I Planned Revenge Against My Abuser... Then Jesus Taught Me Forgiveness | Vighnesh's Testimony

What happens when the pain of childhood abuse grows into a desire for revenge?In this deeply honest conversation, my friend Vighnesh shares his remarkable testimony of surviving childhood sexual abuse, battling pornography addiction, wrestling with suicidal thoughts, and spending years searching for healing through meditation, various spiritual belief systems, psychedelics, trauma therapy, and conscious sexuality.At one point, he had a detailed, violent plan to take revenge against the man who abused him.But everything changed when he encountered Jesus Christ.Instead of finding freedom through another healing modality, he discovered something he never expected: forgiveness, peace, and a relationship with the Heavenly Father that transformed his heart from the inside out.This conversation explores what it means to be truly healed—not by pretending the past didn't happen, but by allowing Christ to meet us in our deepest wounds.Whether you're wrestling with trauma, addiction, resentment, questions about faith, or simply wondering whether lasting healing is possible, I pray this episode offers hope.In this episode, we discuss:• Childhood sexual abuse and its lasting impact • Repressed memories and the search for healing • Pornography addiction and compulsive behaviors • Suicidal thoughts and fantasies of revenge • Meditation, religion, psychedelics, and spiritual searching • How Vighnesh encountered Jesus Christ • Forgiveness after profound betrayal • Spiritual warfare, prayer, and deliverance • Freedom from resentment and anxiety • Healing childhood trauma through faith • Following Jesus after New Age spirituality • Finding peace, purpose, and a new identity in ChristMy hope is that When Heaven Calls would become a place where honest conversations point us toward truth, healing, and the hope we have in Jesus.If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone who may need this conversation today.
