Have you ever felt betrayed or rejected by people you thought were friends? Jesus did, too. He invested three years of time into His disciples’ lives, teaching them, encouraging them, showing them God and His power, healing the sick.

How can we cope with betrayal? Check out this week’s episode, 20-If you have Ever Been Betrayed, Jesus Understands Your Pain: Biblical Mindfulness to Help You Heal.
