Ep19 of Mental Health Matters for ChristiansFor decades, Richard Holloman lived a double life. Outwardly he was a respected pastor, husband, and ministry leader. Privately, he carried the crushing weight of childhood sexual abuse, shame, sexual addiction, and unwanted same-sex attraction that no one knew about.
When his secret was finally exposed, Richard lost everything—his ministry, his reputation, and nearly his life. But what seemed like the end of his story became the beginning of healing, freedom, and a ministry helping others find hope.
In this powerful conversation, Richard shares how childhood trauma shaped his life, why shame kept him trapped for decades, the moment everything came crashing down, and how God's grace met him in his darkest hour.
Whether you've experienced trauma, struggle with shame, love someone wrestling with sexual brokenness, or simply need hope that God can redeem even the darkest chapters of life, this conversation offers compassion, honesty, and encouragement.Topics Include:
