Diana WinklerChristianity, clergy abuse, men Leave a Comment

“Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me!” Do you remember that chant from childhood? Well, we will find out from my guest Allen Taylor that verbal abuse is just as damaging as physical abuse. We are talking about Allen’s new book “I Am Not The King”. Allen candidly shares the story of his difficult childhood, his relationship with his abusive father, and the events that led to his passion for writing. We talk about harmful legalistic churches, how he found the Lord Jesus in an interesting way, and how he found the grace to forgive his father. Allen is a great storyteller as well as a talented writer. Tune in to hear his great stories and valuable insights!
