Meet Sarah Stankorb, whose 2021 VICE article, "Inside the Church That Preaches 'Wives Need to be Led with a Firm Hand,'" broke open the floodgates. She then followed it up with Disobedient Women in 2023, which built on, and expanded upon, her original article.

She talks through reporting on abuse, speaking with and listening to abuse survivors, the dynamics surrounding women who come forward with abuse stories, the environment(s) that perpetuate abuse, and much more.

This begins our Thursday segment, profiling dozens of abuse stories, ranging from within the CREC, throughout the Reformed world, and beyond.

It's worse than you think.
