I came across your podcast through an email in which I had received. I have struggled since my early teens, recognizing the signs of the strongholds my father had placed upon myself and my family. Not an easy task growing up in an abusive home both mentally and physically, not to mention spiritually-as he'd manipulate others around him at church to make them think he was a God-fearing, good family Christian man while all a long mentally and physically abusing my momma, brother, and I.
I listened to the Episode created last year about Forgiving your father who had emotionally and/or physically abused you. It Blessed my Soul. I am a work in progress, I'll not deny. This episode was informative and helpful with my recovery process. My father passed in 2003, and currently momma has Alzheimer's. It's hard not to point fingers toward his ashes as it seems my whole family has suffered mentally and it's come out in the form of physical illness. Yet, after listening and knowing my Saviour Jesus Christ who won't forgive me if I don't forgive others as stated in Matthew and elsewhere, I must start Tonight. I am going to write a "forgive you" letter to my father and I will journal and I will spend More Time In His Word. I believe through this, God Will Prevail.
Thank You For an Amazing Podcast That Reaches People Over a Nation to Draw Them Together in Christ to Help Those in Need During Sorrow. May God Bless You and Your Podcast, 🤗🙏
