Thankful to have been a small part. Extremely grateful that this message of damaging religious power dynamics that have twisted our faith, weaponized our religious world and bred a culture of fear and destruction. We have paid a high cost and so has our country.

I hope people will see and not take this lightly, wake up and change the power imbalances that destroy us all.

Thank you Carl Byker, Kristin DuMez and all who made this possible. Honored to work alongside you.

I learned so much from Jesus and John Wayne, thank you. I am looking forward to the documentary. As someone who taught many courses on American Christianity at university I was delighted by your insight (also envious, wish I would have written it). I am not surprised at the current state of Evangelicalism in the USA. As someone who grew up in the SBC it grieves me what is happening.

"...not calling for a departure, but rather a return to who Christ really is..."

Amen and Amen.

Looking forward to seeing this and also a little apprehensive because our old church walked through this process with several women. The abuse is so wide spread. I’m glad you’re highlighting it.

Thank you for your most valuable work Kristen. The movie will speak volumes. Prayers as this film will shout the message needed to end sexual abuse for all but especially in the church!!!

So excited about this crucial film and will spread it far and wide! BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 to the team and heroines who tell their story, the truth will be amplified...no darkness can hide will be a stark message for the abusers, and those who shamed the victims and covered up the truth! Thank you for this important film🔥!
