This week on Worship Is My Weapon, Rita sits down with Tyler Bates to share his powerful story of survival and healing.
At 18, Tyler was sexually abused by a trusted church leader. For years, he stayed silent, believing the church would protect him—only to learn they knew and did nothing. Now, he's speaking out, seeking justice, and fighting for change.
Rita and Tyler discuss the courage to confront abuse, the church’s responsibility to protect survivors, and the path to true healing.
