Walking Through the Healing Process - Stephen Arterburn 

Very true ❤

Amen sounds similar to my story.

Boy do I know about church hurt that's the worst kind of hurt because you don't expect to be heard it in the church and sometimes it's the preacher and and I just think that I'm not talking about your situation because I don't know about yours but I can just only speak for mine I think we forget just because they are preacher teacher that we forget that they're just as human at the end of the day as we are and that they have more tax on them or just as much as we do and our daily life and and I think they have an extra bullseye because if they go left then they can take a lot of people to get hurt by their actions so it's it's Satanist I believe it's after them a little bit more then then the rest because of the calling on their life and he's trying to make a mockery like yeah you supposed to be so safe but look what you did you know stuff like that but and once you've been hurt by church people you'll never want to go back because sometimes the world don't even treat you that bad and the world is a lot more honest about the situation and there's no self-righteousness with it like if they doing something that they know is wrong they be like yeah I did it and you know don't judge me where the church people I'm not going to judge them but sometimes they don't mean to do it in their struggling to overcome a situation but yet they're in a position at the church

Everyday I try to tell myself that whatever I've been through it's okay because Jesus is the healer and that he can heal me through it all if I go get help and let him

I wonder why Focus never talks about Celebrate Recovery. After years in secular 12 step recovery, the real healing happened and is happening in Celebrate Recovery because it points to Christ as our healer and The Word as the source of Truth.

Sorry for your sad news. Couldn't even imagine how difficult it would be. Praying for God's daily comfort and strength for you. 🙏🙏

I seen my 2 sister's lose a husband & a year later a son & It's only through the Lord they exist but personally I can't imagine even though I was right with them I can't imagine I know they couldn't have survived without the Lord I'm so sorry for what you are going through my heart breaks for you & my prayers are with you🙏🙏

Im really sorry, I lost my dad but I couldn't imagine losing my children. It's been a really hard time.

I hope something I said just allow you for a second to know that I know with pain is if that's any cancellation

I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. 🙏
