Seth Whorton joins Jennifer Weiss on the Grace Grit Glory Show to share his powerful testimony of healing and redemption. As a worship leader and minister in Texas, Seth opens up about being groomed and sexually abused by his youth pastor as a young teenager — and how that hidden wound quietly shaped his faith, his marriage, and his identity for decades.

In this vulnerable and important conversation, Seth and Jennifer discuss:

• Growing up in the church and finding his calling in worship
• How predators operate within ministry settings
• The long-lasting effects of unaddressed childhood trauma
• Why churches often cover up abuse — and what they should do instead
• The difference between forgiveness and justice
• How counseling and his wife Joy became instruments of God’s grace
• What he would say to others who have experienced abuse in the church

This is a raw, honest, and deeply hopeful episode about what it means to walk through the valley — and emerge with peace on the other side.

If this is your story, you are not alone. It was not your fault.
