Former child abuse prosecutor Victor Vieth joins the podcast for a sobering conversation about child abuse within churches and faith communities. Drawing from decades of experience, Victor explains the prevalence of abuse, how offenders weaponize religion to groom and silence victims, and why churches often fail to respond faithfully. The discussion explores trauma-informed theology, the misuse of Scripture, institutional fear of lawsuits, and the urgent need for repentance, reform, and survivor-centered care.Support the showThe ministry of Christian Life Resources promotes the sanctity of life and reaches hearts with the Gospel.

This sermon centers on two deep human fears: abandonment and being unloved, tracing them back to the fall in Eden where doubt in God's love first took root. Jesus directly addresses these fears in John 14:18, promising not to leave his disciples as orphans but to come to them through the Holy Spirit. This promise is not superficial comfort but the profound reality of God's indwelling presence. Throughout salvation history, God has always been with his people, but now, through the Spirit, he dwells within them. The Spirit is not secondary to Christ but brings a deeper intimacy with God, actively working in believers to transform them. This indwelling assures Christians that while they may feel lonely, they are never truly alone or abandoned. The Spirit animates, sanctifies, and draws believers into love and obedience—not out of fear or obligation, but as a response to God's love poured into their hearts through Christ. As fears resurface, believers are called to trust in the Spirit's abiding presence. Ultimately, the sermon proclaims that God's presence within us dispels the lies of abandonment and replaces them with the enduring truth of divine love.

In this conversation, Victor Veith, a prominent figure in child advocacy, discusses the intersection of faith and child protection. He shares his journey into child advocacy, the impact of vicarious trauma on professionals in the field, and the church's historical indifference to child abuse. Victor emphasizes the importance of education, both for the church and for individuals, in addressing and preventing abuse. He also explores the spiritual wounds inflicted on victims and the need for churches to create safe environments for children. The conversation touches on corporal punishment, the lessons from Martin Luther's experiences, and the dangers of internet pornography, ultimately calling for a proactive approach to child protection within faith communities.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Child Advocacy and Faith08:14 The Impact of Trauma on Faith13:32 The Church's Indifference to Child Abuse22:03 Cognitive Dissonance and Child Abuse27:42 The Need for Community Awareness33:20 Corporal Punishment and Its Misinterpretation43:45 Lessons from Martin Luther's Experience54:39 Spiritual Wounds: The Intersection of Trauma and Faith01:02:41 Creating Safe Spaces: Church and Community Responsibilities01:11:57 The Call to Action: Addressing Abuse in the Church01:23:42 Navigating the Aftermath: Support for Survivors and Offenders01:31:32 charlieungemach-outro (1).mp4Victor's Links: Freedom for the Captives - https://freedomforcaptives.com/GRACE - https://www.netgrace.org/Center for Faith & Child Protection - https://zeroabuseproject.org/for-professionals/cfcp/(Book) Here We Stand: A Lutheran Response to Child Abuse - https://wipfandstock.com/9798385205769/here-we-stand/(Book) On This Rock: Centering the Christian Response to Child Abuse on the Words of Jesus: https://a.co/d/072rKL84(Article) Pastoral Guidance on the Corporal Punishment of Children(Article) Until the Blood Ran: the Influence of Child Physical abuse in the Life & Works of Martin Luther(Article) Applying Law & Gospel in Cases of child abuse(Article) Pastoral Care for Adults Expressing a sexual attraction to childrenGird Up Links:Website - https://www.girdupministries.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/girdup_podcast/YouTube - https://youtube.com/@girdupministries4911?si=bJQOUakikV4aUbc9

This sermon reflects on how modern wealth, convenience, and independence have shaped us to expect comfort and repayment, leaving little room for humility or mercy. Jesus' teaching in Luke 14 exposes our “Pharisee problem”: we grasp for the best seats and avoid the poor, crippled, lame, and blind because they cannot repay us—and because they remind us of our own dependence. Pride blinds us to God's generosity, but the truth is that we are the broken ones who cannot repay. The good news is that Jesus Himself took the lowest seat on the cross—mocked, beaten, and cast out—so that we might be raised up and seated at His eternal banquet. At His table, honor is given not to the proud but to the humble and dependent. Because we have been welcomed by sheer grace, we are freed to welcome others with the same mercy, especially the overlooked and outcast. Our acts of hospitality become a living picture of God's hospitality to us in Christ. In the end, the joy is not in repayment but in hearing the Host's words: “Friend, move up higher.”August 31, 2025

This sermon unpacks Jesus' hard words in Luke 14:26 about “hating” family and even one's own life. It clarifies that in Hebrew idiom, “hate” means “to love less,” so Jesus is calling His followers to detachment—to love Him above all else. Too often, we cling to created things—family, success, wealth, or even our own lives—as if they could bear the weight of being God. When we do, they crack under the pressure, and both they and we suffer. Jesus asks us to “give it up”—to open our hands and hearts by setting down the false gods we cling to, so we are free to receive His love, mercy, and strength. Taking up our cross is not about needless suffering but about learning to rely on Him above all things. When we surrender, He returns our relationships and possessions as true gifts—loved and appreciated, but no longer idols. With simple prayers—“Jesus, give me your eyes to see, your heart to love, your hands to serve”—we learn to place everything in its proper place under Him. Detachment becomes freedom, and the cross becomes life. In Christ, we gain immeasurably more than we ever give up.

1. The Trinity Is Relational, Not Just Doctrinal The Most Holy Trinity is not a puzzle to solve but a God to know. True Christian faith involves not just understanding the doctrine but entering into relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 2. We Know the Persons of the Trinity Through Each Other To know the Father, we look to the Son. To know the Son, we receive the Holy Spirit. The persons of the Trinity reveal and glorify one another in perfect unity and love. 3. Knowing God Happens in Everyday Grace God draws near through simple, tangible means: reading Scripture, prayer, the Church, Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord's Supper. Through these, we are known, loved, and drawn deeper into communion with the Triune God.

This sermon on the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple highlights the themes of waiting and suffering, both in the lives of Simeon and Anna and in our own. Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the temple for consecration, where they encounter Simeon, who proclaims Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promise, and Anna, who rejoices at His arrival. These two elderly prophets represent Israel's long wait for redemption, a wait filled with suffering and longing. Like them, we also experience waiting and suffering in our lives—seeking relief from sin, loneliness, grief, and brokenness. The sermon reminds us that Jesus, the Light of the world, does not stay distant from our pain but enters into it, sharing in our suffering and ultimately overcoming it through His death and resurrection. The devil tempts us to doubt God's promises, but Christ's presence—especially in the Eucharist—assures us that He is with us always. As we navigate life's challenges, we are encouraged to trust in Christ, who brings comfort and peace. The blessed candle serves as a reminder that even in darkness, Jesus is present, our light and salvation, guiding us until we rest in His eternal peace.Waiting and Suffering Are Part of Faith – Like Simeon and Anna, we often wait for God's promises to be fulfilled. Though this waiting can involve suffering, it is not in vain because God is always faithful. Jesus Enters Into Our Pain – Christ does not remain distant from our struggles but shares in our suffering. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He brings redemption and hope to those who feel lost or broken. Christ is Our Light in Darkness – Just as the blessed candle symbolizes Jesus as the Light of the World, He continues to shine in our lives. In moments of doubt and despair, we can trust that He is present, guiding us toward His peace and eternal salvation.

This sermon on the Baptism of the Lord emphasizes Jesus' identity as the beloved Son of God and the profound significance of His baptism. At His baptism, the heavens open, the Holy Spirit descends, and the Father declares, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." Jesus, though sinless, enters the waters not for His sake but to sanctify them for our salvation, cleansing and preparing them to wash away sin for generations to come. Despite this act of love, people often resist Jesus. Some desire a harsher, judgmental figure, while others feel unworthy of His compassion, expecting abandonment and condemnation. Both responses stem from fear and misunderstanding of Jesus' true nature. The sermon highlights that Jesus' baptism is a demonstration of divine love and compassion. He comes to restore the broken, free the bound, and cleanse the sinful. Through baptism, we are made beloved children of God, called to repentance, renewal, and a life of radical love and compassion for others. Jesus invites us to enter the waters of repentance, to be transformed, and to embrace our identity as God's beloved children. In this, we find freedom, renewal, and a mission to share His love with the world.

This sermon reflects on the disintegration of families and communities, identifying the human heart as central to the problem. The story of Mary and Joseph anxiously searching for the boy Jesus highlights the importance of being in the Father's house, where priorities are realigned, hearts are nourished, and families are strengthened. Jesus' response, “Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” underscores that spiritual grounding in God's presence is essential for individuals and families to flourish. The sermon challenges us to reflect on misplaced priorities—whether due to work, activities, or distractions—that pull us away from God's house. Pastor Vieth calls for repentance, reminding us that church is where we are born, fed, and reminded of our true identity in Christ. It is also where we are prepared to be sent out to extend God's love and mercy to others, strengthening our cities, neighborhoods, and families. Finally, the sermon encourages the congregation to act as a holy family, sharing Christ's love with the world and pointing others to the Father's house for healing, restoration, and peace. By reprioritizing God's mission, we are called to participate in the rebuilding of broken families and communities.

In the end, the worst of everyone's election fears —political violence, overt foreign interference or a razor-thin margin between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump leading to a hotly contested legal battle — did not come to pass. Instead, Donald Trump won a plurality of votes for president, and did so decisively. On January 20, 2025, he will once again become the country's most powerful executive.His victory raises weighty questions for the experts at Campaign Legal Center. Trump ran explicitly on a platform of behaving like an authoritarian, promising to fire U.S. civil servants, threatening opponents with jail, and brandishing military force against would-be dissenters. As his return to power approaches, we grapple with a paradoxical election, in which voters declared their preference for the candidate who repeatedly threatened the American system as we know it.Joining Simone in this episode are Trevor Potter, CLC's president and founder, and CLC senior vice presidents Paul M. Smith and Bruce Spiva. They offer their forecasts for the uncertain years ahead and explain what this election did (and did not) signify about the health of American democracy. Host and Guests:Simone Leeper litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at CLC, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy. Prior to arriving at CLC, Simone was a law clerk in the office of Senator Ed Markey and at the Library of Congress, Office of General Counsel. She received her J.D. cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 2019 and a bachelor's degree in political science from Columbia University in 2016.Trevor Potter is President at Campaign Legal Center. A Republican former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Trevor was general counsel to John McCain's 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns and an adviser to the drafters of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. To many, he is perhaps best known for his recurring appearances on The Colbert Report as the lawyer for Stephen Colbert's super PAC, Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, during the 2012 election, a program that won a Peabody Award for excellence in reporting on money in politics. The American Bar Association Journal has described Trevor as “hands-down one of the top lawyers in the country on the delicate intersection of politics, law and money.” He has provided testimony and written statements to Congress on federal election proposals, campaign finance regulation and, recently, the effects of the January 6th attack on our democracy. During the 2020 election season, Trevor was named to the cross-partisan National Task Force on Election Crises.Bruce Spiva is Senior Vice President at Campaign Legal Center. He is an attorney and community leader who has spent his over 30-year career fighting for civil rights and civil liberties, voting rights, consumer protection, and antitrust enforcement.Over the past three decades, he has tried cases and argued appeals in courtrooms across the country, including arguing against vote suppression in the United States Supreme Court in 2021. In 2022, in his first run for public office, Bruce mounted a competitive run in the primary election for Washington, D.C. Attorney General. In addition to founding his own law firm where he practiced for eleven years, Bruce has held several leadership and management positions as a partner at two national law firms. Most recently, Bruce served as the Managing Partner of the D.C. Office and on the firm-wide Executive Committee of Perkins Coie LLP, where he also had an active election law practice. He first-chaired twelve voting rights and redistricting trials across the country, and argued numerous voting rights appeals in U.S. circuit courts and state supreme courts during his tenure at Perkins. Paul M. Smith is Senior Vice President at Campaign Legal Center. He works directly with CLC's talented team of litigators to protect and advance American democracy through innovative litigation strategies.Paul has four decades of experience litigating a wide range of cases. He has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court 21 times and secured numerous victories, including in the important cases advancing civil liberties and civil rights, Lawrence v. Texas, the landmark gay rights case, and Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Ass'n, which established First Amendment rights of those who produce and sell video games. In addition, Paul has argued several voting rights cases at the Supreme Court, including Vieth v. Jubelirer and Gill v. Whitford, involving partisan gerrymandering, LULAC v. Perry, involving the legality of Texas's mid-decade redrawing of congressional districts and Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, involving the constitutionality of a voter identification law. He served as counsel for amici in several key campaign finance merits cases including McCutcheon v. FEC (on behalf of Democratic House members), Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett (on behalf of the Committee for Economic Development) and Citizens United v. FEC (on behalf of the Committee for Economic Development).Links:www.campaignlegal.org/support-our-workAbout CLC:Democracy Decoded is a production of Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization which advances democracy through law at the federal, state and local levels, fighting for every American's right to responsive government and a fair opportunity to participate in and affect the democratic process.
