About this listen

 How do you reclaim your life after it's been burned to the ground by systemic corruption? Long-time friends Sarah Carter and Corinne Shark were forced to find out after joining brave survivors and speaking up about their own experiences of religious corruption and sexual misconduct within two organizations - a U.S. megachurch and an anti-trafficking non-profit.

Finally, after years of work to reclaim themselves and know their own stories, Sarah and Corinne are sharing it all with you.

The ruin.

The rise.

The return.

It's all here. Maybe your story lives in this rhythm, too.

    S1E2: That Time Our Publisher Broke Up With Us Via a YouTube Video (or, This is How It Works, Part I)

    Fast forwarding from the stories shared in Episode 1, we now join Sarah and Corinne at the point in their journeys when they realized they were being inspired to write a book together. The act of doing so ushered in a sense of freedom and return to self unlike anything they'd known since the devastating experiences discussed in the previous episode. Leaders of corrupt systems aren't big fans of having their misdeeds memorialized for all time between the covers of a book, though. Here in Episode 2, Sarah and Corinne share the first part of their publishing experience and how it, too, called Ruin back into their journeys.

    S1E1: What The Hell Happened

    You are about to hear the personal experiences of Sarah Carter and Corinne Shark, told by them, in their own words. Sarah's husband is the former lead teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois. At the time of his service, more than 25k congregants gathered at Willow Creek each weekend to worship. In 2018, multiple women came forward to assert that the founding pastor of Willow Creek had been engaging in sexual misconduct for decades. The fallout of this hit many lives, including Sarah’s. Corinne's husband is a former lead investigator for The Exodus Road, a non-profit whose website states they are “on the front lines of the fight to end human trafficking.” When the Sharks encountered a culture of inappropriate sexual behavior by organization leadership in 2017, they attempted to address it internally. They paid dearly for that act.

    This is Sarah's story. This is Corinne's story. Let the women speak.
