Wade Mullen

I was conditioned very much to, you know, any sort of, that's why these terms, it really has been so helpful to find definitions to terms or find the language.

So, for example, the book by Wade Mullen, Something's Not Right.

was a great one just to put language to what you're feeling, but the same thing of the term love bombing.

And I know a lot of people quote unquote overuse these terms, but there's a lot of that that primes you to then continue to find yourself in these situations.

welcome back to the grace awakening podcast reckoning with abuse in the church i'm robert peters and i'm joined today by my co-host hannah fordice we uh will also speak shortly with grace executive editor of institutional response and author of the book something's not right wade mullen wade has previously joined us on a few podcast episodes many of you are likely familiar with wade's work he showed up on season one episode 13 in an episode on image management as well as an episode on independent investigations in Season 1, Episode 16.

If you are challenged with the typically rigorous and thoughtful approach that Wade provides to us today, there is more of the same in those prior episodes.

I encourage you to check those out.

Probably quite a few of our listeners could relate to the difficulty of our topic today, and that is giving meaningful apologies.

And if you've been following this space for any amount of time, you've almost certainly seen terrible apologies that cause immense harm.

So to unpack a good bit of that, we're excited to welcome back on, as mentioned, our friend and colleague, Wade Mullen.

And so he's going to dive in a bit more.

He touched a bit on his score framework in a prior episode.
