Can someone survive extreme trauma, ritual abuse, and generational Satanism—and not only find freedom, but dedicate their life to helping others heal?
In one of the most powerful conversations on the Strong Tower Mental Health Podcast, Heidi sits down with Adele Vrey from South Africa to hear her remarkable testimony of redemption. Adele shares her journey out of generational Satanism, the devastating effects of ritual trauma and dissociation, and the years-long healing process that included counseling, deliverance, inner healing, prayer, and God's miraculous restoration.
Together, Heidi and Adele tackle one of the most important conversations facing the Church today: How do we wisely discern the difference between trauma, mental illness, and spiritual oppression? They discuss why the Church needs both biblical discernment and trauma-informed care—and why no single tool is enough.
In this episode you'll discover:
- How severe trauma can impact the brain, body, and spirit.
- Why healing often requires counseling, deliverance, prayer, and community—not just one approach.
- How to discern between psychological, physical, and spiritual causes of suffering.
- Why trauma-informed ministry is essential for today's Church.
- The incredible hope that Jesus brings, no matter how dark your past has been.
"He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners." — Isaiah 61:1
