The Unseen Dreamer and Forgotten Believer Conference
Breaking Silence on Sexual Violence in Sacred Spaces
Admission is Free | Registration Required | Limited to 306 Attendees
There Are Stories We Quote...
And Stories We Avoid.
The account of Joseph resisting sexual coercion.
The account of Tamar surviving sexual violence at the hands of her own brother.
Both are in Scripture.
Both are real.
Both continue to reflect experiences many people silently carry today.
Yet within many faith communities, these stories remain among the least discussed despite the profound insight they offer into trauma, power, silence, justice, healing, and restoration.
Joseph & Tamar was created to change that.
This conference is more than a gathering. It is a courageous invitation to confront difficult conversations with compassion, education, and hope while creating pathways toward healing for individuals, families, leaders, and faith communities.
Conference Overview
Joseph & Tamar: The Unseen Dreamer and Forgotten Believer Conference is a faith-centered awareness and healing experience rooted in the principles of value-based education, reflective storytelling, personal acceptance, and togetherness.
Hosted through the heart and mission of Love Is A Parable in partnership with Daughters of Destiny, this conference explores the intersection of faith, trauma, healing, and reconciliation by addressing sexual violence and domestic violence within sacred spaces.
Through keynote presentations, workshops, panel discussions, reflective storytelling, and meaningful dialogue, participants will be invited into an environment where truth can be acknowledged without compromising dignity, faith, or hope.
This experience is not about comparison.
It is about acknowledgment.
It is about education.
It is about creating space for reconciliation with faith, self, community, and the Heavenly Father.
At its core, Joseph & Tamar reminds every participant that they are still worthy of love, value, healing, visibility, and belonging.
Our Intent
Joseph & Tamar exist to challenge silence while equipping faith communities with practical tools to respond to trauma with wisdom, compassion, accountability, and love.
Together we will explore:
Sexual violence and domestic violence within sacred spaces
Biblical narratives often overlooked or minimized
The emotional, spiritual, and psychological impact of trauma
Faith after trauma
Survivor-centered healing
Healthy responses from churches and ministry leaders
Value-based reconciliation
Restoring trust, identity, and hope
Because what we refuse to talk about...
we unintentionally allow to continue.
