On this episode, Katie Hays shares her story of growing up around cultural Christianity, walking through anxiety and depression, and experiencing a sexual assault by someone she trusted. We talk honestly about the aftermath of false guilt, complicated community responses, reporting, and the slow grind of the court process, along with the turning point that led her to place her faith and hope in Jesus.

While this episode covers topics often avoided, the focus is on moving out of shame and reclaiming the victory we have in Christ. We explore how Scripture reframes identity, justice, and courage in the midst of suffering.
