“UNTIL THE TRUTH” Resources
There is hope for you and others who have suffered sexual abuse.
No one is immune to the impact of sexual abuse. We acknowledge the pervasiveness of sexual abuse in our society, and we are dedicated to supporting survivors in their journey toward recovery, healing, and restoration. We also stand in solidarity with other individuals and organizations working towards this cause.
That is why we are honored to announce that Dr. Dan Allender will be featured speaking about sexual abuse and trauma recovery in the upcoming documentary project, “UNTIL THE TRUTH.” This film, currently in production, explores the aftermath of sexual, psychological, and religious abuse. Focusing on the narratives of a group of women who bravely came forward with allegations against Bill Gothard, a prominent evangelical Christian leader, this film aims to shed light on the journey of recovery and explore the possibility of healing.
We encourage you to check out the film trailer below and follow along as the project is finalized and released. You can learn more at untilthetruth.com.
