502: Learning to Get Past Your Past with Jason VanRuler

Today’s guest and I seem to have a lot in common, and I’m so glad I was given the chance to meet him and interview him about his book. I think it’s one you definitely need to read for yourself.

His name is Jason VanRuler, and his book is called Get Past Your Past: How Facing the Broken Places Leads to True Connection.

Your brokenness, Jason Says, is not the end of the story. It’s time to heal.

Any of us can get stuck in our struggle. Jesus came to set us free and give us life–abundant life–but while we believe it for everyone else, it’s hard to accept his forgiveness and grace for ourselves. We continue in our old ways, living as one with no hope because we’re afraid of failing if we try to get better.

But what if brokenness–the array of behaviors and symptoms that show us that all is not as it should be with us–isn’t all there is? What if we can change?

As a licensed therapist and a man who’s dealt with his own problems–including childhood trauma, alcohol abuse, drug use, and bouts of depression–Jason VanRuler understands what you’re going through. In Get Past Your Past, he offers empathy, grace, and a hand to hold as he shares from his own places of brokenness and his professional knowledge
