À propos de ce contenu audio

When survivors of sexual abuse within the Southern Baptist Convention refused to stay silent, they exposed decades of institutional cover-up and sparked a reckoning that once had the promise to reshape one of America's most powerful faith communities. But as people who experience sexual abuse know all too well, they are frequently victimized twice—first in the physical violation, and then a second time when they seek justice by disclosing what happened to them. The Silenced Truth goes beyond the headlines to offer a roadmap for confronting abuse in institutions everywhere.

      "You Always Knew!" (Tiffany's Story)
      Jan 15 2026

      We love listener feedback. We may not be able to respond to everything we receive, but we do want to hear from you.

      For decades, Tiffany Thigpen carried the weight of what happened to her as a teenage girl in a Jacksonville church. A charismatic preacher. A trusted pastor. And a pattern of abuse that powerful leaders chose to ignore.

      This podcast episode is hosted by Carolyn McCulley and features an interview with journalist Robert Downen about the historical context of the Southern Baptist Convention. At the end, therapist Deborah Bumbaugh helps listeners understand Tiffany's story through the neurobiology of trauma.

      Our executive producer is Rachael Berglund.
