Hey y'all, welcome back to the Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast.

A place where you and all of your crap are not just welcome, you're wanted.

I'm your host Blake G. Shay, and every week I'm showing up with a new friend to talk about

the things we're really great at, the ways Christ fills in the gaps on the things that

we're not, and how he has been faithful to make his power perfect in our weaknesses.

My hope is that you walk away feeling empowered and not alone in your struggles, and that

people sharing their stories pushes you to share yours.

Alright, let's do this.

Today's guest is Mary Demuth.

Mary is an author, speaker, and podcaster who is passionate about helping you live a

re-story life.

Mary is a survivor of sexual assault and has spent her life healing from trauma so that

she can help others not feel so alone.

Our conversation is so full of truth and gentle direction and just some real life ways

to walk alongside survivors of sexual abuse and assault.

Mary, hey, thank you so much for coming on today.

So great to be here.

Thanks for having me.

Okay, so we're doing another heavy topic today, but it's so necessary and I'm so thankful

that we have people who are speaking up and having this conversation.

You are a survivor of sexual assault, and you share your story in your book We Too.

Tell us just to kind of get us started.
