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.
You will want to listen to hear the full details.

In this conversation, Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morris and Richard Doerflinger discuss the Catholic Church’s teachings on sexual morality, particularly in the context of contraception and family planning. They explore the cultural shifts towards subjectivism in moral reasoning, the role of the Pontifical Academy for Life, and share personal experiences that highlight the challenges and implications of these teachings. The discussion emphasizes the need for a return to moral absolutes and the importance of rebuilding a marriage culture to address issues like abortion. This conversation explores the profound social and moral implications of contraception and abortion, emphasizing the unintended consequences of these practices on individuals and society. The speakers discuss how the contraceptive ideology has led to increased out-of-wedlock childbearing, emotional distress among women, and a shift in moral norms that undermine the sanctity of life. They argue for the importance of moral absolutes and the need to recognize the lived experiences of those affected by these issues, advocating for a return to a culture that respects human dignity and the value of life.
