AbbaDaddy House Girls Speak Out

By: Annette Smith and Myrna Thatcher
  • Summary

  • We give a voice to the voiceless, to those who can't or won't speak out for themselves. We speak up for the rights of all those who are poor and needy. These include people who are and have been sexually abused, who are and have been physically abused, who are suffering with addictions, who are in unhealthy relationships, who are bullied and are the bullies, who are suffering from mental illness, who are deemed by society as unloveable and who feel hopeless. Our social services are overworked and understaffed, so when people are being abused or are in difficult life situations, many times they feel they are not heard. Our program provides a platform for their voices, suggestions for the situations and hope for tomorrow. Often times a person just needs someone to listen. With the right understanding and by opening up to someone who has similar life experiences, one can see there is hope. Life doesn't have to end. You can embrace and trust someone one small step at a time.

  • You Never Say, Goodbye to Friends. It is Just So Long.
    Jan 10 2020
    Even the word “goodbye” has “good” in it. October 5, 2018 was our first “AbbaDaddy House Girls Speak Out” episode and January 10, 2020 will be our last. It was good for us to step out in faith in 2018 and to walk in faith each renewal contract period. We simply walked forward and watched God at work. But then, all good things must come to an end and it is now time. We shared our happiness and shared our sorrow. We’ve shared our hearts and it hurts to part. We don’t know you by your names. Yet, we know you. We love you and are blessed that you allowed us to be a part of your life one 60-minute segment at a time. Listeners, we are eternally grateful and thankful for each and everyone of you. Please join us one more time for a final 60 minutes.

William, a former deputy sheriff, was sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. Prosecutor offers were presented. William declined each one. Why? At the age of 19,Joseph began serving a 30-year sentence for committing second degree murder with the possibility of parole after 10 years. He has served eight. Joseph was living in a mental state of condemnation for what he had done, and the guilt was overwhelming. Yet, Joseph didn’t want the ordinary prison life of gangs, drugs and violence so he sought something different. He found it in solitary confinement.

  • Invitation to a Royal Birthday Party, A King is Born
    Dec 20 2019
    Tis the season- Christmas. Last minute shopping. Time with family and friends. Delectable food. Thoughtful gift giving. Charming Children Programs. Festive lights. Gala parades. The celebration of Christmas is worldwide. However, we’re celebrating early by throwing a birthday party for Jesus. How many candles would you put on His birthday cake? At the party we’ll discuss topics such as: (1) Is December 25th really Jesus’ birthday? (2) Doesn’t Christmas traditions originate from paganism? If so, should a Christian celebrate Christmas? (3) Does the Bible say anything about celebrating the birth of Christ? If so, where? (4) Is Santa invited to the Royal Birthday Party? (5) If Christmas is such a joyous time of the year why are suicide and depression prevalent during the Christmas season and immediately following it? Join the conversation and the party!
