In this powerful episode of Hey Tabi, host Tabitha Westbrook, licensed trauma therapist and abuse expert, sits down with Dr. Andrew Bauman, founder and director of the Christian Counseling Center for Sexual Health and Trauma.

Dr. Bauman shares insights from his latest book, Safe Church, tackling the intersection of mental health, faith, and sexism in church culture.

✅ How Jesus' treatment of women should shape modern church practices
✅ The deep impact of church-based sexism and abuse on women
✅ Practical steps church leaders can take to create a safer, more inclusive environment
✅ Why men must do their own healing work to truly support women
