    Summer Series: Hurts

    Welcome to our SUMMER SERIES, where we are reposting our favorite episodes!



    In this repost of Episode #68, Kim shares a step-by-step method to process both little and big hurts openly, honestly, and in a healthy way.



    This is one of Kim's favorite episodes because she didn't learn this skill until her 40s, and it would have saved her a lot of trouble if she had learned it earlier in life.



    No one goes through life without experiencing some hurt. Do you know how to process these hurts in a healthy way?



    Processing your hurts is a skill you need in life, whether single or married. The ability to handle the hurts you experience will greatly impact the quality of your single years and your marriage later.

So amazing!

From loving the book to now this podcast.. I’ve been able to look at things differently and have scripture to back up my decision making and take notes on what to look for and what to change. Im very thankful for this podcast 🤍

This Podcast Changed My Life!

I started listening to your podcast last week and it has been a game changer! It has taught me so much about trusting the Lord. It had made me laugh, convicted me, encouraged me and pointed me back to Jesus! I am a single girl currently living in North Africa as a homeschool teacher and as I watch my friends get married this podcast is such an encouragement. I am so thankful to have this resource as I pursue God while I am single!
