When Tim Schulte was 12 years old, his parents divorced and his mom moved away. Finding himself without emotional support, Tim feels isolated and starts believing 4 lies about himself:  I’m unlovable, I’m not good enough, I’ll never be good enough, and God is continually disappointed in me.  These 4 lies would start Tim on a path of destruction that no coping mechanism could conceal.
