When Adam and Eve did the one thing God told them not to do, decay and brokenness were introduced into the perfection of His Creation. But that's not the end of the story.

Forcibly displaced from their homes, this year alone more than 59 million people will officially become refugees—half of whom are under age 18.

As Pastor Rob examines the massive tragedy of sexual abuse and exploitation taking place in our world today, he points to a biblical account of just such a sin, and reminds us of the staggering difference between disgrace and God's grace that offers the only path to hope and healing, both for the victim—and for the perpetrator—of sexual violence.
