S3E3 | "Patrick & Lisa Meister - Only God Rescued Us: Our Journey From Satanic Ritual Abuse”

This week, I’m honored to have SRA survivor and educator, mother, wife, author, woman of God, podcast host and author of ‘Only God Rescued Me: My Journey from Satanic Ritual Abuse’, one of my personal heroes and someone I’m lucky to call a dear friend: the one and only Lisa Meister back on the show!

I had the great honor of meeting Lisa and her amazing husband, Patrick in person over a lovely dinner recently and it was not only a highlight of my year - but of my life! Every guest I’ve had on the show I’ve only had the honor of meeting remotely and it’s so unbelievably special to me that I got to meet the Meisters in person. They are and were even more special in person than I knew them to be from a distance. If you’ve been following the podcast the past couple years, you know that Lisa has been a frequent guest on the show with 4 appearances to date and on this episode, I’m eternally grateful to also introduce to you today, SRA hero, husband, father, man of God, fierce protector, proffessor, SRA and child abuse advocate, and Lisa’s amazing, incredible husband, Patrick Meister! This is Patrick and Lisa's FIRST ever interview together - how special!

When I first met Lisa, I was so shocked and devastated at what she was talking about regarding her past, that I dove into all of the interviews I could find she had done, and in the process I came across a video featuring her husband who stood up in front of a crowd and spoke about Lisa in the most compassionate, supportive, loving, and protective way and I was just completely in awe of him for a number of reasons. Firstly, as someone who took on a role of listening to survivors speak about sad and traumatic things, he inspired me so deeply and helped me understand how to be better as a podcast host and a friend to my guests and survivor friends.. Secondly, many survivors never had an example of what a healthy relationship looks like and I believe seeing Lisa and Patrick’s marriage is a true testament to what is possible for a survivor. And third, with the culture war waging against men and divine masculinity, Patrick truly is a role model to boys and men everywhere and he’s the type of man I wish and pray to see more of in the world and in this fight advocating for our children and for survivors..And for all these reasons and more, I was honored when he said ‘yes’ to joining Lisa for this very special episode to discuss this very topic in how to support survivors in all phases of their discovery, disclosure, and healing journeys.. In a survivor’s healing journey, the role of the husband, friend, listener, therapist, and shoulder to cry on cannot be understated in it’s importance and I couldn’t think of anyone else better to shine a light on this topic than Mr Meister himself!

So, without further ado, it’s my great honor to bring back and introduce to you - two very special people in my life who we have so much to learn from - Patrick and Lisa Meister!
