Welcome back to Healing In Christ’s Light with Jeni Brockbank—daughter of God, mother of six, certified victim advocate, and survivor of relational abuse.

In this long-awaited episode, Let My People Go, Jeni shares her deeply personal story of surviving post-separation abuse, homelessness, and the miracles that came through faith, community, and God’s hand. She reflects on her own cry for freedom—“Let me go”—and connects it to God’s timeless command to Pharaoh: “Let My People Go.”

Through this powerful parallel, Jeni explores how God delivers His children from oppression, fear, and coercive control—not only in ancient Egypt but in the lives of survivors today. With tenderness and conviction, she reminds listeners that God still fights for His people, still parts seas, and still makes a way where none seems possible.

If you’ve ever felt trapped, unseen, or silenced, this episode is a reminder that God hears your cries. Deliverance may not come all at once, but He walks beside you every step of the way—leading you from bondage into peace, safety, and light.

✨ Join a trauma-sensitive 12-Step meeting (free to attend) at ts12anon.org/find-a-meeting.

Katy Willis and Jeni Brockbank discuss the concept of a "Window of Tolerance," incorporating the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Katy shares her wealth of knowledge about the different parts of the brain that are involved when we get outside of our Window of Tolerance. There is discussion about Captain Moroni being hangry, the Savior drawing in the sand instead of reacting and examples with Nephi as well.

Just like temples, our bodies need to be maintained so that we can stay within our window of tolerance.

Thanks for healing with us in the Light of the Savior.

Jeni and Katy discuss the difference between “victimhood” and being “victimized” as targets of abuse, adultery, abandonment, and addiction. Jeni shares three principles to move victims towards righteous empowerment and how Jesus Christ can help us be victorious throughout the process.
