The Bodies Behind the Bus is a podcast centering on the voices of spiritual abuse survivors. We began with stories out of the Acts 29 network and have branched into many organizations since our launch. We are the discarded few. We have been abused, gaslit, ignored, slandered, deceived, intentionally hurt, and betrayed. Our stories were manipulated and our voices were stolen. We were left alone wit... more

Great pod! Good Christians standing up for what’s right is what the world needs right now
This is my personal thank you to all the people who have told their stories and to Johnna and Jay for hosting this podcast. Listening to other people tell their stories of being minimized, used, bullied, and abused by church leaders has helped me come to terms with why I’ve felt less and less comfortable at church over the years. The stories are told by every day people who were harmed by church leaders. And there is an alarming pattern. There is often no help for the victims and no change to th... more
Equating the SBC, Acts 29, or individual churches with what happened at Mars Hill is journalistic infancy. Making money on it is outright wrong. I am pro-storytelling and believe that every church in the world has stories of abuse and misconduct that need to be told and worked through. Doing so requires honesty and the desire to build something better, something new—not just tear down everything. Generating donations by tearing down broken but beautiful churches with no “so what” feels like util... more

The hosts seem to find pleasure in cynicism and making blanket statements/assumptions that are just not accurate.
