{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Greater Grace: Scripture Weaponized Against Abuse Victims","description":"The investigation into Greater Grace World Outreach didn't just find alleged abuse. It found the reason nobody could stop it.\n\nTwo teachings sat at the center of the silence. One took a mainstream Christian doctrine — the finished work of Christ — and twisted it until holding a leader accountable for harm was treated as a spiritual failure. The other labeled anyone who raised a concern as a carrier of \"evil reports,\" someone so spiritually dangerous that just being associated with them could get you shunned.\n\nTogether, those teachings created a system where the institution didn't need to actively threaten people. The theology did the work. You were trained to see accountability as sin, silence as faith, and obedience as the highest virtue — even when the people you were obeying were allegedly enabling harm against children.\n\nElita Galvin has documented this pattern across decades of survivor accounts through her podcast Looking for Grace. She's heard the same story over and over — parents coming forward about their children being harmed, and leadership responding with blame redirection, forced forgiveness, and institutional protection. Oscar, who sat under these doctrines for years as a member, describes what it does to your mind when the belief system you trusted turns out to be the exact mechanism that made everything possible.\n\nThe investigation also found that when GRACE brought additional names to the organization during the review — people flagged for further investigation — Greater Grace declined to authorize looking into a significant number of them. This episode explains why that decision fits the pattern perfectly.\n\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\n\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
