Church Hurts, Healed by the Church :: Angel Ricchuiti [Ep 355]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Think of 9 women you know. Statistics says that 1 of those women was sexually abused as a child. This week, Angel Ricchuiti bravely tells us her story of sexual abuse within the church. She gives us hope that God heals, restores and is near to us through the body of Christ and skilled professionals. You will hear practical ways to listen well and come alongside a friend who suffered trauma as you are graciously invited into her story. And, you will be encouraged to think about the process of uprooting fears and walking in freedom caused by hurts. Be informed and empowered toward empathy and compassion whether trauma or abuse is a part of your story or not. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Angel is a wife, mother of four, as well as a trained counselor. </span></p> <p><strong>WARNING</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">: This episode contains references to child sexual abuse within the church.
