For any woman who has been sexually assaulted, the story of Tamar serves as God's way of saying; "I see you. I see what happened. I weep with you. You are not alone. This sin will be paid for." In chapter 13 of 2nd Samuel we find a brief story of Tamar, the daughter of King David. She suffered rape by her half brother Amnon -- and no one came to her defense. Not even her father, the king of Israel. In this episode we look at the centuries old shame of rape and the fallout that comes with this particularly violent sin against women. Our prayer is that this episode will speak healing to victims of rape and sexual assault. We believe this story was left in the Word of God to expose this sin and it's horror. We list the following resources for anyone who needs comfort, support and assistance in moving on after sexual assault.
