Our healing comes when our pain is given a voice.
Ever met someone who turned their darkest experiences into a beacon of hope for others? Meet Sandy Phillips Kirkham from Cincinnati, Ohio. Sandy's story is one of betrayal, resilience, and ultimately, healing. As a teenager, she fell victim to a charismatic youth minister who manipulated his position of trust to abuse her sexually, emotionally, and physically. This devastating betrayal shattered her faith and left her feeling isolated and blamed by the very church she loved.
Instead of facing justice, her abuser was quietly moved to another church, leaving Sandy to grapple with the aftermath alone. She wasn't his first victim, and sadly, she wouldn't be his last. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Sandy opens up about her journey to reclaim her life and find her voice. Her book, 'Let Me PREY Upon You', dives deep into the painful details of her experience and her path to healing.
Through candid conversations, Sandy discusses the grooming process, the complexities of forgiveness, and the frustrating statute of limitations that often protects abusers. She emphasizes the importance of giving survivors a platform to speak out and be heard. By sharing her story, Sandy hopes to raise awareness and support for other survivors navigating their own paths to recovery. Tune in for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation that underscores the power of resilience and the importance of giving voice to pain.
