There was a bridal shower held at the Lincoln County Child Advocacy Center on Friday. While on the surface this shower may have seemed like a regular run-of-the-mill affair, it was far from that. This shower was held to honor a young woman whom after suffering indecencies at the hands of a trusted family friend was able to trust a man enough to marry him.
Grace, not her real name, found herself at the door of the child advocacy center when she was 14. Her abuser was a trusted member of the family â someone who came over to her house for dinners and birthday parties.

Influential Christian leaders including Jackie Hill Perry and Levi Lusko recently discussed the goodness of God in a fractured world, the reality of spiritual transformation, and how demonic forces continually call into question the character of God.
During a Passion 2021 Conference session hosted by Shelley Giglio, Perry, an author and hip-hop artist, revealed that the more she reads about God, the more she realizes that He is “good. While circumstances are tangible and loud, God is invisible, and thus, it takes faith to understand He is good when things are bad.

Levi Lusko sat on his couch in utter shock, his three young daughters tucked in around him. He held them close as they took in the news coverage of the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. It was December 14, 2012.
A gunman, for no apparent reason, walked into Sandy Hook, found two classrooms close to the entrance of the building and began shooting children and teachers. First responders arrived at the school within minutes, but it was too late for those classrooms. The man murdered 20 kindergarten and first-grade students. The heartbreak reverberated well beyond the Newtown community.
