Don and Karen have been involved with an abuse recovery program for a number of year in their local church. In this episode they share the knowledge that they have gathered to encourage and strengthen our listeners. The path of healing is not a quick or easy journey but it is part of the redemption that Christ wants to do in your life. Join us as we learn more about healing and how that can play in our lives.

1. Abuse builds anger in the survivor that is either explosive, implosive, or both. Implosive anger often masquerades as other issues. The anger can also be buried so deeply that it is not even recognized, let alone felt.

2. Genuine healing is absolutely possible through
- Christ
- Forgiveness
- Truth

3. The battlefield in all of this is in the mind. The battle is for truth, not for power. The truth comes from God’s Word alone.

4. Abuse does not define the survivor. It is a part of his/her story and has been used by God to shape his/her for His purposes, but it is not the story.

5. In God’s sovereignty, pain is never, ever without purpose.
