Only 50% of churches have a plan in place to respond to domestic violence.

As a survivor of domestic abuse, Autumn is passionate about educating the church on how to effectively assist victims. In 2017, Autumn partnered with Lifeway Research to sponsor a study on domestic violence in the church. When the results showed that only 50 percent of churches have a plan in place to respond to domestic violence, she published the pamphlet, “10 Steps to Prepare Your Church for Domestic Violence,” which has been used by many churches.

Autumn has shared her story of overcoming abuse and her message of hope in
Christ to many prestigious media outlets, including The New Yorker, TLC, TBN, The Eric Metaxas Show, Dr. James Dobson’s “Family Talk,” “100 Huntley Street” of Canada, and “The 700 Club.” Her writing has appeared in numerous outlets including The Washington Post, Religion News Service, The Dallas Morning News, Christianity Today, FoxNews.com, and MovieGuide.She is a passionate advocate for domestic violence victims, women in ministry, and adoption.
