A Grateful Heart in Hard Seasons: Finding Thanksgiving in the Midst of Healing
Voice Up for the Voiceless Podcast
Hosts: Angela Williams & Crysta Marshall

The holidays can be a tender time for survivors of childhood trauma. Thanksgiving often brings a mix of emotions — gratitude, grief, memories of dysfunction, and sometimes deep loneliness. In this healing conversation, Angela and Crysta help you reclaim Thanksgiving by choosing gratitude not as denial of pain, but as a pathway to peace.

In this 30-minute episode, you’ll learn:
 • Why gratitude is a powerful spiritual tool in trauma recovery
 • How to set boundaries with confidence and protect your peace
 • Ways to navigate family stress, triggers, or holiday anxiety
 • Practical self-care strategies rooted in scripture
 • A simple Gratitude Challenge to anchor your heart all week
 • Encouraging verses to shift your focus from pain to God’s presence

Through biblical truth, honest reflection, and gentle encouragement, you’ll be reminded that gratitude is not about pretending life is perfect — it’s about seeing God’s goodness in every step of your healing.

If this Thanksgiving feels heavy, you are not alone. God is with you, strengthening you, guiding you, and surrounding you with His peace.

Scriptures referenced:
1 Thessalonians 5:18 • Philippians 4:6–7 • Psalm 100:4 • Psalm 103:2 • Luke 5:16 • Deuteronomy 31:8 • Colossians 3:15

In this unforgettable true story, Pastor Les Ferguson opens up about the darkest chapter of his life—the day a trusted church member, who had s*xually abused his disabled son, took the lives of both his wife and child. What followed was a season of unbearable grief, anger, and shattered faith.

But Les’s story doesn’t end in tragedy. Through raw honesty and a relentless pursuit of truth, he shares how he wrestled with God, confronted the hardest questions of faith, and discovered that even in unimaginable loss, God’s love never let go.

A story of heartbreak, doubt, and ultimate redemption—this is proof that faith can survive even the fire.

In this episode Dr. Sam Serio joins us from California and will be talking on the following: “Today's church has sadly failed to minister to men and women deeply affected by porn, abortion, rape, casual sex, a sexless marriage, same-sex attraction, or childhood sexual abuse. Church leaders know these broken people sit in their pews. What they don't know is what to say to them. Those who would speak out directly from the pulpit worry that they will be unwise or insensitive, whatever their intent to the contrary. They may even fear being fired and losing their ministry altogether.

https://www.voiceupforyou.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profil...The truth is that seminary curriculums rarely prepare preachers to talk about sex in their sermons. Despite the pervasiveness of sexual wounds in the church, preachers tend to either ignore them and say nothing or abhor them without nuance and condemn. Sam Serio posits a powerful and necessary middle ground: preaching that offers forgiveness, transformation, and restoration.

Sensitive Preaching to the Sexually Hurting is a ready-to-use resource written from a preaching perspective. Serio examines the causes and consequences of the seven most difficult sexual issues of today. Moreover, he provides appropriate wording to use in crafting sermons, along with corresponding Scripture texts. He examines how preachers can prepare their churches, their hearts, and their sermons for the topic, and how these can all work together to build a healthier future for their congregations and the wider church body.” By Dr. Sam Serio
