In this powerful episode of Faith Walk Life Talk, host Elder Empress explores the heartbreaking and often overlooked story of Tamar from 2 Samuel 13—a woman betrayed, violated, and silenced within her own family. Tamar’s cry echoes the pain of so many who have endured abuse and been left to pick up the pieces in silence.

Joining the conversation is special guest Melissa Brooks, who courageously shares her deeply personal journey of healing after surviving childhood abuse and molestation. Through faith, perseverance, and intentional recovery, Melissa found her voice, reclaimed her identity, and now walks in purpose.

Together, we reflect on Tamar’s experience, connect it to real-life stories of survival, and highlight how God’s presence meets us in the most broken places. This episode is a testament to the strength of women, the importance of speaking truth, and the hope that healing is possible, even after experiencing profound trauma.
