“All forms of abuse wound the spirit.”
June Hunt, founder of Hope for the Heart, joins Rachael Flick for a difficult yet deeply heartfelt conversation about verbal and emotional abuse. In this interview, June defines what these often-overlooked forms of abuse look like and shares personal stories from her own childhood, illustrating how profoundly a parent’s words and actions can shape a child’s life. She also speaks about her journey to discovering God’s love, and how those who have experienced abuse can find true healing in Him. June emphasizes the power of forgiveness — even for those who have hurt us — and the importance of praying for those who persecute us.
