Pastor John Tucker and his wife Jane share comfort for those who have walked the painful road of sexual abuse by tactfully answering the following questions: Of all kinds of sin in this world, why is sexual abuse so devastating to the victim? For someone who has been abused, how do they know if it is something they still need to work through with a biblical counselor? What are wrong ways people deal with shame, and what is God's prescription for how to move forward to healing? How can someone move forward in hope and trust into a future relationship, not protecting what happened in the past in this future situation?

And if you're the friend of someone who has walked through abuse, how can you effectively come alongside and help bear that burden with them?  Website: smilingatthefuturepodcast.com Email: smilingatthefuturepodcast@gmail.com  Support The Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://donorbox.org/smiling-at-2024⁠⁠⁠ Recommended Resources:  “Treasure in the Ashes” by Maria Brookins  “Trusting God” by Jerry Bridges “God's Battle Plan for the Mind” by David Saxton “Making all Things New” by David Powlison  “Instruments in the Redeemers Hands” by Paul David Tripp
