A few days before recording this episode, a federal court sentenced a former Church of Christ minister to 45 years in prison for a long list of sex crimes he committed against minors in one of the congregations where he worked. Special guest Jimmy Hinton talks about what he describes as an "epidemic" of sex abuse by leaders in Church of Christ congregations. Jimmy shares his own story of what sexual abuse cost him and his congregation. He also reveals what congregations can do to protect their members from sex crimes and what those that uncover sexual abuse in their midst can do to eliminate the danger and start to heal.
