The Church loves to preach about sin, modesty, and “godly families” — but when women are abused, the victim is the one who gets blamed. From purity culture to pulpit cover-ups, it’s a system built to protect predators and shame survivors.

In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we’re pulling no punches. From the infamous Paige Patterson “pray harder” advice, to the global “What Were You Wearing?” campaign, to shocking statistics about violence against women, we’re exposing the hypocrisy and the harm inside Christian communities.
