Summary

A sacred night of confession, repentance, and healing, this eleventh installment of the Exile Series journeys into the deep waters of sexual brokenness and redemptive grace. Mike and Justina Erre vulnerably share their personal stories of addiction, trauma, and healing, inviting the Vox community into an experience of intimacy, honesty, and restoration. Anchored in the Psalms of David—Psalm 32 and Psalm 51—this gathering becomes more than a message; it’s a pathway to embrace God’s blessing, especially in the areas we’re most ashamed of.

With the symbol of the “hoopa”—a canopy representing God’s presence, love, and blessing—the community is invited to offer their wounds, mistakes, and desires for transformation. Whether struggling with addiction, past abuse, relationship wounds, or the heaviness of shame, listeners are called to the truth: the Gospel is for you.

Key Takeaways:
• Confession Brings Freedom – The power of secrecy gives sin its grip. Naming your sin is the first step in experiencing liberation and grace.
• Repentance is a Redirection – True repentance means turning away from darkness and walking down a radically new path.
• Stories of Grace – Mike shares his healing journey from sexual sin, and Justina courageously recounts her experience with rape, shame, and finding Christ's mercy.
• The Hoopa as a Symbol of Renewal – Participants step into a symbolic expression of God’s love, regardless of relationship status, brokenness, or past.
• Healing Takes Time and Community – While some healing comes instantly, most is shaped through consistent confession, boundaries, and safe relationships.
• The Gospel Is For the Broken – No one is too far gone; God’s grace meets us even in our worst moments and deepest secrets.

Guest Highlight:
Justina Erre – Wife of Mike Erre, Justina vulnerably shares her story of childhood trauma, sexual violence, and years of self-blame that ultimately led to a surrender to Jesus and the experience of spiritual and emotional healing. Her words offer validation and hope to countless women and men carrying unseen wounds.

Resources Mentioned:
• Psalm 32 and Psalm 51 – Prayers of confession and restoration by King David
• Healing Hearts Ministry – Support groups for women experiencing sexual betrayal and abuse
• Vox Prayer and Care Teams – Pastoral and lay presence available throughout the night
• James 5:16 – “Confess your sins to one another and pray... that you may be healed.”
