The most powerful thing supporters of victims of sexual assault can do is listen and believe the person who’s talking to them, says Pastor Justin Holcomb in this clip. Do not underestimate the power of listening to someone’s painful story, and then assuring them that you’re there to support them and walk with them for the long haul.

Also in this clip, filmed last year just after the book’s release, Pastor Justin explains the title for Rid of My Disgrace , which he wrote with his wife, Lindsey. The book is written to victims of assault, but it’s also for those who are supporting someone who’s been through an assault.
