The Wounds Of The Faithful

Have you been bullied? Then you must know how it feels to be alone, rejected, and friendless. My guest today is Pastor Al Descheneau, who shares the story of his upbringing in a transient Christian home. As always the new kid in school, he was subjected to frequent bullying and abusive treatment from his school mates. By the time he went to Christian college, he was an angry, antisocial kid who wanted nothing to do with people. Then one day, he had lifechanging break through in his spiritual life which spilled over very quickly into a vibrant social life. Pastor Al talks candidly about his conversations with God, serving the Lord and his calling into pastoral ministry. We have some fun talking about Christian culture, how media choices affects your mood, and cut through the churchy fluff false doctrine. Come hear part one of my my interview with Pastor Al.

My Last 20: Breaking The Curse To Embrace The Blessing

Hollywood and pop culture often give us the impression that men can't be raped or sexually abused. Our guest today, Dr. Kelli Palfy, is here to dispel that myth and to give us the facts gleaned from her vast experience working in correctional facilities, the RCMP, and from her own doctoral research on why males don't report sexual trauma. Dr. Kelli shares about the painful stories of the men that she has interviewed and treated in her practice for her book Men Too: Unspoken Truths About Male Sexual Abuse. We talk about how males experience sexual abuse for the first time during childhood by teachers, coaches, clergy, and immediate family members, and how the abuse continues into adulthood. There is hope and healing for men who have experienced the shame and pain of sexual abuse. She is also writing 3 children's books about sexual abuse you can read to your children. This is a very important episode filled with valuable information on how you can help the male in your life heal.

Men Too: Unspoken Truths About Male Sexual Abuse

https://kellipalfy.com/

 [email protected]

Dr. Kelli Palfy began her professional career working in adult and youth corrections. During that time, she noticed there were a disproportionate number of males in the system. In 1996, she became an RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer and took an interest in investigating sex crimes. She later went on to specialize in sex crimes committed against children internationally, completing all the training needed to become a subject matter expert for the Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) unit in British Columbia, Canada. Here, as she combed through video evidence, she witnessed first-hand the grooming tactics commonly used by sophisticated pedophiles. After retiring from the RCMP, Dr. Palfy obtained her PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She conducted her doctoral research on the reasons why males don't commonly disclose sexual abuse. She is now a trained trauma therapist and public speaker on the topic of male sexual abuse.  She wrote Men Too: Unspoken Truths About Male Sexual Abuse to equip, empower and transform abused boys and men to heal and become who they were born to be.

Dance is a form of expression with the body. Dance can be used for entertainment, exercise, artistic expression, and worship. We have a real treat for you on today's podcast. Our guest is dancer, writer and storyteller Laura Padgett. We had an enjoyable time reminiscing about favorite dance performances, the challenges of dealing with our aging bodies, and healing from trauma. Laura's delightful stories will keep you mesmerized as she tells us how she won a gold medal at The Highland Games! She also candidly shares her upbringing with an alcoholic parent, her struggle with her mother's death, and forgiveness. We end with the option of using dance as a tool for healing and as a form of worship with our bodies. There was lots of laughter, joy, and even a little sass! Even if you don't dance, you will love hearing Laura's stories, so don't miss it!

We continue our conversation with Pastor Jimmy Hinton this week, who had to turn his own father in to the police for pedophilia. Find out the sequence of events after Jimmy's father is arrested and placed in prison with a life sentence. Jimmy describes how pedophiles think and how they abuse and manipulate their victims even from prison. He defines the difference between grooming and testing. We find out why Jimmy calls sexual predators "wolves that will never become sheep". Jimmy talks very bluntly how we can protect our churches and children from predators, which does not include inviting convicted predators back into the church. We finish the conversation with the real requirements for forgiveness, according to Jesus. Do not miss part two of this interview!

The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Gregoire

Bio:

When my sister disclosed to me that our father, a former well-respected minister, had sexually abused her as a child, I made the difficult decision to report. I went into ministry because of the example of my father. He was loved, trusted, and adored by all of us. But he held a very dark secret. He had been sexually abusing young victims for decades. We had no idea. He is now serving a life sentence in prison for sex crimes against children, and this book describes the journey from childhood to the moment I discovered the abuse and reported. My life is now dedicated to researching deception and abuse techniques so I can equip people to see what we all missed. We can intervene and stop abuse before it happens. The Devil Inside will walk you along my journey of discovery, questioning God, and advocacy.
