Ep. 338 - Forced Into Prostitution at Eleven, BJ Garret Left Sex Industry and Chose Jesus
BJ Garrett was just 11-years-old when her mother started prostituting her to help pay the bills. Sadly, this horrific abuse had started many years earlier with her father. What ensued was a childhood filled with sexual abuse, unplanned pregnancies, two abortions, and almost a decade of working in the sex industry as a stripper and prostitute. Thankfully, BJ found the redeeming love of Jesus Christ after being invited to church by a Christian couple she worked for. Today, BJ is a speaker, author, and on fire for the Lord, while sharing her testimony to many hurting people. She talks about surviving her childhood and the difficulties of toughing it out through the troubled times of single motherhood. She also identifies some red flags to look for when it comes to identifying sexual abuse in the home.
