[2:44] Understanding and Healing the Soul ● As a child, Rob experienced anxiety, faced bullies, and felt unloved. These wounds created a deep fear in him, and he always tried to hide from new environments. ● Through God, Rob found his soul healed. Today, he has the strength to fearlessly travel the world to spread God’s healing. ● Reagan Kramer reflects on how many people can relate to childhood experiences that impact their soul and how they may not realize it. ● Rob explains that the soul is synonymous with the Old Testament concept of the heart. It is the center of human operations. ● Many people do not give enough importance to the idea of the soul, and Reagan thinks it is used too flippantly in the modern day. [6:35] Starting the Soul Care Movement ● Rob Reimer started the soul care movement after planting a church in Boston. ● He experienced a marriage crisis that led him to realize the need for personal change rather than focusing on the other person's issues. ● But Rob was able to overcome this crisis through his faith. He received principles to live by from God, and applied them to his life. ● Today, he feels confident enough to pass on these principles to help others, leading to the development of his book and ministry. [8:30] Narcissism and Self-Centeredness ● Everyone has a bias towards self. That self-centeredness is a result of sin. But focusing on oneself leads to misery, while focusing on Jesus and others brings peace. ● Rob describes a powerful idea: the biblical concept of dying to self as essential for experiencing abundant life in Christ. ● Dying to self involves overcoming self-centeredness, self-protection, and self-reliance. Reagan Kramer herself has found that this concept helped her in her spiritual journey. ● Without dying to self, Christ cannot be formed in a person, and they remain bound by their sinful nature. [13:05] Repentance, Brokenness, and Soul Care ● Dr. Rob explains the first step, identity, and its importance in Christian life. True identity is found in Christ, who makes us part of His family. ● The second step, repentance, heals the soul and places us in God's presence. ● Repentance is part of the good news of Jesus and essential for living in His light. Rob points out the Western value of tolerance with the biblical concept of sin and repentance. ● People are more open to discussing their brokenness and dysfunction than their sinfulness. ● Reagan Kramer agrees, noting that many people are desperate for healing and open to solutions, even if they don't understand the theological aspects. [26:11] Breaking Family Sin Patterns ● There exist patterns of sin in families that we must break. This unaddressed sin can have a devastating impact on future generations. ● Rob uses the example of Abraham's family sin pattern of favoritism and how it continued through his descendants. ● Breaking free from sinful patterns and living a holy life is a noble and honorable goal that emphasizes soul care. ● Furthermore, addressing these family sin patterns requires profound trust and honesty. The healing process will come by being open to each other. [32:01] Forgiveness and Overcoming Fear ● Forgiveness is difficult because we are afraid. Fear prevents us from accessing forgiveness. ● However, Rob emphasizes the importance of forgiving those who sin against us to allow God's healing and peace to flow in our lives. ● Rob shares his personal experience of forgiving a man who spread lies about him, demonstrating the power of obedience to Jesus' commands. ● Forgiveness and overcoming fear are essential for living a life free from anxiety and the bondage of sin. [49:42] Healing Wounds and Deliverance ● Moving forward in freedom is easier if we begin by healing wounds from the past. Unresolved anger and pain create barriers to God's healing and must be addressed. ● God’s deliverance lets us cast out demonic spirits that cause torment and bondage in our souls. ● These wounds or indwelling demons might even be the result of generational curses that went unresolved. ● Reagan Kramer shares her personal experience of hearing demonic manifestations and the importance of the Church in setting people free.
