If you've been suffering under such weight, there's good news. You can obtain relief from life's deepest hurts while seeing how God can use your past as a blessing for others. In other words, while you may not forget what occurred in your past, it no longer has to serve as the controlling reality that forms your identity. How do we resolve any hostility we may have toward God because of our past? Amidst temptations and trials, what are the escape routes? What does it mean to end the denial game? How can people confront fatal addictions? What's the difference between forgiveness and cleansing? The answers to these and other questions are part of this broadcast that when followed, can be the launchpad toward healing and renewal.
