Supporting survivors of Spiritual Abuse and Religious Trauma

 

“The Uncertain podcast, Tears of Eden, RetreatCon2023 and all of Katherine’s work over the last years add up to a lot more than the sum of its parts. High impact. High integrity. It is one of the most solid, balanced and informed organizations that I know of in this field. I am cheering them on to continue strong and bold in their very effective endeavor of supporting and bringing hope to religious abuse survivors.”

“I recently found your podcast Uncertain, and it has brought me so much healing and strength. I feel seen and heard just by listening to these conversations and for the first time in a long time I feel some clarity about the church and a renewed sense of hope after experiencing spiritual abuse. Thank you, and please keep doing this great work!”

“Tears of Eden and The Uncertain Podcast is a voice desperately needed in the church and Christianity. The Uncertain Podcast has helped me feel less alone in the wake of my own church wounds and has served as a resource for me in the healing of my childhood trauma - as abuse in all forms can be intertwined. I am thankful for the voice and safe spaces Tears of Eden provides survivors and support their work wholeheartedly.”

What listeners are saying…

“As a white male leader in church ministry, the stories that you are bringing to light are extremely helpful for me to hear. I am wondering if and when I failed to use my positions in leadership to create cultures that foster safety and openness for those who have and are experiencing abuse...God is using you guys for redemptive purposes.”

— Jeff Porter St. Andrews, Scotland


“I think it's so good that you're doing this. I'm even taking notes on practical ways to do a better job showing love to people based on what I'm learning here.”

— Carley Favero, Washington, D.C.


“Your messages have resonated with me. I have been compelled to reflect on my potential participation in Spiritual Abuse, whether as victim or perpetrator. As a recently installed Ruling Elder, I am wary of the potential for harm, intentional or otherwise, and fervently desire not to perpetuate that cycle as I begin to serve in my role.”
