My guest Jay Cookingham, shares his story of suffering emotional, verbal, physical and sexual abuse as a boy from his father. This happened for 10 years between the ages of 7 - 17. Jay gave his life to Jesus at the age of 7, and this is the same time when the abuse became worse. When he was 17, he was about to commit suicide alone in a forest, when he heard the voice of God say "Don't". At the age of 19, the Lord supernaturally helped Jay show kindness and forgiveness to his Dad. Jay is now a pastor, author, conference speaker and father of seven. Jay also talks about the passing of his wife of 37 years back in December 2019. Jay recognizes and preaches the goodness of God, even when life is at its worst.
