Exposing abuse, confronting deception, and calling the Church back to biblical justice.
Christian commentary on abuse, authority, theology, and courage — by author and forensic psychology–trained advocate Holly T. Ashley, exposing what harms the vulnerable and confronting what the Church too often ignores.
I’m Holly T. Ashley — Christian author, victim advocate, researcher, and speaker. I write at the intersection of biblical theology, victimology, and justice, addressing abuse within the Church, cultural deception, and the responsibility of believers to stand for truth. This is a place for clarity over comfort, Scripture over sentiment, and courage over cowardice.
