Overcoming Victimhood

According to the CDC, 1 in 3 women have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact at some point in their lifetime. That means that 1 in 3 women in our church, in our community, in our friend groups, in our schools, at our places of work, and in our families are actively healing or have had to process that attack and go through the healing process regarding some situation where they were violated sexually. In this episode, we talk with Rachael Hogan who bravely shared part of her own need for healing, how that healing began and what role forgiveness played in the journey. We also noted that sexual assault doesn't only happen physically as the term "rape" is defined. Many women are assaulted mentally, emotionally, verbally, over text message, within the walls of a relationship, by violation of privacy, or violation of trust. No matter the situation, God cares about our brokenness and He desires to heal our hearts. We hope you'll share this podcast with any of the women in your life that you think might benefit from hearing this conversation and be sure to tune in next month for a new, exciting series on parenting!
