012: The Redeeming Power of God Saves a Broken Kid with Peter Cropsey

November 29, 2022 • Dr. Fred DiDomenico • Episode 12

“We're all on death row without the saving grace of God and His Son, Jesus Christ.-Peter Cropsey

Abuse breaks a kid in ways that are hard to undo. It distorts his view of himself and the world, and it can make him feel like he's worth less than everyone else. They may grow up thinking that they'll never be able to do anything right or feel good enough on their own.

Peter Cropsey was led by people he trusted into doors that no child should ever have to see. Rather than enjoying a fun play at the park, he was introduced to a nudist camp. Rather than eating a piece of candy, he was given drugs. Rather than drinking milk before bed, he had his first taste of alcohol. Rather than going to school, he was making deals with addicts and criminals. And the saddest part was when he finally realized how broken he was. But his life is not unrepairable.

In this episode, Peter leads us back into his childhood and the dark truths he and others like him had to go through at a very young age. He shares how he has overcome a lack of self-worth, abuse, violence, broken relationships, and loss. Fred and Peter also talked about finding grace and love in God, cultivating faith, the benefits of treating people with kindness and dignity, and rebuilding a broken self-image after the pain and trauma.
