Today let's ask the question: What does the Bible say about sexual abuse?

TRIGGER WARNING As the title states, this podcast episode discusses topics like sexual abuse. Please take caution when listening.

Join me today as I take look at what the Bible says about sexual abuse. What are those weird laws in Deuteronomy about rape? Is God a cruel monster who forces people to marry their sexual abusers? What do the book of Proverbs and the Psalms say about injustice? What does Jesus say about abuse? I share some of my thoughts and opinions, but my goal is not to tell you what you believe. Instead, I encourage you to ask why you believe what you do and search scripture deeply for the answers.
