After taking a break from his podcast and throwing in a couple of one-off episodes, I continue a multi-part series based on my 30 years of teaching the Catholic faith in my local parish’s inquiry program. In this episode, we begin our brief overview of the Old Testament.

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
