Death of the Pastor’s Wife and the Failure of the Church
I recently watched Death of the Pastor’s Wife on Netflix. This 3-part docu-series tells the story of Mica Miller, who was abused by her husband, John-Paul Miller, and died, either by suicide or by “murder by suicide” as her brother put it. Unequal Power Underlies Abuse In my writing about sexual abuse in the church, […]

| This is a fairy tale in thin disguise -- full of unlikely characters who inhabit a fantastical setting. I kept reading, waiting for the characters to act like real people. They never did. The writing is beautiful, as Ann Patchett's always is. But I w ...more | |

“Once you survive trauma, outrage is the warning bell that sounds when you hear truth being distorted by those who haven’t passed through shadowed valleys. Because you have endured trauma, you can detect their lies. Maybe it’s like having survived the measles or the flu. Your body now has some small measure of immunity and recognizes that same poison when it tries to invade again. I wish you would never have to know trauma. But when trauma does appear in your path, don’t fear it. There are things you can’t fight. Still, by God’s power, you will prevail. Our God brings life out of death. Sometimes there is no option except to let the waves of trauma engulf you for a time. Just trust that they will recede again. What’s left in you will rise up afterward, and that will be enough. More than enough! There’s more to you than you know. There is more to God than you know. Trust that the trauma will leave gifts in its wake—hard gifts like outrage and perspective. Maybe this is what faith is: this trusting that God will bring something new and beautiful out of the pain.”
