BONUS: Survivors & Abuse Continued - Rachel Denhollander on Faith and Accountability
Devil and the Deep Blue SeaShow Notes
In this bonus episode, Mike Cosper sits down with attorney and advocate Rachel Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse Larry Nassar of sexual abuse. Together, they discuss what it really costs to tell the truth, the devastating realities survivors face, and how the church can either protect the vulnerable, or fail them completely.
Denhollander offers a powerful perspective on justice, accountability, and the Christian community’s responsibility to confront both false narratives and the real evil within its walls.
We are grateful for Rachel Denhollander’s time, expertise, and contribution to this episode.
