The Wounds Of The Faithful

Happily ever after? It's pretty disturbing to find out 24 hours after the wedding that you've made a big mistake. I'm continuing Part 9 of my abuse story, covering the wedding, the honeymoon, and the rocky first year of marriage. You'll hear about the strange thing that was happening as I was walking down the aisle. Why did my new husband leave me alone at a bed and breakfast for 2 hours? Find out how my wedding gown got ruined, and the continuing saga with the in- laws. What did I choose to do when I realized I was stuck? I will be talking about all this and more, so join us for a crazy wedding story.

How do you cope with an illness that doesn't seem to go away? How does it affect your relationship with God? What are some coping strategies to deal with the struggles? I have my husband Brian back on the podcast to answer those very questions. We talk about all the things that have happened during this past year reflecting on the one year anniversary of the podcast. Some of our conversation is serious and some of it is pretty funny. We talk about all kinds of things: our favorite music, the garden we started, dealing with his illness and coping mechanisms, prayer, and advice from Brian for those who are suffering. This is a little different than our usual podcast, but come and meet Brian, the other half of my team!

"Why did you marry him?" is a question I've been asked more than once. This week, I tell the story of how I met my ex, his family's rich heritage, and our strange dating relationship full of red flags. I point out some of the traits that are textbook narcissistic behaviors that he exhibited. I asked myself, "Why did I ignore the abuse right up to the engagement?" You'll hear my crazy stories about bumping heads with my future Italian mother in law while planning the wedding. I reflect on why I didn't end the engagement when there were doubts. There will be many important insights about listening to that inner voice that you will want to hear. Join me for Part 7 of my story.

Would you marry someone that called you ugly? Or treated you like a trolphy? Well, I almost did. This week I am continuing my story, during the second year of bible college. I started dating this Peruvian fellow in my Spanish church. You'll hear about how we met and started doing ministry together in the Spanish church and the bus ministry. I get candid on how purity culture can backfire and how God's grace can still use us and restore us when we stray from the path. I follow the events that led to the decision to call off the engagement. Unfortunately, I remembered some obvious racism in that church and explain what the Bible says about the subject. I end the episode with a song for you called "Study War No More". Join me for Part 6 of my story.

This week on the podcast, we are continuing with Part 5 of my story, where I reminesce about my first year in bible college. I talk about the culture of the church and the school, the dating scene, the legalistic standards, and the insane ministry schedule I kept. I started my formal voice and piano training and went on two foreign missions trips. I end with some of the things about the church and school that bothered me, but also remember the wonderful people who helped me out in tough times. Join me for the next leg of my journey!

Sometimes in our lives, circumstances seem so hopeless that ending it all appears to be the solution to end the pain. That happened to my guest Rob Decker, when he decided to end it all by jumping out of a third story window-and surviving the fall. We will find out about his childhood abuse, being raised by parents who were addicts, his path of self destruction, and making bad choices in relationships. You will hear about the series of events that led up to his attempted suicide and the miracles that followed during his recovery. Discover how God sent him a wakeup call to bring him to Jesus and His endless grace. Today, God uses Rob to help others overcome, hopelessness, addiction, suicide with his numerous ministries. Don't miss this exciting testimony of redemption!

bio:

Rob Decker: Husband, Father, Personal Fitness Trainer, Health Coach, CCAR Recovery Coach, Best Selling Author, Speaker

Rob's primary objective is to share his story of a failed suicide attempt that led to a relationship with God. He suffered many years of sadness, anger, confusion and fed that with drugs, alcohol and bad relationships. With the help of God, he was able to turn his story into one of forgiveness, understanding, and love. His desire is to inspire, encourage, and give hope to those who have had similar battles.

Thanks for joining me on Part 4 of telling my life, my ministry, and abuse story. It starts out with moving back east to be closer to extended family. I enter the work force with a few challenging jobs, join my cousin's church, and finally get baptized. Learn why being overly vocal with your family about your new faith can backfire. I reminesce about the first woman that I helped escape from domestic violence, sharing Jesus with a Hindu coworker, and getting initated during my first time knocking on doors during visitation. At my first missions conference, I got called to be a missionary. I made a few friends with a couple church families and gain a benefactor to help me get through college. I end this episode with a song selection called Travelin' Shoes, a catchy blues tune from the Civil War era. I hope you enjoy it!

Join me this week as I continue on part 3 of my story. I talk about my teenage growing pains during my high school years, and adjusting to my parents' divorce. I navigate my renewed relationship with God at the same time I started dating my atheist boyfriend. You'll hear the adventures with my first car and surviving the 122 degree heatwave. The episode ends with a catchy musical selection, I Choose To Praise You.

On this week's podcast, I will continue telling my story. I reflect on the challenges of attending new public school out west. I share the story of how I came to saving faith in the Lord Jesus. You will also hear about the time I was followed home by a pedophile, and the harrowing experience of being fondled by a guidance counselor in grade school. Don't worry, we will also reminesce on fun childhood memories. I would be honored if you would join me on Part 2 of my journey!

Welcome to my journey! I'm starting a new series about my background, bible college years, church planting and abuse story. This will be the first time telling my entire story on the podcast. It will be a raw, honest, and transparent telling of heartaches, trials, successes, failures, and valuable lessons along the way. Each step of my journey, I reflect on how God was there through it all, even when sometimes I didn't realize it. This week, I will be reminescing about my early childhood years, Catholic school, and laughing at my jeuvenile mischief. It will be an honor to have you join me!
