And every year that community just grows deeper and richer. As one speaker commented this year, RESTORE is more of a restorative community than it is a conference. As great as these videos are they pale in comparison to being there in person. Also, I hope you’ll make plans to join us at the next RESTORE conference, which we’ll be announcing soon. To do so just go to JULIEROYS.COM/DONATE. So if you’re able we’d really appreciate it if you consider donating to The Roys Report so we can continue this important service. But of course these do cost us money to shoot and to edit. We’ve done that because we don’t want anybody to miss out on this valuable content for lack of finances. Alot of conferences charge for videos like these, we’ve decided to make them available for free. JULIE ROYS 00:02 Hi, I’m Julie Roys, founder of The Roys Report and the RESTORE conference, and you’re about to see a video from Restore 2023. Lori Anne has a vital perspective as a survivor and healer, and she’s distilled decades of experiences and wisdom into this riveting 52-minute talk. The voice of abuse survivors is too often missing-and silenced-in American evangelical churches and ministries. And yet, through that process, she’s learned the keys to not just surviving abuse and trauma, but how to thrive after abuse and trauma. She has walked a road no one should ever have to walk. But anyone who knows Lori Anne knows her as uncommonly kind, extraordinarily bright, perceptive, healthy-and truly, one of those people whose presence in your life just makes your life better. Statistically, Lori Anne should be a shell of herself. And then, after becoming a believer, the pastor who had become a father figure to her used his position to extort money from Lori Anne and her husband. It comes from Lori Anne Thompson, a victim of clergy sexual abuse by one of the most powerful men in evangelicalism for nearly 40 years- Ravi Zacharias.īut even before Ravi, she experienced the pain of abuse by her father. This edition of The Roys Report features an unforgettable session from the recent Restore Conference, and one of the most raw and vulnerable talks you’ll ever hear. After surviving abuse like that, how do you recover? And after being preyed upon by a powerful church figure, how do you recover your agency, your voice, your life? Clergy sexual abuse is one of the most devastating forms of abuse, impacting almost every area of life. ![]()
