Episode 146 - Carissa Gaughan

SURVIVING ABUSE SERIES PART FOUR   Like many parts of our lives, our beliefs about God are often formed at a young age. When we go through painful experiences before even reaching adulthood, it can shape the way we view God and others in ways we don’t even realize. This was Carissa Gaughan’s story. As a teenager, Carissa was sexually abused by multiple men, and the scars from that trauma caused her to lose trust in God and in other people. Devoid of the faith that characterized her earlier childhood, Carissa found herself continuing to make poor choices again and again, until finally everything changed. To finish our Surviving Abuse Series, Carissa sits down with Davey to share what she’s learned from her story and how she’s working to share that with others to keep them from making the same mistakes she did.   Episode Resources: Check out Carissa’s website Follow Carissa on Facebook and Instagram Purchase Allies in Healing or Sheet Music Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE We’d love your feedback!
