Named as one of the “top 10 religion newsmakers” of 2022, Christa Brown has persisted for two decades in working to peel back the truth about clergy sex abuse and coverups in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention. As one of the first to go public with substantiated child molestation allegations against a Baptist minister—and documentation that others knew—she has consistently demanded reforms to make other kids and congregants safer. Kathryn Robb and I talk with Christa about her poignant new memoir, Baptistland: A Memoir of Abuse, Betrayal, and Transformation.

Sibling sexual abuse is revealed to be every bit as harmful as sexual abuse by a parent and affects the entire family. Yet, it’s not adequately understood or addressed, even by authorities and professionals.
