Churches must step up to heal the bleeding in the pews. It is time to repeal Rhode’s Island’s evil “therapy ban” and K-12 grooming policies. One man is on a mission to reveal how childhood trauma drives America’s top killers. Michael J. Menard, founder of United Against Childhood Trauma and best-selling author joins us. This is a must see.
On this episode of #InTheDugout with Mike Stenhouse, we sit down with Michael J. Menard, founder of United Against Childhood Trauma and author of the new book Greater Than Gravity: How Childhood Trauma Is Pulling Down Humanity.
Menard is a former Vice President of Worldwide Engineering at Johnson & Johnson with fourteen patents. He brings hard data from over 350 peer-reviewed studies showing how adverse childhood experiences drive America’s leading causes of death, addiction, suicide, and chronic disease.
Sten gets straight to it, unpacking the shocking reality that we’ve been counting bodies wrong for decades. A heart attack at fifty-five, an overdose, or a teen suicide attempt often traces back to unresolved childhood trauma — not the surface-level labels we slap on them. This hidden epidemic costs the nation $14 trillion annually and shortens lives by an average of twenty-four years for millions affected.
For Rhode Island families already stretched by economic pressures and social challenges, the stakes couldn’t be higher: real healing starts by confronting the root, not just treating symptoms. Learn more about the indisputable research by Sten’s guest…childhood trauma leads to early death.
Menard delivers a sobering challenge to America’s churches — the largest volunteer network in the country — arguing they are uniquely positioned with trust, relationships, and existing ministries to screen, train, and respond to the crisis.
Faith-based communities already counsel the hurting and support the broken; now they must recognize “bleeding in the pews” and step up. This is the tough conversation Rhode Islanders need to hear about accountability, family impact, and real solutions that go beyond government programs.
