The topic of sexual abuse is taboo to our detriment. Silence and shame allow sexual abuse to continue and thrive in the darkness. A big part of restoration is bringing it all into the light.
The light changes everything. No matter how icky or uncomfortable talking about sexual abuse makes you feel, it is essential for healing and prevention. Based on statistics, if you have not experienced sexual abuse, chances are someone close to you that you love and care for has (or will), so this conversation is essential for everyone.
God can heal and restore those harmed by sexual abuse, but it is essential to understand the dynamics of sexual abuse and how it happens. We must go deeper to see all that’s involved. We need to know where to look and what to look for and ask the right questions.
I share my powerful testimony and what I have learned to offer insight and start the conversation. God has taken away my shame. He has given me my voice and empowered me to speak up for those who do not have a voice. Let's shine His light into the darkness of sexual abuse. This talk is followed by Q & A.
