171. James indicates, “Women and girls are trafficked in America. Our newspapers regularly carry stories of violence and abuse against women and girls, often hidden in plain sight. In the dressing room of a women’s clinic in the Florida suburbs, I saw a poster about domestic abuse with tear-off tags across the bottom containing a help-line phone number to slip inside your shoe.” James, Half the Church, 23–24.

172. In the throes of the #MeToo movement, the church now stands at a crucial crossroads. By advocating for a culture of listening and justice, Mary DeMuth encourages the church to cross over to the places where people are hurting, to bind up their wounds, and to truly embrace the long-term reality of sexual abuse’s aftereffects. In the circle of that kind of empathetic #WeToo community, the church will become the place it’s meant to be—a place of justice and healing for everyone. DeMuth, We Too, 15, 20–23. See also DeMuth, “When We Neglect the Millstone.”

188. Villacorta asserts, “A personal story of one’s journey takes us through four stages: identifying, reflecting, experiencing, and discovering—the effects and opportunities of power and weakness that can deepen our relationship with God, others, and ourselves. Through these stages, we will find our stories informing us along the paths of power and powerlessness we have walked.” Villacorta, Tug of War, 11.
