Hey what is that song that starts playing at 5 seconds? Sounds awesome.

@Dude419 Precious Things

As a man, I cannot listen to that song. It brings shame upon my gender. Or rather, those men do. My girlfriend suffered at the hands of one of them a couple of months ago.

But does it mean that we should all feel shame for the actions of a handful of us? I hope not.

Thank you Tori

For helping me heal and for giving me hope

tori is very brave for speaking about her trauma in this way and leading other rape survivors to help. but if there's one thing we can all agree on is that Jesus suffered a far worse violation than any of us. and He rose from the grave to save others. i hope that these survivors develop a relationship with their savior to be freed from this kind of strong hold that the devil sends rapists to enslave victims with. tori's music can do a lot. but Jesus does it all if you call Him into your life.
