This week, we look back at when Chris and Rich responded 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.
