It was an absolute privilege to have Alan Davey share with us his 'Living Well' seminar. This is a MUST LISTEN for all. 

What hurts more - a broken arm or a broken heart?

When Jesus began His ministry, He read from Isaiah 61:1 where it says, The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.

This scripture is not referring to a physical heart or prison or darkness but that of our ‘soul’. Finding healing and freedom here is essential for it is in this place that all life stems.

No one gets through life let alone our childhood without being impacted by the pain that come from unmet needs unhealed hurts and unresolved issues and the like. These ‘wounds’ can and do have a profound effect on our lives. 

In this brief seminar Alan gives proven tools skills and insights in how to pursue and achieve deep and lasting healing in these areas.
