Cries Of Redemption

Send us Fan Mail"Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately! In this raw and unedited update (recorded straight from my phone), I’m sharing why I’ve been away from the mic and what I’m currently juggling.From navigating unexpected health challenges and new medications to custom-making my niece’s prom dress (for her 12th grade prom, which is the only prom she is attending), it’s been a season of testing—but remember, delay is not denial. I’m also sharing a bit about the importance of work flexibility and a funny (but stressful) couch repair.Thank you for your patience and your prayers while I get back on my feet. I can’t wait to get back to our regular episodes soon!"Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe conversation around women’s rights is everywhere—but what does God say?In this episode, we address the history of woman, abortion, how sin carries different consequences, and why all sin still separates us from God.  I again talk about why calling something sin can be so offensive to many people today. I also share part of my personal journey and how fear once shaped my decisions. No matter the sin, the truth remains: we all fall short—and Jesus still offers forgiveness.This episode builds on the question from the previous episodes: Are you going in the right direction? & The Most Offensive Word Today: Sin. Because sometimes the most loving warning we can receive is the one we least want to hear.🎧 Want to reach out?

Send us Fan MailWhy does the word sin offend people so deeply?In this episode of Cries of Redemption, I talk about why sin must be addressed and why so many people react with anger the moment it’s mentioned. Scripture warns about the danger of a hardened heart, and in Ezekiel we see God’s promise to replace hearts of stone with hearts of flesh.If sin is meant to show us when we’re going in the wrong direction, why do we resist hearing about it?This episode builds on the question from the previous episode: Are you going in the right direction?

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode, we sit down with Dylan Verdun Sullivan, author of Kiss by Death, for an honest conversation about survival, faith, and the life-changing power of God’s grace.Born with club feet that required multiple surgeries to realign and carrying deep wounds of abandonment, Dylan’s life was marked by pain from an early age. At 18, after contracting a deadly disease and falling into a coma, he had a life-altering encounter with Jesus that changed everything.Dylan shares his ongoing journey of healing—wrestling with self-worth, the father wound, addiction, and learning to rest in grace rather than striving. This is not a polished testimony, but a real story of redemption, hope, and discovering that God’s grace is sufficient, even at our lowest.If you’ve ever felt broken, unseen, or “not enough,” this episode is for you.There is so much more that did not make it onto this episode!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I remind you that this season is about breaking the silence—but not for the world. It starts with you. You don’t have to share your story publicly or say a word to anyone else. The first and most important step is being honest with yourself.I talk about the healing that comes from confronting parts of your past you may not want to remember, and why facing those truths—no matter how uncomfortable—is where freedom begins. I choose to do the hard part by exposing my own ugly truths, not for shock, but to let you know you are not alone.My hope is to encourage and uplift you, but I’m honest about this: nothing I say can bring healing unless you take that first step within yourself. If one day you feel called to share your story—amen. And if you never do, but you faced yourself with courage—amen.Silence ends with me… and it can end with you too.🎧 Want to reach out?

Send us Fan MailIn this heartfelt Thanksgiving episode, I reflect on the Jewish Passover tradition of Dayeinu—a powerful practice of gratitude that declares, “It would have been enough.” Inspired by this tradition, I created my own personal Dayeinu, remembering all the moments God has brought me through and the countless ways He’s carried me.I invite you to join me in this reflection.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Cries of Redemption, I open up about the battle between faith and fear—how even after experiencing God’s deliverance, it’s easy to let fear creep back in.  I share how the Lord reminded me that my strength and security don’t come from the world, but from Him alone. For some things, he's the only one you can turn to.I talk about the fear I once carried for my daughter’s safety, and how God revealed that He—not the wicked—has the final word. For anyone who’s felt set free only to fall back into fear, this episode is a reminder: deliverance is not a one-time event. The same God who freed you before can do it again.🎧 Want to reach out?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, “The Power of Speaking Out,” we explore the incredible strength and healing that can come from sharing our stories. We reflect on the fears that hold us back, the vulnerability it takes to speak up, and the freedom we can find when we no longer let shame silence us. Together, we dive into the power of honesty, the importance of breaking cycles of silence, and how your story can inspire and uplift others.Guided by Revelation 12:11—“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony”—we remember that every story told is a step toward freedom and healing, both for ourselves and for others.🎧 Want to reach out?

Send us Fan MailEpisode 1 – Breaking Shame & Releasing SecretsIn this deeply vulnerable first episode, I open up about why I’m finally sharing my story of sexual abuse—and why I believe it could be the key to someone else’s healing. I ask hard questions many of us carry in silence: What have I been too ashamed to say? What has secrecy cost me? What changed when I finally spoke the truth?I share pieces of my own journey, including painful confessions about how abuse shaped my choices and identity, the weight of a courtroom loss, and the moment I almost gave up fighting for justice. I don’t tell it all—there’s too much for one episode—but I start peeling back the layers.Through scriptures like John 3:16 and Psalm 34:17–18, I explore how God meets us in our darkest places. I talk about forgiveness, the danger of holding grudges, and the unexpected conversations this episode sparked with my own husband—especially about our daughter, and the reality of protecting the next generation.If you’ve ever felt alone, dirty, or too broken to be healed, this episode is for you. It’s not easy to hear. It wasn’t easy to speak. But it’s time to break shame and release the secrets—because silence never saved anyone.🎧 Want to reach out?

Send us Fan MailPromotional Audio.And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.Habakkuk 2:2-3 KJVHi, I’m Janelle Starkey. Today, I speak from a place of truth, healing, and the power of breaking silence.I am a survivor of sexual abuse. For years, I carried that pain in silence.But I’ve learned—our stories are weapons against the darkness. They shatter fear. They destroy shame.On May 26th, I’m launching my podcast: Cries of Redemption. This isn’t just about my story— It’s a call to speak up.To those silenced by your past: Let your voice be heard. Let your truth be known.We are building a generation that walks boldly in truth— And refuses to be defined by scars.In this space, we fight back. We uplift. We heal. Together.Psalm 107 says: “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so…” They cried to the Lord in their trouble, And He delivered them.You’ve wandered alone… Hungry for freedom. Thirsty for salvation. You’ve cried out— And God was listening. He is still listening.The fact that you hear me now? That’s proof of your hope.So I invite you: Follow the journey. Engage. Share your story.Let’s build a space where every cry for redemption is met with love.Until next time, please take care of yourself. Hold on a little longer, because this is not the end of your story. And you, my sister, my brother, are deeply and unconditionally loved.Support the show
