Recently, I was able to read the book, Predators Pedophiles, Rapists, & Other Sex Offenders by Anna Salter Ph.D. This was an interesting read given that I had never read any of her material before, yet some of my conclusions and her conclusions are similar if not the same.

A key takeaway that stood out to me is the ability of an individual to have a higher view of their abilities than they truly have and how that translates to our efforts to keep those around us safe. Furthermore, Dr. Salter’s findings on deception, who is good at detecting it, and their ages was chilling. Our organizations, especially our churches have got to get away from DIY abuse mitigation. The stakes are too high and the probability of getting it wrong is large with potentially eternal consequences.

The Ezekiel 33 Project will be at the Tru Ministry Conference in Oklahoma City on August 23-24, 2019. More detailed information to come soon, but this will be an exciting conference not like many others. We’d love to see you there.
