“Just had to thank you for the total gift your podcasts are. You have given me words to express my experience of recovery, enabling me to explain to “normals” for their need of recovery from the destruction of the fall.
My story: In 1944 At 6months old went through 17 foster homes 7 different schools.
I am a survivor of physical, emotional, sexual,
and religious abuse. When they ran out of homes joined the Navy. My first wife died in my arms. Had a baby son from second marriage die in my arms. Though I had given my life to Christ in either my 2nd or 3rd foster home. And went to every church but a Jewish synagogue I could never get all the rules right. The harder I tried the shame base would always sabotage it —- too long!
It took the loss of my 2nd wife and 9 children before I would stop trying to do it right, and let Jesus do the healing He was always waiting to do. Five or six dedicated people,my 12 step people and Bradshaw’s Inner Child tapes , and Dan Allender’s Healing The wounded Heart . Sence then after helping a few other broken other souls I started learning the hard lessons of helping
“ normals” understand we’re all broken and all our definitions are, at best twisted by the
terrible fall that Jesus came to redeem for who- so-ever will. Thank you for the gift of your 3 books and the podcasts .”
