That was not the primary source of Pastor Jeff’s trauma.
He was sexually assaulted during his military career by someone who held a higher rank. The imbalance of authority added another layer to the pain. It was not simply an act of violence; it was also a devastating betrayal within an institution built on trust, discipline, leadership, and accountability.
Military sexual trauma can affect every part of a survivor’s life. It may influence personal relationships, professional confidence, faith, emotional stability, and the ability to trust other people. Survivors may wrestle with shame, anger, anxiety, depression, nightmares, or the belief that they should have somehow prevented what happened.

His journey would take him “from trauma to triumph, from broken to builder, and from abused to affirming others.”
