About this listen

 This week, we confront the grotesque hypocrisy of a megachurch accused of bankrolling a missionary who allegedly trafficked and abused struggling children in Romania. Despite sending up to $17,000 monthly, the religious organization refuses accountability, opting for the standard, despicable practice of protecting their institutional credibility over seeking restorative justice for victims. This systemic failure reveals how easily unchecked religious power enables horrific crimes while shifting blame.
