S2 E13 I Restoring What Was Stolen: Reclaiming Your Childhood After Abuse

Co-Hosts Angela Williams & Crysta Marshall

In this deeply moving episode of Voice Up For The Voiceless, co-hosts Angela Williams and Crysta Marshall guide survivors of child sexual abuse through a sacred journey of reclaiming what trauma tried to steal—your childhood, your innocence, your joy, your playful spirit, and your sense of wonder.

This episode is a tender call to healing and restoration. Whether you grew up too fast, lived in fear, or felt robbed of the carefree joy that every child deserves, we’re here to tell you: it’s not too late. With God, all things are possible—even joy after devastation.

Through honest conversation, scripture, and practical tools, Angela and Crysta share how to begin recovering the light within that never truly went out.

💡 Healing Action Steps:
Inner Child Connection

Set aside time to reconnect with your inner child. Write a letter to them. Ask: What did you love? What did you miss? What do you need today?

Joy Practice

Reintroduce small moments of play—blow bubbles, color, dance, swing, sing. Joy is healing. You deserve lightness.

Innocence Isn’t Lost—It’s Restored

Meditate on 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation…” You are not damaged—you are being made whole.

Grieve What Was Taken

Honor your pain. Cry. Mourn. Then rise. Your grief is valid, but it’s not your end.

Declare Restoration

Speak this truth aloud: “I am reclaiming my childhood joy. What was taken from me will be restored in ways I couldn’t imagine.”

🙏 Spiritual Encouragement:
“I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten.” — Joel 2:25

You may not get back those moments exactly as they were, but God can give you new ones that are just as beautiful—and sometimes even sweeter because they are drenched in redemption.
