There is so much is wrong with that title 

Sexual and assault should not go together, 

especially within the church 

I don’t see myself as a survivor. 

I don’t want to be a survivor 

And I’m not sure I did survive. 

 

What does it mean to survive a sexual assault? 

If you survive an attempted murder, you are still alive, 

You may well be injured, 

But by definition you are still alive. 

How does that work with attempted rape and sexual assault? 

We are all dead in Christ before we receive the new life he gives, 

So I prefer the term ‘redeemed’.
