Today Elishaba Doerksen shares her dramatic story of survival, courage and bravery, as well as God’s forgiveness, after years of horrific abuse from her father. NOTE: Because Elishaba shares openly about her traumatic experiences, this conversation contains graphic and potentially triggering content that may not be appropriate for all audiences. In addition, the end of this episode contains resources to find forgiveness and healing if you too have been a victim of abuse.
