Episode 58: Consent In Marriage: Joy And Jason Harris: Part Two

Diana WinklerChristian marriage, Physical Violence, sexual assault, spiritual abuse

Welcome back to Part Two of my interview with Joy and Pastor Jason Harris from Cairns, Australia. We continue with their story of abuse at the hands of Larry, Joy’s ex husband and Jason’s father. This week we talk about Kevin, Joy’s oldest son, a pastor who believes his mother’s rape was her fault, and that she should repent. Kevin is also a defender of pedophiles like Jack Schapp and believes children are guilty of consenting to being groomed and violated by adults. Joy and Jason both share their journey of healing, what to do if you’re in an abusive marriage, and how can pastors help abuse victims instead of contributing to their suffering. You’ll definitely want to hear the rest of my conversation with Joy and Jason!
