April is sexual assault awareness month. It is also child abuse awareness month. At JTHM we’re taking this opportunity to shine a light on these epidemics and provide hope for healing.
Did you know that based on reported cases, every 73 seconds someone in America is sexually assaulted and every 9 minutes that someone is a child? What is more, if nothing changes 1 in 10 children will be sexually assaulted before they turn 18. It is estimated there are well over 42 million adult survivors in America today.
In this episode I’m chatting with my friend Sarah Embers from Kansas. She is a wife, mother of three and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, who is learning how to thrive in Christ. Sarah recently completed our JTH online study and it has been a joy to get to know her and watch as God heals her heart through community and support, as she continues in her journey to heal.
Tune in today as we talk about brave steps in healing and how to come alongside and support someone who has experienced sexual abuse.
