When Emily Joy Allison outed her abuser on Twitter, she launched #ChurchToo, a movement to expose the culture of sexual abuse and assault utterly rampant in Christian churches in America. Not a single denomination is unaffected. And the reasons are somewhat different than those you might find in the #MeToo stories coming out of Hollywood or Washington. While patriarchy and misogyny are problems everywhere, they take on a particularly pernicious form in Christian churches where those with power have been insisting, since many decades before #MeToo, that this sexually dysfunctional environment is, in fact, exactly how God wants it to be.
#ChurchToo turns over the rocks of the church's sexual dysfunction, revealing just what makes sexualized violence in religious contexts both ubiquitous and uniquely traumatizing. It also lays the groundwork for not one but many paths of healing from a religious culture of sexual shame, secrecy, and control, and for victims of assault to live full, free, healthy lives.
Do you find yourself in the same, unfulfilling, destructive relationships time and again? Or do you know your relationship has potential, but you can’t seem to unlock it? If, like so many others, you find yourself stuck on a “crazy train” of secretive, addictive, and self-sabotaging behavior, it’s time to turn your life in a different direction. It’s time to experience true healing and relational freedom!
Lori Jean Glass’s personal experiences with childhood trauma inspired her to develop the PIVOT Process, a powerful method for identifying and overcoming the root causes of attachment problems. In #HealthyAdult, Lori Jean provides insight and tools for addressing the psychological issues that are sabotaging your relationships. With her expert guidance, you’ll create new, more positive behaviors and stop making decisions that harm you and the people you love.
At last, you can get off that crazy train, onto a connected highway, and find your way to a healthier, happier you.

An adoption expert and transracial adoptee herself examines the unique perspectives and challenges these adoptees have as they navigate multiple cultures
"Your parents are so amazing for adopting you! You should be grateful that you were adopted."
Angela Tucker is a Black woman, adopted from foster care by white parents. She has heard this microaggression her entire life, usually from well-intentioned strangers who view her adoptive parents as noble saviors. She is grateful for many aspects of her life, but being transracially adopted involves layers of rejection, loss, and complexity that cannot be summed up so easily.
In "You Should Be Grateful," Tucker centers the experiences of adoptees to share deeply personal stories, well-researched history, and engrossing anecdotes from mentorship sessions with adopted youth. These perspectives challenge the fairy-tale narrative of adoption, giving way to a fuller story that explores the impacts of racism, classism, family, love, and belonging.
