Connections Between Spiritual and Sexual Abuse

In this episode, Dan and Rachael begin to talk about the connections between sexual and spiritual abuse. Sexual abuse is also spiritual abuse, but not all spiritual abuse involves clear sexual abuse. They discuss the nuances, definitions, and processes of these two types of abuse and the intimate connection between our bodies as image-bearers of our Creator and the violation that occurs when someone commits abuse against another. We enter into this episode knowing the topics of spiritual and sexual abuse carry a certain kind of heaviness for many of our listeners. Particularly in this season, please tend kindly to your body and know that you can return to listen another time if this is not right for you today.

It's so liberating for me to finally find peace and healing within myself and God. I was abused so much. Abstance is giving me such a pure feeling inside and it's liberating. I now have control of my life and horrible people are staying away...

Very helpful ty. Sadly this resonates. As an adoptee everything started in trauma then went into sexual/spirtual abuse. Later in life became very ill almost to death. I believe by the grace of God.. I'm here today trying to heal and trust again. I'm trusting the Lord will help with the shame and fragmentation. It's like baby steps going toward the Lord...my spirit wants to run to him but my flesh wants to run away.
