Even Church Girls Need Jesus
The second we think we are “safe” because we are in church, raised in the church and doing God’s work, we are dangerously UNsafe. I’ll be honest: I’ve met a lot of church girls in prison. Pastors’ daughters. Christian counselors. Youth group leaders. Homeschooled kids. Church secretaries.
It’s Not a Contest
