Victim-Centric Approach Our work is, and has always been, Victim-Centric in its orientation and application.   This orientation is expressed in published materials dating as early as 2008, published by Christianity Today, and subsequently expressed in Church Executive Magazine, Baptist Press, LifeWay’s Deacon Magazine, SBC Voices, XPastor, Arkansas Baptist News, The Christian Index, and other published writings.   Writings specifically advocating for a victim-centered perspective include: Reporting v. Reputation – The Dangers of Prioritizing Reputation (Church Executive 2022) Reporting Abuse – The Church’s Blindspot (Church Executive 2020) Responding to an Allegation – How to Navigate a Sexual Abuse Crisis (Church Executive 2020) Shifting the Injustice – An Unfortunate ‘NO’ Vote to S.534 (2018) How Your Ministry Can Help Prevent Child Abuse Through a Safety System (ERLC 2018) Sexual Abuse in the Church – Is It Ever Too Late to Call the Police (LifeWay 2018) What Your Church Should Know About Child Sexual Abuse (Faith Talk 970 - Atlanta 2017) Lessons from the Ditch – What to DO and NOT DO in Response to an Abuse Allegation (2015) Sexual Abuse Issues in the Church; Raising the Bar (Christianity Today 2008)   This victim-centric approach informs the curriculum of MinistrySafe Institute (MSI), currently utilized by Dallas Theological Seminary, Liberty School of Divinity, Dallas Baptist University, and others.  Specific subject matters within MSI curriculum include responding appropriately to an allegation of sexual abuse and creating a model of care for abuse survivors.
