Which part of this message was most impactful for you?
It was "How do we help someone heal?" Not easy...period!🌞🌞🌚🌚
Pastor Craig l know all to well of all the abuse l suffered for 20yrs in my marriage, yes l divorced him in 1996 because of the sexual abuse that was exposed by my daughter, for by the GRACE AND MERCY OF MY SAVIOR I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY HEALED AND WAS ABLE TO FORGIVE THAT PERSON JUST A FEW YEARS AGO ,VERT LONG PROCESS BUT MY SAVIOR GETS THE GLORY AMEN
I never had any problem with forgiveness; I even pray for those that hurt me spiritually, emotionally, physically and for being betrayed by those that claim to love me, husband, brothers and sisters in Christ. I can bless them all, but I don't trust anyone, I have no hopes of a better life. I'm not a victim and I don't play that card either. I just hate this world, this life, all the sufferings everywhere and I find Jesus' life and sufferings soooooo cruel.
All of it. The part about the crucifixion
I would love to talk with pastor Craig....
Today I sorendering my life to Jesus Amen

Neglect and abandonment are forms of emotional abuse, too.
Very true. There are many, many forms of abuse, sadly. Praying for you if you have been through any of them!

You have no idea how long I have waited for a pastor to talk about abuse in a family. I still have hurt and though I have forgiven each person in my family I had to walk away from them all. I hear all the time if you can’t forgive them and have a relationship with them then your not a child of God. Yet God is always reminding me that I’m not alone and nothing can separate me from Him and His love. Thank you for speaking on this

I've been listening to you for 2 months now. I'm a strict reformed pentecostal. But your voice speaks to me. Lord forgive me because I have let my CPTSD damage and abuse the woman you have put in my life. Help me forgive her, let be the man that will love her and cherish her. If not, remove me from her life so she can find the one that will. Help me love like you love me. Help me lead my children to one day love correctly even though people hurt me. Heal me lord. I give you my trauma. Heal me o Lord. Do not turn your face from me. Hear my prayer, hear My cry. In Jesus name Amen. Thank you pastor. Your messages on mental health and abuse don't make me feel alone as a man. I'm a single father of 5. It's hard to trust someone again after divorce and betrayel. You make it believable. My name is John.

I had years of verbal curses stuck in my head 24/7 that my husband spoke to me, I became so desperate for freedom from the torment in my mind!!! I spent hours every day in my bath tub begging God to heal me. Then on Dec 18th, 2020 I had a deliverance and IMMEDIATELY the words were ALL gone!!! I forgive very quickly now and pray for his deliverance too...FREEDOM IS OURS THROUGH CHRIST 🙌 🙌 😅 🙌

A topic that needs discussion. Abuse is real and needs to be recognized so more people can heal. Thank you for talking about this
So many people sadly die.😭😭😭
Thank you so much for addressing this important issue, Pastor Craig. I wish more churches tackled this difficult topic.

I've been struggling for 2 years to move on from a broken heart caused by someone who I thought cared for me, but who said so many hurtful and judgemental things; been trying to understand why he treated me so and why he never felt bad for saying such hurtful things. This sermon just opened my eyes again to 2 things: "hurt people hurt people" and I probably need to still forgive him to be released of him. Thanks for the message

Thank you pastor. I was unfortunately abused as a child. But through Christ Jesus I have overcome the impacts of abuse, and being abused does not mean anything negative about me. Jesus suffered before me so that could live in peace. Thank you Jesus

We Forget The Past & 3. We Glorify God 4 The Restoration Where Don't Dwell on The Past Written In Isaiah 43:18 Where By The Stripes of Our Great LORD Jesus Christ, We're Healed Where Our Sins are Forgiven Where We Bear Each Other's Burdens & So Fulfil The Law of Christ Written In Galatians 6:2 4 I Have Been Blessed Pst. Craig Groeschel So Veryyyyy, Veryyyyyy Much* & May Our Great Almighty God Bless Yu Pst. Craig Groeschel & Life Church So Veryyyyyy, Veryyyyyy Much.🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
This hit my heart listening to the podcast Sunday afternoon. My partner had revealed the truth he saw about my parents bring up. After many nights in prayer, the truth is that he was correct. The truth being hard to swallow. That it was abuse. "What is normal is not normal" And what became normal to me I didn't recognize as abuse.
I am in the midle of dealing with emotional abuse, from my mother and father. My parents denying the truth. Bringing on the burden to me. Telling me that its a lie. Making me feel guilty. I sometimes am confused and hurt. It is a lot harder when it's abuse with your parents, because we are to honor our father and mother.
We had brought that along with the pastors of the church. This was a serious matter. My mother is in a role of leadership. And it can effect her role as. aleader with the children ministry. The leaders at the church had done nothing regarding the issue. Taking a step back from living at home, I moved out to protect my emotional and spiritual health. This is difficult. Needing action needs to be taken. I have been in contact with leadership from another church to help in healing and what actions should be taken.
Prayer request on my end.
Pray that the situation settles. That God heals any broken relationships. It hurts me to see that people are still living in sin even when they've been told about theier sinful nature. I pray that anyone facing similar issues of abuse that they are able to heal from their past, and current pain of the abuse. It is not your fault, something I have had to learn. You are not to blame for your abuse. It is the sinner.
God I pray for healing for the victims, and I pray for the sinners to come to realize the pain they caused upon the victims. And I pray that they come to repent and learn that the way they treated others is not a way our heavenly father intended for his people to live. That I pray that even the abusers come to know Christ's love. And that the victims come to learn the fathers forgiveness, mercy and grace towards the abuser.
For forgiveness does not excuse what has happened. It means that your giving your trauma to God rather than handling it on your own.
Thank you pastor craig for bringing this in. This has been on my heart for the past couple months. And God has shown me the truth. Even when it's hard. Please take careful considered procedures when dealing with abuse. Don't deal with it on your own. Bring trusted people from your circle to help you. God does not want you to live with those who are wanting to harm you. He wants you to live in freedom, and in His love. Surround yourself to people who are strong with the Lord, who can pray for you and be there for you when you fall. Thank you again Pastor Craig. This is a much needed matter to be discussed within the churches.

Thank you for addressing this🙏😭❤️the church points their finger at us. We’re doing something wrong always they make it worse. Or tell you to leave , abused needs healing.
Like Craig, I didn't realize that my growing up was abusive. Mentally not physically. I followed that path. I realized 3yrs ago. I started praying the gifts of the spirit. It is not easy, you have to be diligent at all times. But yes I have changed. Thank you for this lesson.

God bless your heart. We love you and Jesus loves you ❤️
I appreciate you breaking this down for everyone. This helps bridges the gap between the abused and God. ❤❤❤❤❤
Even children hurt others when they witness others abusing. As a therapist, I see this and also witnessed with my own children when I was abused when they were young.
My whole life was filled with horrendous abuse. But God! He is healing me and growing me everyday. Thank you for addressing this. I pray it ends the epidemic of abuse 🙏🙏🙏✝️

Apprehension is rejoice! Trust us is rejoice, majesty! Rejoice!
When GOD was with Israel in its earlier years they kept serving idols but went to GOD when they needed help this went on for so long centeraies even that GOD would forgive them and bring them up only for them to betray HIM again. His forgiveness surpasses our understanding if a friend were to do that to us we’d give them 2 chances and their done but GOD forgave so much because of HIS love and I find that so beautiful. Let’s be more like HIM and forgive just like pastor Craig said.
Great message. I appreciate how you uncover the hurt and shame that has been covered and left a festering boil. Oftentimes, some churches fail to address the actions and scars of a past life and ignore it but want to start at salvation. The Devil doesn't forget and he addresses it repeatedly with reminders and that is why there's so much uncertainty of salvation, faith, worthiness and true repentance. Thank you.
We're so glad this message resonated with you Rhonda Williams.
Father God, I life up Rhonda Williams to you asking for your healing and protection over them. I ask you remind Rhonda Williams of your faithfulness and love. God I pray on the darkest of nights you remind Rhonda Williams of your presence and peace that they are not what has happened to them, but they are your child who you love. In Jesus' name, amen.

I've recently come out of an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship with a narcissist that only ended because I found out he was having a sexual affair with a coworker. The mental toll that takes is something that's truly hard to explain and so is how you can physically feel the hurt. I've so desperately been trying to connect with God in hopes that he will hear my pleas and heal my hurt. I get it doesnt "work" that way. But I've been burying myself in sermons, and so many talk about the mindset towards healing and forgiveness with no guidance as to what that actually looks like, or ever specifically addressing trauma, emotional and psychological abuse. Until Pastor Craig Groeschel. While I still feel this agony I am thankful that I found these sermons that specifically talk about these things and offer tangible steps you can take in your healing journey that can help alleviate the hurt. Thank you.

Healing is possible. I lived it🙏
❤️🙌🙏
this needed to be addresssed by the Church monthly, even more! I wondered why it's not, and discovered that most religious leaders, are unhealed victims!
Thank you so much for bringing this subject with cousciousness and compassion.
I'm trying to heal as much as I can. I feel very alone along this journey.
I have prayed for so many years, but I finally stopped, because I can't feel God's comfort and love and I so much need this.
During the last year, all I could feel was anger against Him for abandonning me in this sinful world and for ignoring my prayers.
One day, I'll maybe be able to forgive. To be in peace with what I'm not able to accept right now. With what I'm still afraid of.
Please pray for me.

“Whoever finds God, finds life!”
I can't thank you enough for speaking on this topic. A friend was asked to share her testimony before her church of recovering from rape, only she wasn't allowed to talk about the rape, only that a friend had hurt her & she forgave them. I left an emotionally abusive relationship about 4 years ago. Sometimes I'm invalidated as there was no physical threat or injury. Every moment of every day for those years I've been tormented. As a child I watched loved ones go through emotional abuse & wondered why I was tormented & scarred by it. It's horrific. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm beginning to finally want to heal & break free. When I tried to forgive the pain never went away. The bitterness & anger never went away. I needed to hear this today. It's time to start healing. Many family members have suffered abuse & never healed. I want the legacy of hurt & dysfunction to end with me. Keep preaching the truth & the hard things. I've been so blessed to come across your channel. 🧡
🙏❤️
A few years ago I have been psychologically abused by my bosses and coworkers..... I am still trying to understand the reasons behind those behaviors, even though I have some problems with thinking correctly. Because of this a deep seated resentment for humanity rised within me, and I am almost all the time alone. I don't know what to do.... I try to find the force each day to live as a normal functioning person even though the things that people have done on me.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 thank you father 🙏🙏🙏

Love the Title of the Message Pastor Craig. I didn't experience physical abuse. But a lot of Mental, Verbal Abuse makes me struggle to produce good deeds. I’ll pray for those who have experienced physical abuse.

Thank you for this 🙏
Wish more church pastors would watch this. My old church pastor and leadership made me feel broken and shoved me out. They made me feel crazy and were very exclusive. They told me I was not equipped to lead the ministries I started and took them away from me all while saying, "You are welcome here." Stayed for three years thinking I was the problem while my faith and soul was dying. Attending that church was another form of abuse.

Majesty is love in glory
Abuse can leave one feeling alone and isolated thinking that no one understands and doubting your own reality. I think we also forget that Jesus understands because He suffered at the hands of man. This message was impactful because it drove home the fact that we are never alone, even in our darkest hour.
🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for this message. I don't want to be broken anymore.

I needed to hear this. I’ve been trying to heal from abuse (emotional, physical and financial) and it will be 2 years June 1st. I’m still angry and I still feel hatred but I want to move on, let go, I tell myself vengeance isn’t mine but the lord. He abused me and abandoned our child when he was 7 months old. The baby is now 2 (will be 3 in October). I just want to move on. He cheated, lied and stole $$$ from me and could care less if I had money for food or shelter and childcare. I’m tired of being angry and looking crazy by calling him and screaming. It hurts that he doesn’t care……please pray for me.
