I think it's important to label it as the facts. And I really appreciate you calling out, like all the intergenerational trauma that affects most people right through, you know, the patriarchy, the past, like slavery, right, the killing of indigenous people, I mean all of us have been affected in some form or shape right, and it takes so much time and energy to do this healing work, right.
Ben Black's story is a powerful testament to resilience and the fight for justice. In this episode of 'Journey On', hosted by D.J. Burr, Ben opens up about his harrowing experiences with child sexual abuse within the Catholic church. He doesn't shy away from the difficult truths, revealing that his father also endured abuse by a clergy member, making their trauma intergenerational.
This episode dives deep into the complexities of surviving such profound abuse and the ways Ben and his family have fought to be heard and seen. Ben's narrative is not just about survival; it's about the relentless pursuit of accountability and change within institutions that have long enabled such horrors. He also touches on the role of privilege in his recovery, discussing how access to resources has impacted his healing journey. D.J.
and Ben challenge patriarchal systems and explore themes of forgiveness and spiritual growth, making this conversation both poignant and empowering. If you're looking for a story of strength and the power of speaking out, this episode is a must-listen.
