Ron talks with Sandy Kirkham who is a voice and advocate in the area of clergy sexual abuse. 
She was sexually abused at age16 by her youth pastor in the Protestant church. He was 30, married and had two children. His abuse lasted five years until his actions were discovered. He was given a going away party and moved to the next church and Sandy was called by the elders and told to leave the church because of her behavior.
Sandy remained silent for 27 years until a trigger factor forced her to face the truth. In 2018 she wrote the book
"Let Me PREY Upon You "about the abuse and subsequent 27-year journey of healing.
She talks to us about her story and overcoming her trauma.
