Faith Hakesley offers healing!
In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we listen to a dear associate of the Ruth Institute, Faith Hakesley.
Faith Hakesley offers healing for victims of sexual abuse with her powerful book “Glimmers of Grace: Moments of Peace and Healing Following Sexual Abuse”
Faith, a survivor of sexual abuse, speaks on Ladies of Another View on BEK TV.
Faith shares her tragic story of dealing with being sexually abused at the hands of a newly ordained priest. She relates the pain and suffering she experienced and the effects it had on her relationships with family and friends. Faith also describes how the tragic early death of her brother led to her finally telling her parents the truth.
Perhaps the most important part of this interview is the advice Faith offers to those who have been abused and to those who are helping abuse victims.

The Sexual Revolution has been going on for our entire lives and it has left a trail of destruction. There is hardly an institution in our modern society that has been left untouched: education, therapy, medicine, big tech, the pharmaceutical professions and even the church. You might feel hopeless and confused by the contradictory messages and damaging effects. Don’t worry. The Ruth Institute provides decades of research and sound thinking to help you navigate our world and help heal your family. Join us as we work to build a civilization of love!
In this conversation, Dr. Amy Hamilton shares her struggle with same-sex attraction, her conversion to Christianity, and her eventual embrace of Catholicism. Dr. Hamilton emphasizes the importance of truth in addressing contemporary issues surrounding sexuality and the need for compassion without compromising on Christian teachings. She also highlights the role of counseling in her transformation and offers advice for loved ones of those struggling with similar issues.
Amy Hamilton has been a social worker, a Fulbright scholar to Indonesia, a Sexuality Research Fellow, and an Assistant Professor. She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004. Her dissertation focused on the life narratives of Christians who had experienced conflicts between their spiritual and sexual identity. She is currently in her fifth year working as a research associate at the University of Texas at Austin. Amy writes on topics related to marriage, faith, gender, and sexuality.
Amy has also given hope to many through sharing her story of personal transformation in Christ. Formerly lesbian-identified, Amy’s own journey with same-sex attraction and identity confusion, combined with her academic knowledge, gives her a voice of unique authority amidst the contentious cultural conversations of the day.
