The Way Up! Episode 27: Judging Correctly

Episode 28: Spiritual Warfare and Church Hurt

In this episode I discuss the effects of Spiritual Warfare in causing Church Hurt.  Spiritual Warfare involves our battle with unseen forces of evil - demons.  Church Hurt comes when the demons will influence spiritually weaker people to cause trauma and "try to hurt you as deeply as possible."  Healing the trauma can come when we forgive people "who don't know what they are doing" and are comforted by understanding we were right in pursuing God more deeply.  We became the enemy of the evil ones but we can rejoice in that. #healingfromChurchHurt #ChurchHurt #Godislove #hopeaftertrauma #cultsurvivor #spiritualabuse #recovery #healingtogether #Godlovesdeeply #Godisgood #transformedbyLove #transformed by Grace #EveryoneIsDesperatelyInsecure #trulyfree #God'smasterpiece #transformed #newwayofthinking #truthsetsusfree #truthistheanswer #differentJesus #divorceisnotunforgiveable #Godsloveisunfathomable #benefitsofforgiveness #forgivenessisworthit #brokenheartedpeoplecanhelpothers #knowingJesus #knowJesusdeeply #addictedtoJesus #judgecorrectly #ourbattleisnotagainstfleshandblood Thanks for listening.

The Way Up! Episode 27: Judging Correctly

In this episode I discuss a verse that has been misused by many that leads to control and Church Hurt.  That is the phrase from Jesus where He says, "Do not judge or you will be judged."  However this is just a small part of a longer statement by Jesus so that's why it has been misused.  People are made guilty if they try to say an action is wrong, even when it leads to pain and trauma.  A better verse to focus on is John 7:24, where Jesus instructs us to “Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.” Then we see healing occur with no guilt. #healingfromChurchHurt #ChurchHurt #Godislove #hopeaftertrauma #cultsurvivor #spiritualabuse #recovery #healingtogether #Godlovesdeeply #Godisgood #transformedbyLove #transformed by Grace #EveryoneIsDesperatelyInsecure #trulyfree #God'smasterpiece #transformed #newwayofthinking #truthsetsusfree #truthistheanswer #differentJesus #divorceisnotunforgiveable #Godsloveisunfathomable #benefitsofforgiveness #forgivenessisworthit #brokenheartedpeoplecanhelpothers #knowingJesus #knowJesusdeeply #addictedtoJesus #judgecorrectly #ourbattleisnotagainstfleshandblood Thanks for listening.

Episode 25 - The Treasure of Knowing Jesus Part 3

This episode is part 3 in my discussion of The Treasure of Knowing Jesus.  I continue talking about 7 Keys to Intimacy with God.  I review the first three keys - Tent of Meeting, Worship and Addiction to God's Presence.  I then introduce two more keys - The Favor of God and Know His Ways.  These keys help us to know God, and His Son Jesus Christ, more deeply and intimately.  This helps in the healing process from Church Hurt as the steps of healing are reinforced and made lasting. #healingfromChurchHurt #ChurchHurt #Godislove #hopeaftertrauma #cultsurvivor #spiritualabuse #recovery #healingtogether #Godlovesdeeply #Godisgood #transformedbyLove #transformed by Grace #EveryoneIsDesperatelyInsecure #trulyfree #God'smasterpiece #transformed #newwayofthinking #truthsetsusfree #truthistheanswer #differentJesus #divorceisnotunforgiveable #Godsloveisunfathomable #benefitsofforgiveness #forgivenessisworthit #brokenheartedpeoplecanhelpothers #knowingJesus #knowJesusdeeply #addictedtoJesus #judgecorrectly #ourbattleisnotagainstfleshandblood Thanks for listening.
