Church Protect has become a trusted source of insightful information and training for churches and people of faith, toward helping to keep the most vulnerable safe within churches. With years of professional experience helping Survivors, and understanding the minds, motives, and methods of the most sophisticated of sexual predators, a few things have stood out when it comes to helping churches properly protect the flock from the wolves who would seek to gain access, most notably an overall gullibility (when it comes to being manipulated by predators), and a propensity toward falling into the dangerous trap of "Misplaced Sympathies," where people are inclined to extend "grace" to the perpetrator, while sending the message to the survivor that she/he should "grow" past the hurt. It is to those with misplaces sympathies (or worse) that we offer insight re. how the Lord, through the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:31, describes just exactly how we are to understand the heart, mind, and permanent character bent and disposition of the pedophile. We previously posted the following, but it is important for us to repeat the following truth, that these uniquely depraved, dark, and twisted predators have reached the point of no return, as they have worked consistently and with focused energy... with eagerness and a diabolical drive... with an ever-increasing appetite for and immersion in warped, dark and deviant pornography... to reach such a deep and all-pervasive state of internal perversion and moral degradation that they: are masters of impression management. They have made it their mission to be able to present to others in a way that will gain the confidence of those they are manipulating, to gain trust, and to ensure those around them begin to trust them implicitly. That is why they love targeting churches, and especially love taking positions in church leadership, especially as pastors, as few people in a church want to believe that the smiling man, carrying a Bible, could be nothing other than a false shepherd, a fraud, a snake in a suit, and a wolf in sheep's clothing... 'The Devil Inside.' refuse to understand (they have a mind that is now morally inverted; they have reached such a mental disposition that they are incapable of normal moral reasoning or understanding: they are forever inverted in their perspective toward morality and have neither a desire nor interest in thinking differently about right and wrong; they are completely settled within themselves that what they do is right), are completely devoid of a conscience (the result of having purposefully, intentionally, and consistently violated their conscience to the point where they are free from the constraints of guilt) fully intend to break their promises (they will say whatever they need to say, while looking someone straight in the eye while lying to them; driven by a desire to intentionally defraud others), are absolutely heartless (have no empathy), are loveless (devoid of any sense of care and concern for another person; devoid of normal human care, concern, or compassion, and secretly feels disdain and contempt for those who do have care, concern, and compassion for others), and are ruthless/have no mercy (totally devoid of the capacity for mercy [leaving unchecked the growing drive and calculated intent to generate pain in another person]). Not until churches stop falling for the affable and congenial appearance, smooth insurance-salesman presentation and pitch, and the concocted stories, feigned sympathies, and “crocodile tears” of the fraud in clerical garp... "the Devil Inside"... will we truly be able to start protecting kids, and genuinely become supportive and protective of survivors.

Without question, Porn Hub has become a haven for deviant men, and is turning many of them into clinical white collar psychopaths. As Laila Mickelwait, Author of 'Takedown, Inside the Fight to Shut Down Pornhub,' has revealed, 91% of PornHub's videos were recently removed, due to the videos containing the sexual abuse and exploitation of minors. Miclelwait reports that, for well over a decade, Porn Hub failed to report a single incident of suspected child sexual abuse, as required by law. As one who: (1) spent 11+ yrs on Psych Staff within the PA Dept. of Corrections, (2) was recruited to design and serve as lead clinical staff within the nation’s first intensive treatment program in long-term Solitary Confinement, (3) logged more clinical contact hours in long-term solitary confinement than any Psych Staff in the US or Canada, (4) headed up treatment for a year for one of PA’s High Intensity Sex Offender Treatment Unit (a 65-bed unit, reserved for those assessed to be High Intensity or SVP (Sexually Violent Predator), (5) was one of a handful of selected Psych Staff to be trained by Robert Hare Ph.D. himself, for Certification in the PCL-R (toward the end of producing forensic evaluations for civil commitment, to retain dangerous individuals within prison; (6) worked clinically with over 4000 male inmates who had sexually offended (and reviewed the clinical files & criminal histories of 1000s of convicted sex offenders); and (7) did a uniquely deep dive into the minds of the full range of sex offenders (both within Solitary Confinement and General Population), I can assure you that porn twists men’s perspective, takes them deep into a form of mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual darkness, inverts their morals, and morphs them and their brains into a very different and deviant state of being. I have offered some insights from my years as a sex offender treatment professional on the following tab, on SurvivorSupport.net , which can be accessed under the 'Insights I' tab. The process of psychopathy is real. It progresses through predictable stages, is able to be plotted, and is fast-tracked by porn. It changes men in very real ways, to where they are no longer human, but a wolf in sheep’s clothing, simply hunting for the next serving of fresh meat to defraud, defile, and destroy. Once a man morphs into a sexual psychopath, the scary thing is that most are able to masquerade it, as that’s a key feature of white collar psychopaths (for more information about Sexual Psychopaths and this process, visit SurvivorSupport.net , under the Insights tab). More times than not, unless the intended victim knows the warning signs and Red Flag Indicators of this sophisticated type of predator, they'll fall for his dark & deviant deception. We discussed the dangers of such grooming, and the kinds of predators who would use the so-called 'Trans Movement' (which is better described as the Trans Deception ) on a recent episode of 'UnMaskingTheTransMovement Podcast.' It is important that people understand how predators use pornography to groom minors, and what happens to a young man's brain when he is introduced to pornography. In many cases, such young men find themselves on a pathway of progressive use, leading to very dark outcomes: The dangers of such progression cannot be underestimated, as the red flags of men progressing into deviance are being rebranded and downplayed, especially by means of the LGBTQ pushers of the grand lie called "Trans." Where as the warning signs are clear to those of us who've studied the mind, motives, and methods of sexual predators, by and large, the general public is being told to ignore such public safety warning signs. The following is part 3 from a brief series I did on the progression into sexual psychopathy for men: Given the dark reality of PornHub, it would be more accurate to call this criminal site by a more descriptive name...

If you are wondering whether you are a psychopath, the good news is that you likely are not one. That is because genuine psychopaths have little interest in the topic. But, in the event you want a little more reassurance, here is a quick test: Do you ever sincerely apologize, owning responsibility, and ensuring the other party knows you are sorry? Does it bother you when/if you realize that you negatively impacted someone else? Do you appreciate your conscience, and act to make things right, to clear your conscience, when you know you have done the wrong thing? Do you ensure that others are made whole if you have injured or negatively impacted them? When you remember that someone has been negatively impacted by you, do you ensure you make things right with them? Are healthy and reasonable relationships more important than winning, obtaining the objective, or getting what you feel is yours? Will you inconvenience yourself to help another person, even if there is nothing in it for you? Does personal integrity matter to you, especially as it relates to how you have treated another person who trusted you, invested time in you, gave of themselves, and extended themselves on your behalf? If you said something unkind, hurtful, or detrimental to another person, do you make it a priority to quickly humble yourself and make things right? Are you willing to accept less than you feel you deserve if it will benefit someone who is lower than you? If you answered ‘Yes’ to all the above, you can relax knowing that you are not a Psychopath.

The biggest challenge for the survivor of R itualistic Sexual Abuse is that they have experienced a profound shattering of their inner world. The level and degree of this type of perpetration is hard to comprehend for the average person, as it is incomprehensible that someone who sadistically harm a child in such a manner, and is inconceivable that a person could perpetrate such evil and inflict such trauma and terror into the heart of a child. This kind of abuse ( always involving rape, while other malicious things are done at the same time ) is perpetrated repeatedly, over a prolonged period of time ( usually years ), with a perpetrator who not only has consistent access to the victim, but also a deviant, sadistic and malevolent personality, who does unspeakably horrible things to the victim without any remorse or empathy, and who threatens the victim with serious harm and/or harm to a loved one should the victim try to resist. The rape victim is too young to be able to stop the abuse, and too vulnerable to be able to fight back. The result is that she/he must endure a continual living nightmare; while, simultaneously, needing to maintain an outward appearance that everything is normal so that no one becomes suspicious and starts asking questions. Thus, the violent abuse continues unabated, while the inside world of the victim becomes shattered and broken into more and multiple pieces, with each part helping to keep the core of the person protected and safe. It is these parts that take come out to take the abuse, absorb the trauma, and keep the information and feelings (i.e. memories) of the abuse from the conscious awareness of the victim, so that she/he does not lose her/his mind. As the survivor grows, she is left with only fragmented pieces ( often time many ) of a very damaged inner self, parts of her which are dedicated to protecting against any further hurt, yet also crying out to be heard. And, it is this inner world and persistent internal dialogue that the survivor lives with, tries to make sense of, but that she dare not even mention… for she has heard that “ only crazy people hear voices. ” And, with all the challenges she faces trying to keep her inner world together, the last thing she needs is for someone to confirm her worst fears that she actually is crazy. She feels crazy, but does not want someone to tell her that she actually is crazy. So, she keeps the “secret” to herself, and all too often suffers in silence. So, how is one to heal and recover from such internal devastation? Simply put, very slowly, over a long period of time, and within the context of healthy and safe relationships. And, therein lies the challenge for the survivor, since they learned early on that trust invites pain, and to be vulnerable simply invites someone to take advantage of them. Yet, they long for connection, since they have always lived in an inner isolated and secluded world, without the ability to connect with another person, while longing to told they are valuable and loved. Thus, they have an inner war continuously going on within them, which is characterized by a significant amount of internal dialogue… very pronounced dialogue… as the broken and wounded parts are still there to do what they have always done… to protect, to advise, to guide, and to reassure. But, unfortunately, the parts of them have also learned to mistakenly direct at themselves the anger that the perpetrator actually deserves. So, there is a great deal of self-condemnation too. So, what is a survivor to do, especially when she cannot find it within herself to consider that this phenomenon is actually true? How is she to risk getting help, when she refuses to ever broach the subject with another person of what she wrestles with on a daily basis? Those questions will be addressed in forthcoming posts, for there is much to understand about the journey into healing. But, for starters, as the survivor begins the journey toward healing, one of the most important things she/he will need to remember is that healing is a process, and the best means of helping that process is by ensuring that all of those separate parts have a chance to have their say, but have it in an orderly and productive manner. Simply put, it is important for each part to have a voice, while ensuring that "everyone is on the same page." Working to set up an internal conference room can be a good way of ensuring that everyone participates, has a say, and then agrees to the next step in the healing process... which usually has to do with both communication skills and ensuring safety. The following link provides an overview of the issue of dissociation, and provides a fairly comprehensive list of indicators of such abuse: https://www.survivorsupport.net/copy-of-the-complexity-of-healing

Simply put, a psychopath is someone without a conscience. There are two types of psychopaths: the bloody and the white collar. The former eventually ends up in prison with a few victims, while the latter usually ends up being promoted, having gotten their position in the firm, organization, or position by creating hundreds of victims (usually by stepping on and over them on their way “to the top”), who are either simply too afraid or too exhausted to ever come forward to shed light upon the perpetrator’s behavior… or they are too scared of the inevitable retaliation that would occur. In answer to another question recently asked re. “What is the primary difference between a narcissist, a sociopath, and a psychopath?”, in a nutshell, from my 11+ years doing independent research while serving on the psychology staff in a state prison (6 years of those were primarily spent providing therapy to men within a long-term solitary confinement environment), the narcissist, is all about self. He or she will put up a dramatic display of disapproval at not being the center of attention, and then will “take his/her marbles and go home.” The sociopath operates on the cost-benefit principle: if the cons outweigh the pros, it will be time to stop. The sociopath is the classic used-car salesman. He will do or say anything to make the sale; however, if he cannot make the sale, he moves on. He is the classic sweet talking guy that knows how to say anything to win the girl over, and will stay around only as long as it does not cost him anything in terms of effort. When he leaves (or she finally has had enough of him), he will simply move on. He will part company, never looking back at the promises made and broken by him. But, when it is over, it is over. However, the psychopath will take it to a completely different level, for he will never sever the relationship, and will never allow the relationship to be severed… at least not without making the other person pay a heavy price for the nerve of cutting off what he has worked for (i.e. manipulated his way into). That is what separates the sociopaths from the psychopaths… the sadistic desire to make the other person pay in a way that creates profound pain upon the person who dares to counter them or stand up to them. For the psychopath, power and control are of primary concern and interest. Money and sex are nice, but that is not the high that motivates the true psychopath. It is gaining as much territory as possible, and ensuring that it remains secure and unchanging into the future… for he uses those “accomplishments” as a platform from which to pitch his next PR move, as he positions himself for the next upward move (whatever that may mean to him/her in context). The truly profound psychopaths (the most intelligent and artful of the lot of psychopaths) have even one greater degree of difference… they will ensure that they either win, or they will make anyone pay who tries to stop them. These are the most sadistic of all psychopaths. The fundamental issue for the psychopath is pure ego… they fancy themselves as the master chess player. And, if they are thwarted from their objective due to someone standing up for principle, then it is “game on.” They will stop at nothing to ensure the person experiences as much pain as possible, and the psychopath is able to have the last word and the final say. So, an easy way to discern the nature of who you are dealing with is to consider the matter of: to what extent does the person stop when they are really gaining nothing from continuing to try to retaliate against you for establishing reasonable and healthy boundaries against them, or from actually thwarting them from oppressing or perpetrating against others? A sociopath will drop the matter and move on when the pain outweighs the benefits, or when there is nothing to gain by continuing the fight. For the psychopath, it is all about being allowed to continue getting what they want at others’ expense, having people recognize their position, giving them what they want, and/or “bowing down” to them. If that does not happen, then they will be characterized by becoming punitive and sadistic. Know in advance that, with the psychopath, if you prevent them from continuing to use you or others, or if they view you as someone who is attempting to stop them or prevent them from continuing to make progress in their plans (which inherently are at the expense of others, especially in terms of devaluing and disrespecting others less capable or more vulnerable), they will ensure that: (1) they will “have the last word,” for you dared to stand up to them, (2) they will make you pay to an extreme extent for having ever challenged them, and (3) they will make it their primary mission in life to make you pay and pay dearly in the most painful way possible (regardless of the price or extent of time that goes by), until they are able to stand over your body as the conquerer, with their boot on your neck… as a trophy to their mastery, and as a warning to anyone else who might dare to come against them.

As it is a little unusual for someone to ask, I am wondering what might be prompting you to ask the question? Not that there is anything wrong with you asking, but it raises what are likely more important issues. My guess is that, given the question, you have had long-standing issues in dealing with your dad, likely generated by behaviors and attitudes he has exhibited over the years? If so, the question would be a reasonable one. However, I find that when anyone asks such a question, there is usually some context that has brought about the question. All terminology aside, the clinical term “psychopath” is simply another way of describing a profoundly selfish and myopic person, who has reached a point over time where they have no interest in changing their selfish, self-entitled, self-absorbed, myopic, hurtful, and, when push comes to shove, mean-spirited and ill-intended ways. Therefore, by removing the mystique of the clinical terminology, it may be easier for you to answer your question with the following questions, Have I ever heard my father genuinely apologize for being hurtful, insensitive, and wrong? Have I ever seen my dad bothered by knowing that what he did or said may have negatively impacted another person? Have I ever seen my dad broken and contrite over emotionally wounding another person? Have I ever seen my dad make it a priority to ensure that he treats all people with an equal amount of respect, in terms of his words, actions, and attitudes? Has my dad made it a priority to ensure that I know that he loves me, and that he values me? Would my dad belittle any attempt on my part to share how I feel about him and our relationship? Have I ever wished my dad would treat me like he does potential clients or others from whom he stands to benefit from “turning on the charm”? Have I ever seen my dad freely stare lustfully at another woman in front of my mom, and even make comments that inevitably leave her feeling “less than,” or like she can’t measure up? Have I ever seen my dad freely access porn, despite knowing what it does to my mom? Have I ever seen my dad respond to those who are “down and out” through no fault of their own with indifference? Have I ever sensed that my dad secretly identifies with, or wished he could be, either James Bond or the Godfather? Have I ever noticed that my dad has the ability to quickly identify where others are wrong, but is able to justify away any character issues in his own life? Have I ever noticed that my dad and I seem to have a “love-hate” relationship, where anytime we get together, he makes me so mad that I seem to react emotionally? Have I ever noticed my dad is comfortable with allowing my mom to always wait upon him “hand and foot,” without really ever lifting a finger to make her life easier? Have I ever noticed that my dad is the one who dictates how vacations and “time off” are spent? Have I ever noticed that my dad can emotionally spew all over others within our home, then act like nothing happened? Have you seen your dad ever attend religious services on a regular basis, yet never display any inclination toward growing in gentleness, goodness, helpfulness, kindness, mercy, and integrity? Have you ever seen your father make excuses for why he “flies off the handle”, yet never does anything to ensure there is a decreasing frequency of such emotional reactivity on his part in the future? Have you noticed that your father is perfectly fine with (and actually secretly affirms, condones, and justifies) making those within his house “walk on egg shells” around him, for fear he get upset and makes everyone pay for it? Have you ever heard your father justify making snide and cutting remarks toward others, without ever ensuring that he worked toward decreasing frequency of such remarks? Have you ever noticed your father is comfortable with making prejudiced comments, with respect to race, color, or gender? Have you ever seen your father quick to “fly off the handle” over relatively minor or insignificant things? Have you ever seen your father justify being rude, demeaning, or threatening toward others who have never done him wrong, simply because “he is mad as hell and he isn’t going to take it anymore”? Have you ever noticed that my dad identifies with the idea of: “Don’t get mad, get even”? Does it seem that if someone were to ever cross my dad, that my dad would make it his mission to make them pay for it? Could you say that, with your dad, if someone has either made him mad or embarrassed him that he will ensure he will have the last say, the last word, and the last laugh. Have you ever noticed that your dad will ensure that no one ever tells him “No”? Have you ever noticed that your dad is able to pour on the charm with others when he chooses to, or when he wants something? Have you ever noticed that your dad actually loves things and uses people, instead of the other way around. If your dad was a member at an exclusive golf club, and finances became tight, would he require your mother to go without before he would ever consider letting go of his membership? Does your dad have a designated recliner that is “his”, and everyone knows that there will be hell to pay if they trespass by actually sitting in it? Did your dad have a track record of always making time for his golf games, fishing outings, poker games, etc., while missing the majority of your sporting events, plays, or other special events in which you participated? Though there are likely more questions I could include, suffice it to say that if you found yourself answering “Yes”, to the majority of those questions, it would be safe to say that your dad has become profoundly selfish (finds himself within the realm of psychopathy). As such, it would be wise to simply ensure you are not “casting your pearls before swine” (Mt. 7:6), for your pearls will be devalued, and you will end being disrespected by him on a regular basis.

The effects of associating with a psychopath vary, depending upon the extent of your association. If you associate casually, then the effects will be experienced in the form of frustration, irritation, or exasperation. However, if your association is more extensive, such as being married to one or having been raised by one, then the effects will much more profound. Given the psychopath’s adept ability at playing mind games, distorting reality, placing their responsibility upon others, using and manipulating another for their own benefit, using and abusing, and even deriving a sadistic sense of satisfaction from knowing they can control another human being with minimal effort, the impact they can have is both profound and lasting. The worst part is the victim (child or spouse) will find it hard to easily identify what is being done to them, the emotional damage they are experiencing, and the extent of the injustice being perpetrated; however, a deep part of them knows the truth and will want freedom from the pain. That is the point the Survivor starts to find that she/he experiences an increase in symptoms, and an inability to keep a lid on things like they used to. The following brief posts offer a snapshot of some of the characteristics of a sophisticated Psychopath, how the operate, and what the Survivor experiences after years of being under the control and abuse of a sophisticated “white collar” Psychopath. I use the term “Predator” interchangeably with Psychopath, for that is exactly what they are, whether their ability to emotionally destroy a child year-after-year, or emotionally destroy a partner or a spouse. So, what does the Survivor experience, in terms of long term effects? The following clinical indicators are pretty typical...

The fundamental difference between a sociopath and a psychopath is their motivation, and the means they employ to obtain what they want. A sociopath is essentially all about sales and personal benefit, while a psychopath is all about self-promotion, power, control, dominance. The sociopath will weigh the benefits vs costs, and will opt for that which will make the most sense in terms of forward movement toward his goals. The psychopath will set his sights on something he deems will benefit him, and begin a strategic plan how best to accomplish the desired outcome. There is little thought to the cost, as he is confident in the outcome, as they will utilize whatever means necessary to ensure a favorable outcome for themselves. Lastly, in terms of the extent to which they will use and manipulate others, a sociopath will do so, as long as it makes sense, ensuring there’s no negative repercussions afterward. If things “unwind,” he will simply cut his losses and move on to the next opportunity. The psychopath will ensure there is no deal that unwind, as losing territory and what he believes is his by right of conquest is not an option. If some situation starts to “go south,” the psychopath will ensure the other person pays a heavy price for denying him what is due them (what they have decided they want and are therefore entitled to). As such, a psychopath never lets a deal “unwind”, as they will employ any means necessary to ensure that doesn’t happen, including destroying anyone who might dare interfere with his plans and objectives.

Given the many demands pulling at parents, it is easy for them to fall into the trap of trying to make to the most of the time with their kids by being fun, or what used to be called over the years, “cool”. A “cool” parent was one who could relate with their kids, worked to bridge the generation gap, and wanted their kids to have a parent that their kids could brag about to their friends as being fun and allowed them to essential do what they wanted, follow their own supposed innate wisdom, without many limits being imposed. In counseling, we would call those “permissive parents.” Now days, it’s called, being “woke.” But, unlike in previous generations of parents, being “woke” is now being used as a sort of a personal accolade, indicating that the parent “gets it” with regard to how to truly parent in a way that enable your kids to have maximum freedom to explore his world. As a parent, trust me, I do understand the importance of being a parents who is enjoyable to be around, who says, “Yes,” more than, “No” when possible, and tries to ensure that kids can grow into their God-designed potential. However, most concerningly, I have seen a dangerous self-imposed blindness in those parents who are striving for “wokeness.” Without understanding that things have been unleashed into our youth culture, the likes of which have never been seen, to be a parent who strives to be liked by his/her kids at the expense of being wise is simply electing to close your eyes to the dangers active looking for kids with parents who “can’t see for looking.” Now, I am aware that I might be a bid jaded from having spent over a decade working intensively with the full continuum of sex offenders. However, during those years, I did a deep dive into the minds, motives, and methods of Predators… which opened my eyes to how they think, what fuels their hunger for young flesh, what drives them, how they groom, and what are the things they look for in their determination of whether or not to being their methodical manipulation of a particular child. What is one thing that became clear? The best protective measure for a child’s safety is a parent who is involved, aware and protective… not one who prides him/herself in being their own person, who takes a fairly “hands-off” approach, and who follows the winds and trends of youth culture in an effort to be viewed as “woke.” In response to both the article and the symbolism used by Jenna Galley, in her article on Unicorn Moms , who asserts, “ Unicorn mums are funny, up front and honest. They like to have fun and relax, preferably with a cold beverage. They do what they have to do to keep their kids alive. But they also do what they have to do”, I would suggest that a parent should put their beer down, and awaken to what is actually out in the culture which is very different than at any time in recent history. For, packaged in bright rainbow colors, sprinkled with glitter, and emblazoned with happy unicorns, are dangers to which such “unicorn parents” are blind to, as they who they are for just being themselves… as their kids are permitted to interact online and at libraries with other such “woke” parents, who are toasting themselves, along with all the other unicorn parents, for all the unicorn activities in which their kids are involved. Though I am aware that Ms. Galley is likely unaware of what the unicorn represents for Pedophiles (it is the #1 symbol used for grooming and communicating/identifying other pedophiles), since she used it as the theme of her article, as a symbol of the kind of parent toward which one should strive, I felt compelled to help awaken such parents to the methods used by Sophisticated Child Predators to not only communicate with one another, but also to identify, select, and groom their "targets of opportunity." Much like the military will identify a target by "painting" it with a laser for a guided smart bomb, Predators will paint their targets by symbols which can mark out a child who's parent is naive, thus unwittingly unprotective. Does everything have meaning and are used by to them? Of course not. But, some are well-known among those of us who've worked clinically with Predators in prison sex offender treatment. In fact, it surprised me how much I didn't realize until working with them for over a decade. As they are masters of manipulation and deception, they love taking what are actually cute and fun-loving childhood things, and turning them into useful tools for hunting.They will use symbols such seeming insignificant things as chicks, chicken, eggs, pizza, and rainbows. But, their #1 symbol? The Unicorn. So, yes, I appreciate the sentiments of such parents, as Ms. Galley, who to want to affirm themselves in their style of parenting, However, I do want to caution parents who feel that being “woke” is something worth celebrating ad affirming.

With the launch of Survivor Support, we are excited to expand the scope, reach and effectiveness of the original mission of Church Protect, Inc. Originally developed to help educate churches to the dangers of sexual predators, and to help educate them about the needs of survivors of sexual abuse, that ministry has now become but a part of a larger work, one that has, as its primary mission, help to support victims of sexual abuse, and to help educate others on how best to support and protect them as they make their way from trauma to wholeness. As we originally spoke in churches and in a wide variey of settings, it became increasingly apparent to us that we needed to expand the scope of our trainings to include a greater emphasis on training others on how best to support the survivors in their midst. Thus was born the the vision for an expanded ministry, with a greater emphasis on helping survivors. Not that our original committment to educate churches on how best to protect their children and survivors from sexual predators has chnaged, for it is still alive and well... infact, it is still growing. However, with the launch of Survivor Support, we are positioned to be able to significantly increase our help to survivors, while still providing the best materials available to churches and other organizations on the mind, methods, and motives of the Sexual Super Predator. Please spend some time parousing our website, as you will find a lot of information posted designed to help support survivors in the healing. And, as we will continue to add new material and helpful information on a regular basis, visit our site often. Before I close, I felt it fitting to recognize my former ministry partner's contribution to the founding and development of Church Protect. As Pastor Jimmy Hinton and I were originally introduced in 2015, our shared vision of protecting churches from sexual predators became clear, and our desire to combine our efforts resulted in the birth of that foundational work. With his involvement as CEO, Church Protect quickly became recognized as a leader in the field of educating churches and other organizations on the dynamics and underlying psychopathy of sexual predators. Our prayers go with him as he endeavors to shine much needed light into the darkness. We trust you will find this site both unique and useful. Should you desire to contact us for help, to submit a question, or to arrange for either a training or consultation, simply go to the contact page, and click on the applicable button. Our prayer is that Survivor Suooprt will become a useful tool for those desiring to learn how to better support survivors on their journey to wholeness, and a source of support for survivors looking for help and resources to help them successfully make the journey into the healing and wholeness the Lord desires for them, Blessings to you, Jon K. Uhler, MS, LPC, CEO & President Survivor Support
