Culture: Is Church a Safe Place for the Abused?

Dr. James Reeves felt God call him to make the church he pastored a place of healing for those who\\u2019ve been sexually abused. The impact of the church\\u2019s ministry has been felt throughout the Dallas community since its inception, and now it is leading the way for other churches to follow suit. Dr. Reeves and Focus on the Family counselor Geremy Keeton discuss why church should be the safest place for those who\\u2019ve been abused, and what it looks like to make that happen.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
