in abuse felt like survival mode, struggling with presence and trauma 00:02:51 Religious abuse from spouse and faith community pressures 00:06:21 Marriage as an idol in churches, sometimes placed above safety 00:09:05 Beth currently focuses on a healthy relationship with herself 00:10:27 Pivotal moment: oldest son was choked, triggering decisive action 00:12:01 Her former spouse's therapy failed to bring real change or accountability 00:18:00 Beth offers coaching to women betrayed by spouses' sexual behaviors 00:19:02 Program helps calm intrusive thoughts, set boundaries, and cultivate gratitude 00:26:15 Contact info and encouragement to find strength beyond betrayal Beth Brunk's bio I am a believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I see His hand in everything around me, and in my life experiences. I give HIM all the glory, praise and honor for the healing, from sexual betrayal trauma, He has brought to me through different modalities. After being in an abusive marriage riddled with pornography addiction, sexual abuse, and blatant lies, I wanted my pain to end. The tightness in my chest to ease so I could take a deep breath. The physical pain in my heart to dissipate and for whirling, swirling thoughts to vanish. I wanted the pain of 23 years of trickle disclosure to go away. I wanted the pain I had been carrying since our wedding night, when he raped me then rolled over and went to sleep, to disappear. I wanted the horror of watching my new husband masturbate on our honeymoon to fade away. I wanted the trauma of being raped by my husband numerous times over the years, to evaporate. I don't believe that we can be fully healed in this life, we are human, and full healing will come later. However, I am fully convinced that the Bible teaches us to continue to work on healing and breaking generational strongholds, agreements and curses. I do the work daily. I now have the energy to get through my day without a nap. I have freedom in my thoughts, no more swirling thoughts and all that pain is dissipated! Living Beyond Broken is living a life that is thriving and abundant in all the right ways!!

This episode talks in detail about rape."I've actually been really scared to talk about these things," Paige told Renée as she started to tell her story and lose her breath. Paige had a relatively happy childhood and an appropriately "boy crazy" adolescence. Unfortunately, her first boyfriend was so abusive and controlling that, until recently, she kept the details of the five-year relationship buried far away from her consciousness. Now a happily married, 32 year-old mother of three, Paige finds herself suddenly overcome by the trauma - memories, feelings, all of it -- and she has come to the show hoping Renée can help her stabilize. Her story is intense and it was hard for her to tell it, but her bravery is stunning. Renée helps Paige understand her intense symptoms and new triggers, and by the end Paige not only has her breath back, but she also has hope and a plan.Support the show

From the Bible Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. Psalm 103:2-6 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. John 5:2-9a For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. Isaiah 54:5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Resources Intimate Covenant Podcast Intimate Covenant Retreat Trapped by Trauma | The Forgiven Wife Mending the Remnants of Brokenness | The Forgiven Wife For My Sister Sexual Assault Survivors | The Forgiven Wife Your Wife Has Been Sexually Harassed - Hot, Holy & Humorous Episode 64: Healing from Sexual Abuse, with Mary DeMuth - Sex Chat for Christian Wives My Larry Nassar Testimony Went Viral.
