We're stepping back from the investigations and the numbers and the theories to focus on what's most essential: Listening to survivors.

This episode includes some advice on listening to survivors from the Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, the president of the Union Theological Seminary and the author of Trauma and Grace: Theology in a Ruptured World.
