Baptistland: A Memoir of Abuse, Betrayal, and TransformationIn this episode of the Bodies Behind the Bus podcast, hosts Jay and Johnna introduce us to the incredible journey of Christa Brown, an author, advocate, survivor, and lawyer with a profound story to tell. Through her newly released book, Baptist Land: A Memoir of Abuse, Betrayal, and Transformation, Christa offers an unflinchingly honest exploration of her life's ordeals and the path to recovery and empowerment. This episode delves deep into the themes of resilience in the face of betrayal, the complexities of family dynamics, and the courage it takes to break free from authoritative and abusive structures. Christa's narrative is a testament to the power of speaking out and finding one's voice amid adversity.
