About this listen

Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg has come face to face with the crushing trauma of sexual abuse, trafficking, domestic abuse, and rape—and its cover-up.

Even more tragic, she has encountered it all within Christian communities and the church.

As a highly respected trauma scholar and psychologist working in the United States and around the world for more than fifty years, she envisions a better way.

In When the Church Harms God's People, Langberg unveils what she has learned about how churches cause harm and why Christian communities often foster unhealthy leaders who end up hurting rather than protecting God's people. She also offers hope for the future, describing how churches can reflect Christ not just in what they teach but also in how they care for themselves and others.

This book is an invaluable tool for leaders and laypeople alike who want to help the church resist abuses of power and become a safe place for survivors.

Thank you, Dr Langberg. This is a very much needed book which covers many of the aspects of institutional betrayal and harm which can come to people within religious systems. You address things from many angles including the institutional, congregational, and Victim perspective and why these dysfunctional patterns keep persisting after several Hundreds of years, and I feel that this is recommended reading for anyone in a religious institution in which abusive situations can occur various forms. It is comforting to know that somebody understands the various trials and issues which can arise within an institution which is supposed to represent God. The listening experience is good. I would’ve preferred to hear Dr Langberg’s voice, but I appreciate that you may not have been able to do so at this time, and the narrator is a pleasant substitute. Thank you, I will be listening again immediately! Thank you for dedicating your time and effort to answer questions that the billion dollar religious corporations many times seek to evade answering.

A healing validating listen.
