Transcription - From Torment to Identity and Purpose

Welcome to the Fatherhood Challenge, a movement to awaken and inspire fathers everywhere,

to take great pride in their role, and a challenge society to understand how important

fathers are to the stability and culture of their family's environment.

Now here's your host, Jonathan Guerrero. Greetings everyone!

Thank you so much for joining me. We are continuing part two of my conversation with Rebecca

Wynn as she shares her testimony of how she found her identity in purpose. If you missed part one of

her story, you can go to thefatherhoodchallenge.com. That's thefatherhoodchallenge.com. And if you go to

the last episode, you'll see it label as part one, you can hear the first part of our testimony.

"Yeah, great." But she didn't have the reaction I expected. And I wish that I could say everything

after that just immediately got better, but it did not.

Somethings did. So I'd had, for those 13 years, as I mentioned at the very beginning,

I had been sexually and physically abused by a female relative almost immediately after I

became a Christian that the sexual abuse, the verbal abuse completely stopped. It was, for me,

a hugely eye-opening moment because I thought, "I understood for the first time that there's

something really wrong with me. And I need some kind of deliverance from this. I understood

the first time that these entities that were attacking me were demonic and that they had a purpose

when they were coming. But I had no idea how to deal with it. I didn't know what an event meant.
