246: #ChurchToo: "Christian" Child Abuse & Surviving Camp Tracey w. Gene Sellers

The System is Down with Dan Smotz

We've all heard stories about cover-ups of abuse within the church, but for the most part, people seem to shrug it off and assume the best... until it happens to them or someone they know. Then it gets horrifyingly real.
Today's episode is my conversation with Gene Sellers, who experienced this evil, first hand at Camp Tracy, where he was physically, mentally, and emotionally abused, in the name of "god". Gene was held against his will, as a prisoner, from ages 16-18 and what he witnessed and experienced in those two years, was nothing short of nightmarish and criminal.
If you, or someone you know, have had similar experiences to what Gene went through, please don't hesitate to reach out. I will do everything in my power to connect you with people who can help you work through the trauma and I will do everything in my power to shine a light on these satanic monsters.
