Abuse, Identity, and the Long Road to Wholeness: Jacqueline’s Story

Jacqueline Widdis grew up carrying the deep wounds of childhood sexual abuse — and like so many survivors, it shaped her view of herself, her worth, and her voice. But God had more in mind for her story.In this episode, Jacqueline opens up about her long journey of healing through therapy, Celebrate Recovery, and the gentle, persistent love of God. She shares how she re-entered the workforce after nearly two decades at home, and how that leap of faith is now helping her mentor others in job searches, prayer, and professional confidence. This is a story of redemption in layers — and it’s far from over.
