Wow. That familiar rush of emotion is hitting me again.
While I haven’t personally experienced sexual abuse, I can clearly feel the emotional, mental, and spiritual toll I’m working through.
And sadly, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen sexual abuse pushed aside or hidden—especially by the church with the big cross over the main campus… almost symbolic of a silence that felt anything but holy.
That line about the cross and the silence hits hard. While I’m so grateful for your comment, I’m also deeply saddened by it. I wish my story was just mine, but the more time passes, the more I realize how common this kind of pain really is. Abuse in any form (emotional, sexual, mental, spiritual) is devastating, especially when it’s hidden behind the “name of Jesus.” I don’t know your name, but God does. And He cares about what you’ve experienced, whether or not it includes sexual abuse. I pray He heals and restores every part of you. I’m so sorry for what you’ve walked through, and for what it sounds like you’ve seen others go through as well. None of it is okay. ❤️🩹
“I know you expected me to come to you. To drive across town and meet you at the big cross…But today, I want to invite you, the Church, to pull up a chair. Join me for a moment at the table where the overlooked gather.”
Full. Body. Chills.
The table where the overlooked gather is where healing begins ❤️🩹
