    "(Satanic Ritual Abuse) - SRA & Deliverance: A Responsible Conversation"

    "When I step into trauma spaces, as a minister / coach, l don't come in loud - l come in humble because when someone is sharing their pain that ground is sacred / holy." - Grace Ovba I don't believe in deliverance that overrides someone's will. If there isn't consent, safety and dignity then it isn't freedom - it's control and harmful - Grace Ovba "My assignment isn't to magnify darkness. My assignment is to help restore a person's voice, dignity, agency, hope and their relationship with God." - Grace Ovba Today, Grace sits down with U.S. deliverance minister, Randy Goodwin to explore SRA, Occult deprogramming, etc. With over 20 years of ministry, he has helped hundreds of SRA survivors, trafficked survivors and individuals seeking occult freedom and lasting freedom from Spiritual abuse. His approach is rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ has the power to break every chain and set people free from spiritual warfare holding them back, through personalised counselling.

Dissociation, fear, fragmentation and memory gaps can be trauma responses. Responsible ministry distinguishes between spiritual belief and psychological injury.Survivors deserve agency: Ethical deliverance ministry restores choice, not dependence. Survivors should never feel pressured, coerced or spiritually overpowered i n the name of healing.Avoid suggestion and sensationalism: Leading questions, dramatic language and premature spiritual conclusions can unintentionally shape or distort vulnerable memories. Ministry must prioritise humility and restraint.Collaboration is wisdom, not weakness:Faith leaders and certified trauma professionals can work together. Referrals are not a lack of faith- they are an act of care.Healing is often quiet and gradual: True restoration may look less like dramatic confrontation and more like safety, grounding, integration and rebuilding trust - with God, self and others.
