Guilt, Shame, and Healing: How the Gospel Transforms Abuse Survivors

Bishop Justin Holcomb and wife Lindsay Holcomb share their experiences working with abuse victims and discuss how the gospel brings healing and transformation. They explore the impact of guilt from sins committed, shame from sins done against us, and how the work of Christ offers hope. Learn how the church can better support both victims and abusers, offering biblical guidance, practical help, and deep compassion. Together, they’ve written several books on abuse and protecting children, aiming to equip pastors, parents, and believers with tools to navigate these difficult topics faithfully.
