EXPOSING
The Preacher Boys
podcast exists to shed a bright spotlight on the very real subject of mental, physical, and sexual abuse within Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) churches.
While IFB churches do not have a monopoly on abuse – it is an undeniable problem within the movement and must be addressed.
ENGAGING
The Preacher Boys
podcast exists to engage thoughtfully on the subject of abuse.
The Preacher Boys
podcast is not a satire site, nor is it a reflection of a personal vendetta against all who identify with the movement.
We must look objectively at the issues at hand, using relevant data and dialoguing with survivors to better understand and deconstruct the religious sub-cultures that lend themselves to abuse.
Every survivor's story is worthy to be told, and every survivor has equal value, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, current religious affiliation, sexual orientation, age, or any other factor.
EQUIPPING
The Preacher Boys
Podcast exists not only to rally not only survivors and advocates now outside the movement, but also to spark a fire of change within – leading current congregants, leaders, and pastors to effect change in their own churches.
Through interviews and contributed resources from trauma therapists, mental health experts, law enforcement, clergy, and other specialists, the Preacher Boys podcast should be a growing library of information for the pastor hoping to strengthen the security of their church, their capacity to minister to the hurting, and their ability to be what the church should have been – a place of refuge and safety.
