About Linda
I am a child of God, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, an overcomer, a pastor, a speaker, a dog lover, and a friend.
In my life I have also:
struggled with addictions; both alcohol and drugs
been in unhealthy relationships
been a master manipulator at times
taken advantage of people
been a people pleaser
wrestled with my identity in this world.
What I have learned throughout my healing process is that these are long lasting effects of childhood sexual abuse. I believe the only way to move past them and become who God has created you to be, is by trusting that Jesus truly is the Light of the world and when you step into the Light, you cannot remain in the darkness any longer.
After being in ministry for 40 years, I believe God is calling me to a new type of ministry where I can walk alongside fellow survivors of childhood sexual abuse, teaching, training, and guiding them to the victorious side with Jesus.
