  • Thank you, Julie

    Having personally known 4 pastors who have s3xua11y abused children in their church communities(one died in jail, two are currently in jail, and one seems to have escaped earthly justice), I am so thankful for the work Julie does in exposing these horrific crimes and the many people who are involved in coverups.

  • Important Reporting

    The work that Julie is doing is vital in today’s climate of spiritual deception. She is clear and concise in the character qualities leaders in today’s church should be displaying.

    Also that any and all abuse in the church be brought into the light, so that healing can begin.
