Ep. 142: Breaking the Cycle of Abuse: A Story of Healing and Hope with Ruth Valor
Description
What does it take to break free from a lifetime of pain and abuse? Ruth Valor’s story is a powerful Christian testimony of how God can heal even the deepest wounds.
From the time she was just three years old, Ruth endured sexual abuse, physical abuse, and emotional neglect. Her father battled alcoholism and carried his own scars from an abusive childhood, leaving Ruth desperate for love and acceptance. That search often led her into destructive relationships—what she now calls having a “broken picker.”
But God had a greater plan for Ruth. At her lowest point, she encountered Jesus and began a journey of healing from abuse and breaking the cycle that had defined her life for so long. Today, Ruth leads Journey of Hope, a ministry dedicated to helping both survivors of abuse and those who have caused harm find freedom in Christ.
In this powerful conversation, you’ll discover:
✨ How generational trauma and “daddy issues” affect our choices
✨ Why abuse survivors often repeat destructive patterns—and how to break free
✨ The moment Ruth found hope and began her healing journey with Jesus
✨ How faith in Christ brings lasting freedom from abuse and brokenness
If you’ve experienced abuse or know someone who has, this episode offers encouragement and practical hope. Ruth’s story is proof that no matter how broken the past, Jesus can restore, redeem, and lead us into the abundant life He promises.
