From Sexual & Pregnancy Loss Trauma to Triumph
In a deeply moving episode of Kingdom Talks, we have the honour of hearing from the resilient May Alirad, as she shares her remarkable journey of faith, healing, and discovering her purpose in Christ. May’s childhood was marked by the turmoil of the Vietnam War, during which her family sought refuge in the United States. It was in this new land that she was first introduced to Christianity. However, her early experiences were marred by the trauma of sexual assault, leading her to question her faith and the presence of God in her life. Despite these challenges, May’s unwavering faith became the guiding force that propelled her forward, ultimately leading to a transformative vision in 2018. This vision brought her clarity and peace, allowing her to understand her past, find reconciliation with God, and embark on a journey of forgiveness, healing, and sharing her story with others. Through May’s inspiring testimony, listeners are encouraged to draw strength from their faith and embrace the transformative power of prayer in turning pain into purpose.
The episode focuses on the silent suffering experienced during miscarriage and pregnancy loss. May bravely shares her personal stories and spiritual encounters, exploring the painful emotions that come with such losses. These experiences not only questioned traditional religious beliefs but also strengthened her faith, leading to a closer connection with God. The episode advocates for acknowledging life from conception and gives a voice to those who bear the silent grief of pregnancy loss.
The episode also highlights the liberating power of prayer and faith. May’s experiences with sexual traumas and subsequent healing journeys reveal the potential for hope and healing through sharing one’s story and offering help to others who have faced similar challenges.
May’s encounters challenge the belief that God is responsible for the death of children. Instead, the importance of silent support from loved ones and the need to validate the grief of those who have suffered pregnancy loss is emphasized.
May’s story is about overcoming deep-seated trauma through faith, prayer and support systems. Through her ministry and the publication of her book, “Was I Assaulted? My Guide to Healing as a Survivor,” May offers encouragement to those feeling trapped in a cycle of pain. She instills hope that healing and wholeness are attainable.
In examining Jesus’ interactions with women, the episode emphasizes the equality of men and women in God’s eyes. It challenges traditional religious perspectives that restrict women’s roles in the church and life. May’s story is evidence of overcoming life’s challenges through faith, and finding purpose in pain. It sends a message of resilience and empowerment to women.
At the end of the episode, a heartfelt prayer for victory and peace is offered, encouraging women to tap into their faith in God and embrace their worth and identity as beloved and powerful children of God.
