 In this special episode, I take a step back from my usual deep dives into raw truths and invite you to see another side of me—beyond the strong survivor. With my husband on the mic in a playful, light-hearted interview, you'll hear laughter, honesty, and the moments in between. It’s a softer, more personal glimpse into my life, where love and resilience meet.

Episode Title: The Role of Faith in Healing: Where is God in Your Suffering?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I share the night I was ready to end my life and how God stepped in and showed me a future I never saw coming. I mention the difference between simply going to church and truly having a relationship with Christ, and how that relationship became my lifeline when everything else felt hopeless.

Through scriptures like Isaiah 41:10 and Romans 8:35–39, I explore what it means to trust God in the darkest moments and how faith plays a vital role in healing from deep emotional and spiritual wounds.

If you're wondering where God is in the middle of your pain… if you feel forgotten, numb, or unsure of His presence — this episode is for you. And if you don't yet know Him personally, I want you to know.... He’s waiting for you.

In this episode, “The Power of Speaking Out,” we explore the incredible strength and healing that can come from sharing our stories. We reflect on the fears that hold us back, the vulnerability it takes to speak up, and the freedom we can find when we no longer let shame silence us. Together, we dive into the power of honesty, the importance of breaking cycles of silence, and how your story can inspire and uplift others.

Guided by Revelation 12:11—“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony”—we remember that every story told is a step toward freedom and healing, both for ourselves and for others.

Episode 1 – Breaking Shame & Releasing Secrets

In this deeply vulnerable first episode, I open up about why I’m finally sharing my story of sexual abuse—and why I believe it could be the key to someone else’s healing. I ask hard questions many of us carry in silence:
 What have I been too ashamed to say? What has secrecy cost me? What changed when I finally spoke the truth?

I share pieces of my own journey, including painful confessions about how abuse shaped my choices and identity, the weight of a courtroom loss, and the moment I almost gave up fighting for justice. I don’t tell it all—there’s too much for one episode—but I start peeling back the layers.

Through scriptures like John 3:16 and Psalm 34:17–18, I explore how God meets us in our darkest places. I talk about forgiveness, the danger of holding grudges, and the unexpected conversations this episode sparked with my own husband—especially about our daughter, and the reality of protecting the next generation.

If you’ve ever felt alone, dirty, or too broken to be healed, this episode is for you. It’s not easy to hear. It wasn’t easy to speak. But it’s time to break shame and release the secrets—because silence never saved anyone.

Promotional Audio.

And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 KJV

Hi, I’m Janelle Starkey.
Today, I speak from a place of truth, healing, and the power of breaking silence.

I am a survivor of sexual abuse.
 For years, I carried that pain in silence.

But I’ve learned—our stories are weapons against the darkness.
They shatter fear. They destroy shame.

On May 26th, I’m launching my podcast: Cries of Redemption.
This isn’t just about my story—
It’s a call to speak up.

To those silenced by your past:
 Let your voice be heard. Let your truth be known.

We are building a generation that walks boldly in truth—
 And refuses to be defined by scars.

In this space, we fight back.
 We uplift. We heal. Together.

Psalm 107 says:
 “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so…”
They cried to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them.

You’ve wandered alone…
 Hungry for freedom.
 Thirsty for salvation.
 You’ve cried out—
 And God was listening.
He is still listening.

The fact that you hear me now? That’s proof of your hope.

So I invite you:
 Follow the journey.
 Engage.
 Share your story.

Let’s build a space where every cry for redemption is met with love.

Until next time, please take care of yourself. Hold on a little longer, because this is not the end of your story. And you, my sister, my brother, are deeply and unconditionally loved.
