Let's take a trip back to 2016 when Chris and Rich interviewed Pastor Nate Pickowiz about his book, "Reviving New England." Pastor Nate reveals to the church that the key to reviving the land of which once birthed revival in America, and even in the nation itself, lies in the faithful preaching and exposition of Scripture. In a time of spiritual deadness, life comes only by the Word of God.

This week, Chris and Rich respond to objections raised to Chris' article "Should We Platform Survivors to End Abuse in The Church?" Some readers questioned if the article sought to silence victims, if the Bible was truly the best source to treat trauma, and who is the church platforming? Chris and Rich seek to answer the objections biblically and with grace in a topic that can often be controversial.

Truth Be Known Episode: The Problem With Platforming Abuse Victims

In a podcast crossover event, Nathaniel Jolly and Ekkie Tepsupornchai of the Truth Be Known Podcast join Chris this week. Christian doctrine continues to come under attack under the guise of advocating for victims and survivors of abuse and oppression. But do these doctrines really lead to the abuse as is so often claimed? Are advocates throwing out Scripture in their efforts to draw concern to victimhood in evangelicalism? These two pastors encourage Christians to stand firm in the Word and not to be swayed by those whose identity can often be found more in trauma than in the Savior.
