78 - 🎥 Interview with Scott Ralitz

Scott was born and raised in Central Wisconsin. Last year he and his wife, Dorothy, celebrated 40 years of marriage. While they lived 12 years as missionaries overseas, they now have moved back home to be near extended family. It's been only since 2020 that he started to dig deeper into his past trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, that had buried. Much of it was forgotten and some was just pushed aside with the “help” of spiritual bypass.If you want to see the VIDEO 🎥 version of this podcast, you can watch from either Spotify or Youtube.Suicide is talked about in this episode.
