Identity is a powerful thing. Knowing your true identity is even more power-filled and freeing. Too often we define ourselves by what we do rather than who we are.

On this show we talk about shedding the victim identity that often comes from the shame of sexual abuse and trauma. Healing is possible and attainable.

Our Guests:
Mary Ellen Mann: In From Pain to Power: Overcoming Sexual Trauma and Reclaiming Your True Identity Mary Ellen combines clinical expertise with profound Biblical truths. Her own personal experiences of having suffered through sexual violation, lends even more credibility and value to her fearless voice.

Mary Ellen is an outspoken opponent to the victim status many women bear in silence and shame. She seeks to not just encourage women, but to also equip them with the spiritual weapons they need to thrive as "Princess Warriors."

Vanessa Pugh:  Vanessa is the Assistant Director of Spouse and Family Support for Stadia and leads in the ministry of Bloom. She has presented at several Exponential workshops, various women's events and is on the preaching team at Velocity.

Vanessa and her husband Scott planted Velocity Church in Cleveland, OH in 2009.
