174 – Getting from hurt to hope
Are there things hurting you from the past you're still carrying around? Or do you know someone who is?
This week's podcast episode is full of healing. I'm talking with Steve Wormer about his work as a minister, and the Hurt to Hope program he works with to help churches and individuals find healing in their lives. It's a Bible-based program that helps someone move from the hurts of the past to hope for the future.
We talk about what it takes to bring healing to a person's life as well as to a whole church membership that may be hurting.
Here are some of the main points we cover:
- Forgiveness and trust are two different things
- What is forgiveness anyway?
- Sometimes forgiveness is like wrestling with God
- God likes you to be specific in your prayers
- Gratitude is the cousin of forgiveness
- Gratitude is a powerful healing prayer
- The 5 things that kill gratitude
- There's always something to be grateful for
- What brings healing to someone's life?
- What does being a follower of Jesus put on your heart?
- We all need to love more like Jesus did
- Our churches especially need to be more loving in and out of church
