“But one by one, light breaks through and change comes.”
― Diane Langberg, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

“Every time we treat someone with dignity rather than shame, respect rather than disregard, concern rather than exploitation, kindness rather than brutality, and careful attention rather than turning away, we are doing things that are the reverse of trauma and evil.6”
― Diane Langberg, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

“When I held my newborn children and grandchildren, I felt as though I was looking at a treasure box packed intentionally by God with gifts to bless his world. Opening those gifts has been one of the great joys of my life. Ignoring the gifts of God in any child, female or male, does great damage to the child. It also greatly impairs the function of the church, because those gifts are given by God for the good of the body of Christ and for the glory of God.”
― Diane Langberg, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

“We forget that anything done in the name of God that does not bear his character through and through is not of him at all. In our forgetting, we are more loyal to the words of humans than to the commandments of God.”
