So I had a conversation with him about my story on Church Hurt, and we had so much fun that I invited him to also record on my podcast. and tell his story of church hurt. So he is a pastor in Maricopa. That is about an hour or so south of me.

Why does God allow his people to suffer? What purpose is there is pain? We have Part Two of my conversation with Norm Wielsch, where we talk about these very important topics. What is one of the things that God hates?(It's not what you think.) We talk about another book he has in the works about the question of suffering.

Then his daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness with a poor prognosis. Due to his poor coping mechanisms that are against God's moral standards, Norm made a series of poor decisions that landed him in federal prison with a 14 year sentence.It was during this most intense trial of his life, with the reality that he was going to go to prison for a long time, that he answered God's calling. Norm had been an agnostic all of his life, but he knew that God was calling him to minister to those people who were suffering from trauma, especially first responders. ​While in prison, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Theology & Counseling, a Doctorate in Christian Counseling, and a California Drug and Alcohol Counseling Certificate. He is currently working at a Men's Residential Treatment facility as a Registered Alcohol and drug Counselor and Pastoral   Care Chaplain.While in prison, Norm counseled many inmates with a variety of issues, preached God’s word in the chapel, taught Christian classes, and led bible studies.​Norm often speaks to those who are suffering from traumatic experiences  including churches and addiction ministries.​Norm has a Master's Degree in Law Enforcement Management.

I was out in the garden at 6am doing my chores. I stopped at 8. 30 because I was getting nauseous and dizzy, uh, that is the first stage of heat exhaustion. So, I stopped my chores today. Uh, and it will 120 degrees every summer it does.[00:01:28] That's, that's normal for us, and why do we live here and put up with that heat? Well, because the rest of the year, it's gorgeous. It's, it's 75 degrees during the winter. And so that's what we live for.

What is the real secret sauce to successful recovery? How do you talk to your kids about these sex topics? He offers lots of resources your those that are struggling with sex addiction. Join us for this important conversation.BIO:Logan is a born & raised Alaskan, married to his gorgeous bride Carrie, who herself is a 4th-generation Alaskan; and together they are raising 4 amazing but crazy little monkeys. Their life is a simple one - they love their family time, their dogs, and exploring the beautiful Alaskan wilderness. And yet, absolutely none of this should be possible today. For years, Logan did just about everything in his power to destroy his marriage and his life. Logan was a raging sex addict. Porn, affairs, hiring prostitutes, and more had simply become a way of life for Logan. He thought he had no hope. In 2016, God began to change all that. Through Recovery, God transformed Logan’s life and his marriage. Logan and his wife Carrie each now lead Recovery groups, doing what they can to give back by sharing the gifts that God has given.https://www.prodigalsofalaska.com/Link TreeWebsite: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

I’m Logan, and I’m no longer in bondage to sexual addiction. Being able to say those words is the 2nd biggest blessing in my life, after salvation through Jesus Christ. I spent years actively destroying my marriage, my life, and the lives of many others. I was an addict to pornography, affairs, and much more. I was, as Paul said, the chief of sinners. And I truly never envisioned a life where I wasn’t constantly mired in sexual depravity. It had become all I knew, in order to live on a daily basis. In 2016, God began to change all that. My life & my marriage now is something I literally could not have fathomed, 8 years ago. And I sincerely believe my mission on this earth is to share with others, how that happened. Because it wasn’t easy, it wasn’t quick, and I didn’t do it on my own.BIO:Logan is a born & raised Alaskan, married to his gorgeous bride Carrie, who herself is a 4th-generation Alaskan; and together they are raising 4 amazing but crazy little monkeys.

Since January of 2021, Logan has been blessed to be able to use many of the tools he’s learned in Addiction Recovery, as a Dave Ramsey-endorsed personal finance coach.

What would you do if you had a physical or mental disability and you're being abused? You have no resources or support. You're dependent on people to help you and instead they take advantage of you and abuse you. Domestic violence and abuse are horrible even when you don't have any kind of disability.Just imagine being in a wheelchair or not being able to feed yourself, bathe yourself. Something as simple as being able to verbally express what your needs are, or you're visually or hearing impaired. It can be even a darker place for someone who's experiencing sexual, emotional, financial abuse. I have Wynne Charles on the show today who is going to share her story of having cerebral palsy and being abused by a woman and her advocacy work for the disability community.That is next on the Wounds of the Faithful podcast.About Win CharlesBorn with Cerebral Palsy, Win Charles has defied the odds by becoming an author.

How does God feel about us when we mess up? Is He really angry with us? What should we do when we want to run away from God? Why should we confess our sins to God and humble ourselves? When Does God love David so much?

Welcome back to Part Two of my interview with Kirsten Samuel! She continues with her journey of healing and saving her marriage from porn addiction. Kirsten holds nothing back sharing the guilt, shame, anger, and the hard work involved in coming out on the other side in one piece. But above all she finds hope, a new marriage, faith and love! Kirsten D Samuel understands first-hand the shock and pain of discovering your spouse’s porn use. Through the healing process, she also received counseling related to suicidal depression, PTSD, and an anxiety disorder. As a coach, she has empowered hundreds of women to rediscover peace in the mess, heal their broken hearts, regain their confidence, and create a healthy path forward. Kirsten has been featured on the Focus on the Family Daily Broadcast, Chris Fabry Live on the Moody Radio Network, and many relationship and recovery podcasts. Women who work with her finally find the freedom to be who they are beyond their partner's struggles and find hope that there is a life worth living out there for them. Want to save your marriage?

Find out what happened when the faith community told her it was wrong of her to get cochlear implants for her children. She continues to tell the many stories of God's grace and provision through the struggles and the tears. Do not miss the inspiring conclusion to our conversation filled with Unshakable Hope.Get to Know Kelly! I’m a wife, mom, Bible teacher, speaker, author, occasional blogger, and podcaster with a unique story enriched by our four children, three of whom have special needs. My husband, Lee and I, raised them in the constantly challenging world of Air Force military life. Our story evolves into an unexpected journey of chronic illnesses, medical treatments and ongoing caregiving. I am intimately familiar with the ache of unanswered prayers and experienced in the anguish of wrestling with the Lord through the weariness of long waits. If this is your story, I’m deeply and truly sorry, but I pray the Lord will encourage and comfort you through His Word, His presence and renew your hope through resources available here.

“When a spiritual environment changes, lives are saved.” That phrase is at the heart of Tina's life as well as her book “Renewing Our Minds in Love: Integrating Neuroscience and Scripture for Wholeness and Healing.” As a psychotherapist and debut author, Tina Smith lays out the harmony that exists between science and Scripture, and how, through a better understanding of both, church leaders and Christians can be Christ's hands to others. The fact that humans have the capacity to change their own brains and become healthier through developing healthy thought patterns, self-talk, spiritual disciplines, and relationships, has profound implications for science and for spiritual transformation and discipleship. In our current church culture environment, pastors and leaders are increasingly encountering individuals affected by mental health issues, abuse, trauma, and, sadly, faith-based trauma at an alarming rate. The uncomfortable reality is, most church leaders are simply not equipped to handle the complexities those struggles involve, let alone aware of the tools and methods needed to help people heal (particularly when it comes to religious trauma). Tina Smith is a Psychotherapist, Registered Social Worker, teacher, and host of the Rewired by Love radio program, who has founded Selah Treatment Centre to provide subsidized mental health healing and recovery.Website: http://www.tjscounselling.ca/Link TreeWebsite: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

We've finally made it to the finale of our series in the book of Job! Job is restored to his previous prosperity and then some. Did we ever get an answer on why humans suffer? Did he get his life back gradually or right away? What about Job's wife and late children? What are the parallels of Job's story with Jesus' story?

God finally answers Job after all these months of suffering. What God said to Job was not what he expected, but more wonderful than he could possibly imagine. He was never alone. He kept his faith. What did God do with Job's friends in the end? Is God still loving? Did Job actually sin?

This week you will hear from the long winded, very young eavesdropper who has come to counsel Job. Elihu takes 5 chapters to accuse, abuse, and brag about his puffed up knowledge to Job, an elder with a lifetime of experience. God is approaching Elihu, job and the three friends in the storm, ready to settle the score and end this misery once and for all.

Job, now in his most exhausted state after sparring a few rounds with his so called friends, is once again exposed to one more round of verbal abuse. Job vigorously defends his character, his innocence and reputation in the community. He speaks of the most profound exclamation of faith in the Bible: I know My Redeemer lives!Website: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

We're going to talk about Eliphaz, the first speaker, the first friend to speak to Job about why this is happening to him. I was going to do all of his chapters, but I think I'll be biting off more than I can chew because there's so much in between what Eliphaz says. In chapters 4 and 5, and then we have b's reply in chapter 6 and 7.[00:01:51] So,[00:01:52] I definitely will be doing them separate, because Eliphaz speaks also in chapter [00:02:00] 15 and in 22. I'm gonna have to do those on another day.[00:02:05] So let's get started here.

Part Two!As a trauma survivor, and current minister who helps women overcome obstacles to faith, I'm passionate about the message that God has put on my heart: in our deepest darkness, we find the greatest light through His Spirit.Over the past 20 years, I've gone through a profound inner transformation, which culminated after ‘listening to my pain’ with God, in my first book of my trilogy on facing and overcoming trauma, "Treasures of Darkness: Facing the Pain and Finding the Light." During the last 11 years, I've been ministering to women in the online space, with a special focus on addressing trauma pain and fostering faith in the Word and Spirit of Christ. I'm interested in talking about the theme of "In your weakness is My Strength" - how we can embrace our human weaknesses through trauma, in faith in Christ, and become Children of God through total trust in the love of God the Father.https://overcoming.live/Link TreeWebsite: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

Her education in journalism and psychology at DePaul University in Chicago gave her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims, so that she can help other victims know they are not alone and better understand their own circumstances. Today, Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. She strives to create awareness and understanding to ensure victims are given the support they need to first understand their situation and then begin the healing process. Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal that she hid under the couch cushion in the basement. Dana lives with her husband in Illinois and is in the process of publishing the prequel and sequel to GASPING FOR AIR. http://www.DanaSDiaz.comVisit my website to purchase my book, read my blog about narcissistic abuse and related topics, and take my quiz to find out if you are in a relationship with a narcissist.Link TreeWebsite: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

Many survivors suffer unspeakable abuse in their childhood and never tell another soul about it. It is very common to not have the words to even describe what happened to their bodies, their minds, and emotions. My guest Mark McNear is here to talk about his book Finding My Words: A Ruthless Commitment to Healing Gently After Trauma. Mark candidly talks about his painful childhood, the long term fallout from the abuse, what was it like going through rehab, and finding the words and the courage to tell his story. Join us for a powerful testimony of freedom in Christ!Buy Mark's Book here on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Finding-My-Words-Ruthless-Commitment-ebook/dp/B0BGMGH6C2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=36AYSHZ273U84&keywords=finding+my+words+mark+mcnear+book&qid=1694993908&sprefix=finding+my+words%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-1DR. MARK M. MCNEAR BIODr. Mark M. McNear is a Licensed Psychotherapist who has over thirty years of experience in clinical work through his private practice in New Jersey. He is a graduate of Northeastern Bible College, New York University, and Oxford Graduate School. Dr. McNear specializes in helping people who have experienced trauma in their life, as well as the maladaptive behaviors that spring forth from their woundedness. Yet, Dr. McNear doesn’t approach his clientele purely from a clinical perspective but as someone who also has experienced severe trauma in his life and the healing power found in Christ. In his recent memoir, Finding My Words: A Ruthless Commitment to Healing Gently after Trauma, Dr. McNear reveals he suffered a traumatic and abusive childhood. He suffered sexual abuse and physical abuse starting at the age of four and was repeatedly told he was stupid, a fool, and trash. Dr. McNear hid these abuses deep in his heart for many years – until they caught up with him.Today, Dr. McNear seeks to help others find the freedom and healing in Christ that he himself received once he faced his own traumatic past.In addition to his private practice, Dr. McNear has been a speaker to audiences nationwide. He has also been a frequent guest on nationally syndicated radio broadcasts, podcasts, authored articles, and Op-eds, and been a co-host panelist for a video series dealing with Christianity and Mental Health.“Mark’s experience is my experience. Though my childhood trauma and abuse left me with a lifetime of scars, it also did something else. It brought me to the God who loves me. And that changed my life and brought healing beyond measure. Whatever you’re going through, God has seen others, like Mark and I, through similar trauma to show you that if God can do it for them, he can do it now, for you.”-- Josh McDowell“It has been said that if we don’t transform our pain, we will certainly transmit it. Mark McNear shows us in this wonderful book that the opposite is also true: if we do transform our pain, we can pass on healing, wisdom, and grace to others. McNear, a professional helper, turns his pen on the pain, complexity, and beauty of his own story in a way that will capture your heart. He speaks with deep honesty about his trauma, but also about his recovery by the grace of God. Whether you are attempting to face your own trauma story or help someone around you do the same, I believe Mark’s story will be a gift and an encouragement to you.”— Nick Stumbo, Executive Director, Pure Desire Ministries, Troutdale, ORPodcast LinksWebsite: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

Reconstruction Part Two

[00:00:00]

[00:00:33] Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you for being here. And last week we talked about reconstructing our faith. After trauma or abuse and we're going to continue to talk about that today. There's lots more tips that I have for you personal experiences and Hopefully this ability.

[00:00:58] Hopefully this will be helpful to you[00:01:00] and we're going to Skip any housekeeping things today. I don't really have anything to share with you

[00:01:07] Let's get into our show.

[00:01:10] We are gonna review, what is Reconstruction? You're starting at ground zero after leaving an abusive situation or trauma and you're trying to figure out What you believe. Is this a belief that my parents gave me? Is this faith my own faith? Was These belief systems that I had Were they my own choice, or did somebody make me adopt these things out of coercion?

[00:01:45] And I've shared my testimony many times, that I chose my faith. I was raised Catholic, but I, um, was led to the Lord by my Baptist cousins. [00:02:00] And it was presented to me, and I chose. To accept that, I believed it to be true. It is not the belief system of my parents or my siblings, but I sincerely chose it for myself.

[00:02:16] I was not coerced into it. And, and I still have that faith in the Lord through thick and thin, through trauma and trials. So that is one of the questions that you have to answer for yourself. You have to go back and think, okay, is this a belief of my parents or is it my belief? Is this the belief of my husband or is it my belief?

[00:02:38] Do I sincerely believe this to be true? Now, some of you that have been listening for a long time, you know my husband and I have some differing beliefs. I won't get into that, but I stand very firmly in my beliefs, my doctrines,

Transript: Deconstruction Part Two

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer, songwriter, speaker, and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now, here is Diana.

[00:00:33] ​

[00:00:33] Diana: Welcome back folks to the Wounds of the Faithful podcast, we are continuing our study on deconstruction. Now, I'm not going to review any of it because It's a lot. It was a lot to go [00:01:00] through. I am going to just jump in to where we left off. Basically, deconstruction is when you've gone through trauma or abuse and you decide that you do not want to go to church anymore.

[00:01:20] Diana: You don't want to pray anymore. You don't want to read your Bible anymore. You don't want to be around Christians. You don't want anything to do with God or religion. And so we've been talking about that. I need you to listen to the first episode to continue on with this one, because you'll miss out on a lot of important things that we've talked about.

[00:01:46] Diana: And we're going to talk about some more stuff today. So I'm not going to get into any housekeeping for today. We're just going to jump right into our podcast. [00:02:00] Deconstruction. And then next week we're going to do reconstruction. How to build back up your faith after how to examine what you believe to reconstruct your faith and your belief system, probably a more healthy belief system than where you came from. So let's get on with the show. Let's jump in to our topic today.

[00:02:34] Diana: Where were we on my list? Okay,

View Details

We're talking about deconstruction, what it is and why survivors choose to go down that road. We discuss many reasons that people give for abandoning their faith or turning their backs on God altogether. We'll be exploring in a non judgmental, compassionate way, so join me for an encouraging episode. This is Part One of a Two Part series.

Deconstruction Part One

[00:00:00]

[00:00:33] Diana: hello everybody! Summer time and the living is easy. Not so easy here in Arizona. You may have heard on the news about the extreme heat, and yes, Arizona is one of them for two weeks now. Now it does get to 119 every year, [00:01:00] sometimes 120. Probably the highest ever, let's see when I was in high school it was 122 degrees, and that has not been the highest record. If you go to Death Valley or Lake Havasu we've got they get into 130 degrees.

[00:01:25] Diana: Staying inside in the air conditioning, going to the neighbor's pool. And I have to get up very early in the morning to do the yard work. So, speaking of yard work, we have what's called in Arizona, monsoon season. That's pretty much our tropical storm season. And you don't think that Arizona has humidity?

[00:01:51] Diana: This is when we have humidity. Is during our tropical storm season. And we just had a [00:02:00] huge storm on Wednesday and looking out the window it was like watching a hurricane. I kid you not, it was raining, the wind was so strong I wasn't sure about my trees. The next morning we had a couple power outages but the power came on when I was getting ready for work.

[00:02:24] Diana: Thankfully. And we had a bent flagpole in our front yard. I think that was the worst that we had. A lot of stuff was all over the backyard. We had to pick up. But we got off easy.

[00:02:42] Diana: My neighbor who I go swimming with. Who has fed me during my hospitalization, recovery. Her entire east wall is gone. And she isn't the only one. There's [00:03:00] countless people along the main road here that lost their back wall that faces the street. And there's some retention ponds also that have huge eucalyptus ...

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer, songwriter, speaker, and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now, here is Diana.

[00:00:33] Hey everybody, welcome back to the Wounds of the Faithful podcast. If we haven't met, my name is Diana and I am here to help you heal from domestic violence, abuse, and trauma. This is a safe place and we've been having some great guests lately. Amanda Blackwood last week, [00:01:00] she was amazing, wasn't she? We had some conversation after the recording stopped, and I had wished that we still were recording, because we just laughed and had so much fun and tal...

What do you think of when you hear the words "human trafficking"? Far away Asian countries? Young women? Kid knapping by strangers? Amanda Blackwood is my guest this week to dispel all these incorrect assumptions and define what trafficking really is. She also tells her harrowing story of being trafficked multiple times by people she knew, including her fiancée. Not to worry though, after her escapes, she shares how she healed from such horrible trauma and helps others to do the same. We actually laughed quite a bit while talking about such a dark topic! Join us for an inspirational and educational conversation.

Biography:

When Amanda finally managed to get away from the man who was trafficking her she was thirty-one years old and didn’t know what she’d gone through even had a name, much less how to deal with the pain of feeling like a broken person, unworthy of love and filled with so much anger. On a freezing cold day in 2018 she saw former trafficked people standing strong and showing their beautiful resiliency on a stage at an anti-trafficking event. At that moment she finally knew what her purpose in life would be.

Since then, Amanda has spoken on a multitude of stages, been interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, sold her art all over the country, been a keynote speaker at international summits, loaned her voice to multiple radio programs, and published over a dozen books. She launched two podcasts - one that focuses on interviewing other authors of trauma, and the other that discusses the long term consequences of trauma and how to fight back for a better life. She's a trauma recovery mentor, professional artist, accomplished public speaker, and a charity campaigns manager for MMA legend Frank Shamrock through ShamrockWay.org

Amanda lives in Denver, Colorado with her rescue cats and supportive husband who keep her sane.

[00:00:00] Hello, welcome. Come on in. The water is fine. It's a 110 degrees out here and I'm going swimming tomorrow. I just had my follow up visit with my surgeon for my foot and he says everything looks great and that I am cleared to go swimming.

[00:00:20] And so I'm going over to my neighbor's house Who has a pool. And so that's the exciting news for the week for me. The exciting news about the podcast is that we have a wonderful guest, Amanda Blackwood, and we are going to be talking about human trafficking. This is a very dark topic, so no kids in the room, obviously, but.

[00:00:50] If this is a topic that you're sensitive to prostitution and drug use, that sort of thing. You may [00:01:00] want to skip till next week,

[00:01:02] She is an amazing lady. I'm going to tell you a little more about her. Trafficking is something that I am very passionate about eliminating and helping people to heal from human trafficking. Mending the Soul, as you're familiar with, if you've been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you know that I'm involved with Mending the Soul groups.

[00:01:32] But we also have a Princess Lost, Princess Found, which is for sex trafficked victims. And the curriculum is amazing. That's why I invited... Amanda to come on the show and tell her story.

Deborah by Charles Landelle, 1901

Perhaps you came from a church background that recognized the valuable contributions of the women of the Bible, but for most Christians, they don't ever get to hear about prominent women in the Bible, with the exception of Mary. Deborah, one of the Judges of Israel, is an godly example of a prophetess, military leader, judge, and minstrel that few hear about. We are going to explore the wonderful attributes of Deborah, Barak, and another brave woman, Jael, who turns the tide of the war with King Jabin. Join me for this encouraging and uplifting study!

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast. Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now here is Diana.

[00:00:33] welcome back to the podcast. So glad that you're here. I know that you die hards that listen every week you might have noticed that I missed a week. Well, actually, I, I had it recorded. I just didn't edit it in time to get released on Wednesday. And the reason why is because it was my first week back at [00:01:00] work full time.

[00:01:02] And when I got home and sat on the couch and put my feet up, I was exhausted and I was actually dozing off on the couch. And so it was like that every day last week. And. So forgive me, I did not have the energy to edit the podcast in time. That's how it goes.

[00:01:23] Still recovering from my foot surgery. Today I have been doing some yard work with my regular sneakers on. I'm not wearing the orthopedic sandal that I was wearing for three weeks. I felt pretty good today, energy wise, and my foot was actually doing pretty well.

[00:01:46] It is 110 here, this week.

View Details

We are continuing our series of character studies in the Bible in the perspective of an abuse survivor. Today we are talking about a very difficult passage of Scripture: Judges 19, which is the story of the Levite and the concubine. Why is this horrific story included in the Bible? Why did they go to war with their own people? Did God condone these events? What practical application can we get out of this story? These questions and more will be answered. There is a trigger warning for this episode for sexual assault and kidnapping.

Judges 19

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast. Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now here is Diana.

[00:00:33] Hello everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. Thanks for joining me today. I hope that you guys got through last podcast about the I B L P and the review of Shiny Happy people and about the Duggars. It was a difficult, yet important [00:01:00] episode to do, and it was a bit triggering I'm sure for a lot of you who have been through something similar. But I hope that now that this documentary is out that. People will start to see the man behind the curtain, so to speak. We need exposure for these cult groups because otherwise nobody would leave, nobody would get any healing.

[00:01:28] And these men like Bill Gothard would be more powerful.

[00:01:35] So what are we gonna talk about today? We are going to go through Judges 19, and this is called the Benjamite War. And if you're not familiar with that, you may be familiar with the Levite that had a concubine. So this is one of these [00:02:00] stories that is, horrifying, and I almost didn't want to do this particular chapter because it's hard and it's gross. And it's like, well, what am I gonna say to this narrative,

View Details

We're talking about the latest hot topic, the documentary Shiny Happy People. It exposes the Duggar secrets and the Bill Gothard's fundamentalist cult, the IBLP. What do they believe? What did Josh Duggar go to prison for? What's it like growing up on a reality show? How do you heal from such a religious cult? All these answers and more on our episode today. This week has sensitive content about rape and child abuse, which could trigger some listeners.

She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now here is Diana.

[00:00:33] Welcome back to the podcast. Glad I didn't scare any of you away with last week's episode on Abraham and Isaac. Tough content. I know. Now, this week I am going to do a review on Shiny Happy people. The documentary, I don't usually talk about hot topics on [00:01:00] this show, but it's all over social media and my advocacy groups, and people want to talk about this documentary.

[00:01:10] It actually hits close to home for me, so we're gonna talk about it. There's a lot to cover with this particular cult, but before we start though, I'm gonna give you an update on adventures in foot surgery. My cast comes off tomorrow. I am excited about that. Two weeks with this thing on and being on bedrest.

[00:01:43] Um, the majority of the time. I'm ready to get out of the house. I think I get a walking boot next, and I start physical therapy next week. Learning to walk with my toe surgery, I [00:02:00] learned a lot this time On the first surgery, uh, they gave me a walker to get around since it is a non-weight-bearing surgery, which means my foot cannot touch the ground.

We are discussing the story of Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac on this week's show. Is there another perspective on this difficult narrative? Is Abraham a horrible parent? Why would God ask them to do this? These questions and more we will explore, with a few alternative views presented. Be brave and join me on some challenging passages in the Bible.

Abraham Isaac transcript

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast. Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now here is Diana.

[00:00:33] Hello everybody. I'm coming to you live from the Winkler couch with my foot propped up on lots of pillows. Now I am not gonna show you the picture, my boot, you've all seen a boot before.

[00:00:51] But maybe later I can show you my scar when it gets, more healed up and I can take the boot off and wear regular shoes. [00:01:00] So, as you probably can gather that my foot surgery went well, very successful.

[00:01:10] I don't have any pain with some Advil and Tylenol. Overall. Everything went great. So I am still here to do a podcast episode with you.

[00:01:23] I'm bored anyway out of my mind, so

[00:01:29] why not, right? I can sleep, I can watch tv, surf Facebook, but. I'm gonna do a podcast episode for you, and I mentioned last week that we were going to do Abraham and Isaac, Abraham sacrificing Isaac, and I mentioned last week that I almost didn't do this one because it's difficult. It's not.

[00:01:58] It's not an easy study[00:02:00] because the majority of our society tends to think that this is child abuse. We're going to talk about that, but as always, God is recording things as they happen. And there are always lessons to be learned even in the difficult Bible passages. Even the ones we don't understand a hundred percent.

We are continuing our character studies in the Bible in the perspective of an abuse survivor. We are covering this week, patriarchs Abraham and Lot. We explore such questions such as: Abraham's treatment of his wife Sarah, Lot offering up his virgin daughters to an angry mob, an example of female sexual abuse in the Bible, and the timeless question: Is God loving and merciful in the Old Testament?Link TreeWebsite: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

What's up? Come on in. Coming to you from Winkler Living Room. I have successfully completed my first surgery this past week. It went really well. Better than I anticipated. Everybody was wonderful at the hospital and I have no pain or, [00:01:00] um, postprocedure bleeding.[00:01:02] And so I was very happy about that. And I do have another surgery coming up on Tuesday. Tuesday will be doing surgery on my right foot.[00:01:13] And then when that's healed up, most likely the end of July, we'll be doing my left foot. And[00:01:21] so I will be on bedrest for two weeks starting on Tuesday. I have spent the last week or so trying to get all of the garden and the yard done. So Brian doesn't have much to do. I do have a neighbor who's a master gardener, and she's gonna come in and check things to make sure that nothing's dying out there.[00:01:46] Brian will be watering. You can do the watering without any problems. And, uh, my neighbor's also bringing us some food, some leftovers. So Brian does not have to cook every night or [00:02:00] they'll just make breakfast in the morning and, uh, we'll have something to reheat at night. That's a big blessing. And my Bible study group, they gave me some gift cards to Uber Eats and a pizza joint nearby, and that's a blessing.[00:02:17] Super big treat. I think my parents will be over to visit with some food as well, and so I am ready to go. Ready to get back into exercise, get back into being without pain.[00:02:30] So anyway, I will have a podcast episode next week from my living room or the bedroom.

We worked on it three hours today. Jet Pack gave me a backup of my site and somehow it didn't work. We tried everything, and so we're gonna have to ask Ionas and Jet Pack for help. I don't know. I don't know what else there is to do, but I am recording my episodes and I'm able to put them on the podcast platforms.[00:01:40] Although you will notice that, for instance, if you go on Apple Podcasts, it only shows two episodes, whereas this is the hundred and 34th episode, it erased all of my previous episodes.

What would you do if your family sold you into slavery just for being jealous of you? That is what happened to Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob. Follow Joseph as he is also put into prison for false charges, forgotten, and how his gifts of dream interpretation dramatically change his life one day. Through his abuses, we explore his faith in God and enduring hope.

Welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much for supporting me. It's been a crazy few weeks, let me tell you. But first I wanted to mention new YouTube subscriber, Pat Warren has subscribed. Thank you so much, Pat. Welcome. I hope you get a blessing from the episodes. And so I do a little housekeeping today as I have the last few weeks.I have transitioned from the old web hosting to the new one, but not to get too technical, but the backup for my site from my old host was incomplete. And so was not able to transfer over. So basically, I am having to start over. Now, I had some pages of my website saved, but the, the blog, the podcast page, my store, my music page, they're gone.I have to input everything back in there, all over again. Uh, today I finished resetting up the podcast feed. Uh, so it's been a bit of a nightmare. I was really frustrated and discouraged yesterday. My wood master, who was awesome, Etana Holowinko from Jazz Society, she's been helping me.And this is what she said. I wish that I could wave a magic wand and fix everything, but I can't. Uh, it is unfortunate that I lost all the data, but I do have some of the pages. I do have my, all my podcasts are all saved on my computer. My music saved on the computer. Just gonna take some time to put everything on there.So when you go to my website, you will see my site is under construction, so that's what that is. But you will be able to, view all of the podcasts on the YouTube channel. Hasn't affected that. I do have last week's podcast on the audio feeds, it just shows that I don't have any previous podcasts, so it's kinda weird until I add them all back in...

We are continuing our stories in the bible about people who have suffered abuse and trauma. We are looking into the Jacob's background and the violation of his daughter Dinah by one of the neighboring Hivite men. How did her family respond? Did they believe and protect her? Was the way that Dinah's brothers handled the situation sanctioned by God or not? We also find out why you should keep your word and honor your commitments. This story shows how God will use even flawed people to further his kingdom.Website: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

Welcome. Come on in. How are you doing today? I hope that you enjoyed the study of Jeremiah last week. I know it was a lot to take in. There's a lot about Jeremiah to learn. You just did an overview last week. So many nuggets to chew on. So I hope that you learned something. I hope that encouraged you to read Jeremiah for yourself and learn some additional things.[00:00:34] Now, this week I was doing some Bible reading in Genesis, and I happen to notice that the story before was the story about Dinah one of Jacob's daughters. And so I read it and I decided that I would do that lesson this week because it's short [00:01:00] and to the point. And so that's what we're gonna talk about today's, Dinah story.[00:01:07] And I, you might have noticed that my podcast has been posting little bit late. I already mentioned that I had problems with my web hosting and I'm in the process of changing to a new web host. I'm still having trouble with transferring, but I was two weeks late getting out episodes. This week it was just a matter of exhaustion.[00:01:36] Working 10 hour days now and coming home and trying to edit the podcast and get it posted on time, and I was just so tired. I was falling asleep on the couch. My husband's poking me. It's. 9: 30, 10 o'clock at night. And up until, you know, the [00:02:00] last couple weeks, I haven't had any problems posting on time, but I just wanna let you know I'm not going anywhere.[00:02:07] Nothing is wrong, it's just technical difficulties. And then I'm just tired. Uh,

Most people can recite Jeremiah 29:11, but what does the rest of the book of Jeremiah have to offer us today? Why was Jeremiah called The Weeping Prophet? Well, you are going to find out on this week's episode. Jeremiah has lots of reasons to weep during his days of warning the Israelites of the coming judgement of God for worshipping false gods. He has the hardest job in the world, preaching to those who hated him, abused him, tried to kill him, isolated him, and ignored his warnings. Jeremiah loves his people and faithfully answers God's call, yet he had his own personal struggles and mental health challenges. You will see this mighty prophet in a different light while you gain a brief overview of the book of Jeremiah.

So thank you, Jonathan. I appreciate that. Somebody's actually seeing my posts. I just never know. Speaking of posts, you've probably seen the big fiasco with the Dalai Lama. I don't even know what to say to that.[00:01:17] This whole, you wanna suck my tongue. Saying that to a child is unacceptable.[00:01:23] And I, I think a lot of you agree with that. He should never have said that to a child.[00:01:29] Not surprised, but still appalled anyway. And we need to teach our children the good touch and the bad touch and what's appropriate interaction between adults and children.

Bio:Summarized, my story begins from adolescence. I chose to consume alcohol; what was always in my home life. Instantly I decided this would be what I espoused because it gave me confidence and helped with being able to interact. It supported many things, although it increased very fast with tolerance and soon indulging into several drugs. For so many years I aimed at finding "functional" addict", but never came close. Rock bottom was never the end. There was always another bottom that was lower and harder to hit; proving it wouldn't never stop until I died. Overuse of the word Grace is impossible for me because it is the very means that I was granted to see and tangibly experience and believe in real freedom.   God allows me to remember from where he's brought me and oh  am I ever filled with gratitude. And I want to start from the bottom to walk with hurting addicted Men who also want to find freedom. I have created "Breaking Bondage from Addiction.com, to serve others of whom I was for years too long. Numerous unknown times, either by personal choice or usually by court mandate; I went through secular programs to overcome addiction, never once with peace, freedom, or success. Finally with Grace that could never be measured, I encountered a reality that I am forgivable, no matter the infinite chances I'd been given. God really loves us equally as much no matter what we've done to know how big shame can be. Shame has no place with a contrite heart and when one becomes ready to let God have control. https://www.breakingbondagefromaddict... This is my website for adult Men to join my community and find bondage breaking hope from addiction, using my journey of success with a biblical foundation.

We all know that Jesus suffered and died for us on the cross, but have you ever considered that Jesus can relate to those of us who are abuse survivors? We are exploring a different perspective of the life and death of Jesus-That he was an abuse survivor Himself. I talk about his birth, his ministry, his array of human emotions, the loss of loved ones, the religious leaders trying to destroy Him, his illegal trial, and being abandoned and betrayed by those closest to Him. Find out how Romans made crucifixion as humiliating and painful as possible. You will find that Jesus experienced many of the same sufferings that we have.Link TreeWebsite: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

I am recording this during Easter weekend, we just came from our Good Friday activity, which was stations of the cross. it's not the same as the Catholic stations of the cross. It's more of an interpretation. They use art, different [00:01:00] expressions of artistic forms, different mediums, and you go through the eight stations and there's bible verses.[00:01:11] There's prayers and different things to think about. Sometimes there's music or sound effects. And every year it's different. It's really a great way to get into that meditative state where we're thinking about what God has done for us. And a celebration on Sunday, resurrection Sunday when he rose from the dead.[00:01:44] I'm gonna try and put[00:01:47] the pictures that I took on my Facebook page, DSW Ministries. So if you wanna look at those, you can. I'm not the greatest photographer. I just took them with my [00:02:00] phone. But hope that you enjoy those.

We are continuing our stories in the bible about people who have suffered abuse and trauma. We are looking into the Jacob’s background and the violation of his daughter Dinah by one of the neighboring Hivite men. How did her family respond? Did they believe and protect her? Was the way that Dinah’s brothers handled the situation sanctioned by God or not? We also find out why you should keep your word and honor your commitments. This story shows how God will use even flawed people to further his kingdom.

Dinah

[00:00:00] Hi friends. Welcome. Come on in. How are you doing today? I hope that you enjoyed the study of Jeremiah last week. I know it was a lot to take in. There’s a lot about Jeremiah to learn. You just did an overview last week. So many nuggets to chew on. So I hope that you learned something. I hope that encouraged you to read Jeremiah for yourself and learn some additional things.[00:00:34] Now, this week I was doing some Bible reading in Genesis, and I happen to notice that the story before was the story about Dinah one of Jacob’s daughters. And so I read it and I decided that I would do that lesson this week because it’s short [00:01:00] and to the point. And so that’s what we’re gonna talk about today’s, Dinah story.[00:01:07] And I, you might have noticed that my podcast has been posting little bit late. I already mentioned that I had problems with my web hosting and I’m in the process of changing to a new web host. I’m still having trouble with transferring, but I was two weeks late getting out episodes. This week it was just a matter of exhaustion.[00:01:36] Working 10 hour days now and coming home and trying to edit the podcast and get it posted on time, and I was just so tired. I was falling asleep on the couch. My husband’s poking me. It’s. 9: 30, 10 o’clock at night. And up until, you know, the [00:02:00] last couple weeks, I haven’t had any problems posting on time, but I just wanna let you know I’m not going anywhere.[00:02:07] Nothing is wrong, it’s just technical difficulties. And then I’m just tired. Uh, you probably had those days yourself where you’re tired and well, whatever I had left to do today is just going to have to wait until tomorrow. I don’t have it in me anymore today. So I am here for you right now.[00:02:32] I wanted to give a little background of the story today in case you were not familiar[00:02:39] with Jacob and the sons of Jacob who are going to be featured today. So we are going to talk about Jacob’s sons and his daughter Diana. And if you’re not familiar with the 12 tribes, let me just quickly tell you the [00:03:00] breakdown of these sons of Jacob. So the genealogy goes like this. You have[00:03:06] Abraham and Sarah to start. And then Abraham has two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac had Jacob and then Jacob has 12 sons. And a daughter and the 12 sons become the 12 tribes of Israel. Jacob’s, 12 sons in Genesis 35, 22 through 26. Leia was the mother of Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulon, and also the mother of Dinah. Rachel is the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. We are going to do a study on Joseph here soon. I’m gonna do probably a two-parter [00:04:00] on Joseph because he’s my favorite Bible character next to Jesus, and there’s a lot of great stuff in his story.[00:04:10] Let’s see. Zilpah gave birth to Gad and Asher. Bilhah was mother of Dan, and Naphtali. So those are the 12 tribes, and I won’t get into it any further because[00:04:28] there’s the sons of the 12 tribes. So like Joseph for instance. Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraiam, who were also leaders of tribes. And so I won’t go into that any further cuz then we get into the weeds of other stuff that we might get into with Joseph’s story, but for now, I’m just gonna leave the background there, just so you know who this family is and who we’re talking [00:05:00] about here, we’re going to be in Genesis 34.[00:05:06] I wanted to read a little bit about Jacob coming to the city, Schekem. This is just set up for the event that is about to happen, and I’m in chapter 33 of Genesis in verse 18, and Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram.[00:05:31] And he camped before the city and from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, he bought for a hundred pieces of money, a piece of land on which he had pitched his tent there. He erected an altar and called it So, Jacob bought a piece of the land from the [00:06:00] inhabitants of Canaan, which they are not believers as we’re gonna get into here shortly. They are surrounded by these different people groups, and they do not all follow the values of.[00:06:18] Jacob and his family, not believers in the God of Abraham. So let’s go to chapter 34, and I will say this, the Bible stories don’t always have a super happy ending, but there are lessons that we can learn, some truths that we can notice in here about the character of people, the character of God.[00:06:49] But this particular story is not super graphic. It is talking about the rape of Dinah, but it doesn’t say any [00:07:00] description. So just giving you a heads up. So let’s read in chapter 34, verse one.[00:07:08] Now, Dinah, the daughter of Leia, whom she had born to Jacob, went out to see the women of the land.[00:07:16] And when Shechem, the son of Hamor, the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humiliated her. So I’m going to stop there. There are some contrary words that are coming up in this chapter. So Dinah was just taking a look around at all the native Canaanites that lived around them.[00:07:41] She was looking at the women from afar to see, well, you know, probably how do they wear their hair? What kind of clothes they wear, what do they do all day? Are they beautiful? I don’t know. It’s just speculation. What was [00:08:00] she observing with the neighbors, right?[00:08:04] So she’s pretty much checking out the neighbors and this guy, Shechem, who is Hivite.[00:08:12] Let’s see who are the Hivites? We do know that the Hivites are not believers according to the passage. Their descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. So if you remember the story in Genesis, the flood, Ham was one of Noah’s sons, and so these are descendants of Ham.[00:08:40] But we don’t know a whole lot about them,[00:08:43] but we do know that the name means tent dweller.[00:08:48] Okay, let’s keep going here. So he humiliated her and laid with her in verse two. I mean, he seized her, humiliated her. Obviously this [00:09:00] was by force. This was not consensual. This was, rape.[00:09:05] But then in verse three, it’s kind of confusing. And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her, though Shechem spoke to his father Hamor saying, get me this girl for my wife. And I’m going to venture to say that this love that he had was most likely lust.[00:09:30] she may have been very beautiful and decided that he wanted her, but this is not how we go about marriage. And Jacob saying verses five. Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah. Did he use that word, defiled?[00:09:48] But his sons were with his livestock in the field. So Jacob held his peace until they came. So it sounds like Jacob depended on his sons to [00:10:00] take care of business and family dealings. I don’t recall how old Jacob is at this point, but it sounds like his sons took care of a lot of the family business at this point.[00:10:14] Verse six, and Hamor, the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of him, and the men were indignant and very angry. Because he had done this outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter. For such a thing must not be done.[00:10:39] They said they are making a very big distinction here that what Shechem did was wrong. You do not treat Dinah that way. They are very angry. You don’t just take a woman and play with her, not, not a [00:11:00] daughter of Jacob.[00:11:01] So the way that things were done, in biblical time, they tried to protect the women. The women were married to those within the family, those within the Jewish community, they would not allow unbelievers, the foreign nations or the unbelieving nations to marry their sons or daughters.[00:11:26] That was not allowed. That was for the protection of. Their tribes or their people to only marry those that were believers in the true God. They were not allowing marriages with the surrounding nations, and that’s one to protect your daughter, it’s two, to protect the family from. [00:12:00] Outside influences and bringing their guys into the family that they were worshiping, but were false guys.[00:12:11] We talked a lot about that last week with, and then also your tribe that you are part of the family unit you were a part of. You had a certain amount of wealth. And that wealth was passed onto, you know, the sons and daughters. It was not, they did not want their family wealth given to an believer. Some outsider, it is not part of the Jewish families.[00:12:45] I mean, it seemed very strange to us. We don’t have that culture. We arranged, the marriages were arranged. That is how marriages were done, and there was the, the bride price [00:13:00] for the family she was to move in with, and it was considerable bride price because the father and the mother, they were going to be losing a daughter, a part of the family who contributed to the family either cooking and cleaning and taking care of livestock or.[00:13:24] Whatever. It takes a family to survive and by having the bride price, that would help the family to survive because the daughter was leaving their family and going to another family nearby, most likely nearby. So anyway, that is the background of what marriages, how marriages were arranged. [00:14:00] So let’s go to verse eight.[00:14:04] But Haymore spoke with them saying, the soul of my son, Shaham, launched for your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife. Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us. Take our daughters for yourselves. You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you, dwell and trade in it and get property in.[00:14:37] So they’re trying to tempt Jacob and his sons. Hey, you know, you can partner with us and you can have all of the things we can share with you, the land and and our daughters and our sons, and that’s tempting offer. [00:15:00] When you are, you are surrounded by other nations and people, groups, they’re not similar to your own.[00:15:08] That sounds kinda tempting to me. That sounds like a good feel. Let’s read, read on in verse 11. Cze also said to her father and to her brothers, let me find, let me find favor in your eyes in whatever you say to me. I will give, ask me for as great a bride and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say.[00:15:43] To me only give me the young woman to be my wife. So he’s laying it on thick and he is offering a very large bride price. Pretty much name your price [00:16:00] tool. You tell me what you want for Dyna and I will give it to you on top of. You know, getting property and land and having an alliance with the hibis, but it doesn’t go over well.[00:16:24] Verse 13, the sons of Jacob answered shek and his father heor Deceitfully because he had defiled their sister Diana. They said to them, We cannot do this thing to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised for, that would be a disgrace to us. So if you’re not familiar with UN, with circumcision,[00:16:58] the Jews would [00:17:00] circumcised removal of those four skin, and that was a sign that you were. A Jew and you were under the covenant of the God of Abraham. So it’s pretty much like, okay, you go and get baptized after you’ve received Christ, you go and get baptized. That’s a sign that you are committed to Christ, that you have made that decision to follow him.[00:17:30] Circumcision was the same thing. You are a part. Of this community, this faith community, and the unbelieving nations did not circumcise. Um, they would call the Philistines uncircumcised Philistine cuz they were, they were even nation. So let’s move on.[00:18:00][00:18:03] Verse 15, only on this condition will we agree with you that you’ll become as we are by every male among you being circumcised, then we will give you our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves and we will dwell with you and become one people. But if you will not listen to us in circumcision, But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and we will be gone.[00:18:36] So I think that there’s a little bit of putting that out there to get circumcised because everyone in their, in their community, every male would’ve had to be circumcised and. You know, she can’t really speak for the rest of his people because, [00:19:00] you know, this is cutting the foreskin of the penis, which is quite painful as an adult.[00:19:08] And maybe the sons of Jacob thought that, oh, they’re not gonna do this. They’re not gonna agree to all get circumcised. That’s probably, um, they’re probably just gonna. Leave and move on with their life without leaving, without dying. So let’s see what happens. Verse 18, their words pleased, Tamar and son and the young man did not delay to do the thing because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter.[00:19:46] Now he was the most honored of all his fathers across. When his son, she came to the gate of the city and spoke to the men of their city saying, these men are at [00:20:00] peace with us. Let us dwell. Let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For behold the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as lives and let us give them our daughters.[00:20:14] Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us to become one people. When every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised, verse 23 will not their livestock, their property, and all their beast. The obs only let us agree with them and they will dwell with us. So, as I was saying, if they’re intermarrying, then the wealth is spread between the law.[00:20:51] And they knew that they wanted the wealth of Jacob and her sons. [00:21:00] So they’re trying to talk these men in the city to do the circumcision though. Verse 24 and all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Haymore and his son check him, and every male was circumcised. All who went out of the gate of this, of his city.[00:21:27] So they all went and got circumcised[00:21:34] and so on verse 25, it says on the third day when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob Simeon and Levi Dina’s brothers. Took their swords and came against the city while it felt secure and killed all of the males. They killed Haymore and his son. She [00:22:00] with the sword and took Diana out of she’s house and went away.[00:22:08] The sons of Jacob came upon the sled and plundered the city because they had defiled their sister. They took their flocks and their herds, their donkeys and whatever was in the city and in the field. All of their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses they captured and plundered.[00:22:31] So[00:22:35] this is not the way to go about it. I don’t agree with the killing of all the males. Because I think that’s a bit extreme. Don’t you think they should not have agreed to that they should not have agreed to let [00:23:00] Shaham Mary Diner if they were all to get circumcised? Because you are making a, a. You’re making a promise to somebody.[00:23:12] This is a transaction. Marriages were transactional and taken very seriously.[00:23:24] But it sounds like the sons, they didn’t care if they got circumcised or not. They were still in their hearts. They were going to be, they were gonna be heathens, they were going to worship. Other gods. They weren’t real Jews. That’s what I am thinking. Went through their heads because why would you say, okay, you go and get circumcised, then we can intermarry when they were not in agreement.[00:24:00][00:24:00] Again, I think that they put this really severe. Condition on this arrangement, and I don’t think they thought that they were going to agree to it to begin with. So now that they went and everybody got circumcised, now okay, what are we going to do? I really don’t want these people to be my brother-in-law.[00:24:29] I don’t want them taking our wells, or I don’t wanna share my wealth with them.[00:24:42] And most of all, they, they defiled our sister, and we may not agree with the way that they did this, that they went and killed all of the men and then took everything that they owned, but they were defending their [00:25:00] sister. That’s kind of how. That’s probably how they see it. We were defending the honor of our sister.[00:25:14] What you did was wrong and you’re gonna pay for it. Um, and God was not behind this. This was not a commandment of God because[00:25:29] God says that vengeance is mine. Mind, say it the Lord. So let’s see what Jacob says about all of this. Verse 30. Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, you have brought trouble on me by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land. The Ken nights in the parasites. My numbers are [00:26:00] few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed Both I and my household.[00:26:10] Verse 31, but they said, should he treat our sister like a prostitute[00:26:20] again, Jacob Simian and Levi, they, they have a good point there, but Jacobs. Saying we have to live around these people. When you say you’re going to do something and you make an agreement with another nation or tribe, you have to follow through with that. You have to do what you say you’re going to do in these covenants or these agreements.[00:26:54] Because you get the reputation that you can’t be trusted, that your word [00:27:00] could not be trusted. They’re surrounded by all of these different people groups, and they’re going to hear that Jacob’s sons slaughtered the HIEs, and so Jacob is afraid that. All these other nations are gonna come and attack us.[00:27:25] This was before the Israelites were, were large in number. Their numbers are still very small. They’re just starting out. They just bought the pizza of land and so. He wants to at least have peace among his neighbors that they’re not gonna get, um, attacked or killed. [00:28:00] Even if you’re not, you don’t have the same belief system, you don’t have the same lifestyle.[00:28:07] You still have to get along in a professional sense, just like in our world. You still have to go to work and you have to, um, you have to live or you have to work peaceably with your coworkers or your business. The people you do business with in the world you may not agree with maybe their politics or their religion or whatever.[00:28:39] Or the kind of cologne they wear, or the music they listen to, but you have to have some sort of getting along, putting aside your, your differences in order to be peaceable with each other and get the job done.[00:28:59] [00:29:00] I mean, I am very glad that they took Diana’s. Very seriously. They recognized that she was violated, they treated her like a valued member of the family. They were trying to protect her and it’s, I wish that they had some dialogue for Diana here. There’s no dialogue at all, so we could hear, you know, her thoughts.[00:29:33] Her experience, it doesn’t talk about it at all,[00:29:44] but we do know that her family treated her very well and stuck up for her, believed her. And so there are examples of that in scripture. [00:30:00] We’ve talked about a lot of. Stories where family members were violated and nobody did anything. You know, we did a story of Tamar and Beth Shiba and we talked about those things.[00:30:17] So I think it was good to see a story where the victims are believed and supported. Again, we don’t agree with slaughtering your enemies. That is probably not what God wanted. Um, but that’s what happened. And the Bible doesn’t sugarcoat things. The Bible reports the events as they happen. Good or bad, good, bad, and the ugly.[00:30:56] So what else does Jacob say?[00:31:00][00:31:11] So kind of the end of the story[00:31:18] that we’re gonna end with is about.[00:31:23] Jacob going and making an altar to the Lord Sore. In chapter 35 verse one, God said that Jacob arise, go up to Bethel and Toal there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Isau. So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with them, Into all who were with him.[00:31:53] Put away the foreign gods that are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments. Then [00:32:00] let us arise and go up to Bethel so that I may make there an altar to God who answers me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone. So they gave Jake. So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gauze that they had and the rings that were in their ears.[00:32:22] Jacob hid them under the terra tree that was near Shaham,[00:32:30] verse five. And as they journeyed a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them so that the date, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. And Jacob came to lose. That is Bethel, which is in Land of Canaan. He and all the people who were with him and there he built an altar and called the place Al Bethel because there God had [00:33:00] revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother and Deborah, Rebecca’s nurse died and she was buried under an oak below Bethel.[00:33:11] So he called its name, Ilan Baku.[00:33:25] So[00:33:31] verse nine, God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Aana Ram and blessed him. And God said to him, your name is Jacob. No longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name. So he called his name Israel and God said to him, I am God almighty. Be fruitful and multiply a nation and a company of nations shall come from [00:34:00] you, and King shall come from your own body.[00:34:04] The land that I give to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you. And I will give you the land and I will give the land to your offspring after you. Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him and Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.[00:34:32] So Jacob named, So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.[00:34:46] So that is where I will stop because it goes into,[00:34:53] um, people talks about people’s deaths. So, but you can [00:35:00] read further on if you want. Let’s talk about the altar. So trying to clean up this mess with the nations around them is to go and build an altar to the Lord, and the Lord will protect them from any attacks from the other nations.[00:35:29] But it sounds like the. The Jewish community, this, which was very small at the time, seemed to have some trinkets from foreign gods, so it had already filtered into their families that because they were surrounded by unbelievers that they were influencing. [00:36:00] They were very influential on them. So, because if you worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, uh, you would not, you would not have all these little trinkets.[00:36:17] You wouldn’t have, um, little tiki dolls and little, um, little dolls. For statues of foreign gods and the rings in their ears. So they had to give all of those up so that Jacob could, um, worship before God and create an altar to God. And it does mention his brother Esau. That is the story before this one.[00:36:55] You can read that. Um, that’s kind of [00:37:00] eye-opening too. Um, I won’t get into that because there isn’t really related to any trauma or abuse in that story, but it’s still some things in there you might want to know anyway. And so the story ends with. Jacob’s name is changed to Israel and God is promising a mighty nation coming from coming from Jacob’s family, and there’s going to be kings.[00:37:40] There’s going to be land,[00:37:49] and you can visit Bethel today. And you see the place where Jacob created the altar. [00:38:00] Anyway, I already did the,[00:38:06] I already did the takeaways for this lesson today,[00:38:17] but I do wanna mention as we. Study some of these people of the patriarch era, that these are flawed individuals, they’re human beings. I’ve heard so many, I’ve heard so many sermons about these famous stories in the Bible, and they’re all whitewashed to not focus on any of their flaws. Or that they, they sin and they have to repent.[00:38:56] They have to turn away from their sin, their [00:39:00] foreign gods, and,[00:39:05] and follow the true God. So you’re going to see that when you read Genesis, that these guys do some horrible things. As we just read when we read in past lessons,[00:39:28] but even when we mess up and we have gone down the wrong path, God still chooses to use us for his glory. God still forgives us. We are still part of his family.[00:39:46] Our salvation is based on our faith in God. And so all through the Old Testament, if you are looking for it, you can see God’s [00:40:00] grace and mercy and patience to the people of Israel, to the Jewish community. And so that gives us some hope because we’re not perfect. I am certainly, I am certainly not perfect.[00:40:22] I am the first one to tell you that I have made, made something really terrible mistakes. Now I’ve never slaughtered anybody. I’ve never killed anyone. Or, um, I think the most I’ve stolen is probably a candy bar. But, um, You know, or anyway,[00:40:47] when we go down the wrong path, we fall away from gone. He’s always there waiting for us to come back to him, come back to the fold. He will wait [00:41:00] for you. So there is no sin that you. I’ve done that. God cannot forgive. I do want to say that today. And[00:41:16] so not exactly I feel good story for today, but it’s still has some lessons, some things that we learn about these folks. We’re gonna learn some more things. Um, I’m gonna start working on Joseph, maybe some shorter stories in between there. Like this one. I do have a guest that is coming, um,[00:41:50] let me see. He is coming. Okay, so May 20th. I’m going to interview, um, Scott Distler and, and. [00:42:00] He is gonna be talking about the cave, which is pretty much depression. He is a pastor and he talks about the, the depression and just hitting a wall in church ministry. And I have experienced that and some of my other guests, like Pastor has experienced.[00:42:29] Some really horrible treatment from, um, other churches, his, his own church, and subsequent churches. After that, a lot of persecution. So Scott’s going to talk about his book that chronicles his journey of going into the cave of despair and is it going to talk about Elijah the prophet that. Also [00:43:00] went into a cave who had, just like Jeremiah had some real struggles with mental health because they didn’t have Prozac, they didn’t have mental health services.[00:43:14] So he’s going to go over the story of Elijah and him going into the cave of despair and then coming out of that and Scott Disk. Also talks about how he got out of the cave, he is in ministry now and how he got back into ministry. So I won’t even have to study a lie, Jeff, for you, cuz you’re gonna hear from Scott and, um, halfway through his book and it’s awesome.[00:43:49] Very easy to read. I will, um, promote it here. I may give away a copy of the book to those of you who are interested. [00:44:00] That might be a little fun, but I think you’re gonna enjoy this guest. So he will be interviewed on the 20th, so his recording will be posted on the 24th of May. So maybe read some of, um, some of the, This story of Elijah to get familiar with it.[00:44:27] Let’s see. That is in.[00:44:47] So you can see, um, that story in One Kings 18 and Elijah’s got some really great stories. The story of [00:45:00] he may be, uh, You may know him with the prophets of bail, where they had the fire from heaven consume the sacrifice in front of these bail priests. Um, read Dad’s story. That’s a really exciting story.[00:45:19] I’ve been to Mount Carmel where the, um, where it took place. You have a statue there of oi Judd’s. Pretty cool. Um, and they have a church run by a bunch of, um, CARite nuns. And so you can kinda visualize the event that happened there and all kinds of other, um, events happen to Elijah that, uh, Scott is probably gonna go over and if he doesn’t, I’ll go over.[00:45:56] So that’s what we have coming up in the future. [00:46:00] Um,[00:46:08] so we’ll see if I get finished my study on Joseph in order to do it for next week. If not, I will pick a different, I will pick a different Bible character for you, but, um, it’s encouraging you today to get into God’s word. Hide it in your heart. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. You’re not gonna understand everything that you read.[00:46:38] That’s okay. And I’m trying to encourage you to, if you’ve stepped away from God or you’ve been mad at God, you don’t understand why you went through the things you did. Don’t turn away, turn back [00:47:00] towards the Lord and get into his word with new, fresh eyes. I’m going to help you and there are people out there that will help you, and it doesn’t mean you’re not going to have those bad days, but God promises to always be with you to comfort you.[00:47:26] People misunderstand that God is there to take away the take away the the bad things that happen to us. God doesn’t promise that we live in a sinful world and bad things are going to happen to us because we’re breathing whether you’re a Christian or not. Whether you are an. Whether you are a believer or not.[00:47:55] If you are, you’ve got a heartbeat and you’re breathing, living [00:48:00] on this planet, you are going to have hard times the horrible times. What God does promise is that he will be there with you. Something good will come out of this. God will, um, God will comfort you and be there for you. So trust in that today.[00:48:24] Those are the thoughts. I’m leaving with you and so I hope that you are here next week. Uh, reach out to me if you need anything. Um, my email, social media, um, reach out to me. I’ll be glad to help you. So God bless you or. God bless you, and we’ll see you next week.

Most people can recite Jeremiah 29:11, but what does the rest of the book of Jeremiah have to offer us today? Why was Jeremiah called The Weeping Prophet? Well, you are going to find out on this week's episode. Jeremiah has lots of reasons to weep during his days of warning the Israelites of the coming judgement of God for worshipping false gods. He has the hardest job in the world, preaching to those who hated him, abused him, tried to kill him, isolated him, and ignored his warnings. Jeremiah loves his people and faithfully answers God's call, yet he had his own personal struggles and mental health challenges. You will see this mighty prophet in a different light while you gain a brief overview of the book of Jeremiah.

So thank you, Jonathan. I appreciate that. Somebody's actually seeing my posts. I just never know. Speaking of posts, you've probably seen the big fiasco with the Dalai Lama. I don't even know what to say to that.[00:01:17] This whole, you wanna suck my tongue. Saying that to a child is unacceptable.[00:01:23] And I, I think a lot of you agree with that. He should never have said that to a child.[00:01:29] Not surprised, but still appalled anyway. And we need to teach our children the good touch and the bad touch and what's appropriate interaction between adults and children.

Doug Sweeney's Biography:Summarized, my story begins from adolescence. I chose to consume alcohol; what was always in my home life. Instantly I decided this would be what I espoused because it gave me confidence and helped with being able to interact. It supported many things, although it increased very fast with tolerance and soon indulging into several drugs. For so many years I aimed at finding "functional" addict", but never came close. Rock bottom was never the end. There was always another bottom that was lower and harder to hit; proving it wouldn't never stop until I died.Overuse of the word Grace is impossible for me because it is the very means that I was granted to see and tangibly experience and believe in real freedom.  God allows me to remember from where he's brought me and oh  am I ever filled with gratitude. And I want to start from the bottom to walk with hurting addicted Men who also want to find freedom.I have created "Breaking Bondage from Addiction.com, to serve others of whom I was for years too long. Numerous unknown times, either by personal choice or usually by court mandate; I went through secular programs to overcome addiction, never once with peace, freedom, or success. Finally with Grace that could never be measured, I encountered a reality that I am forgivable, no matter the infinite chances I'd been given.God really loves us equally as much no matter what we've done to know how big shame can be. Shame has no place with a contrite heart and when one becomes ready to let God have control.https://www.breakingbondagefromaddiction.com/This is my website for adult Men to join my community and find bondage breaking hope from addiction, using my journey of success with a biblical foundation.Website: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

We all know that Jesus suffered and died for us on the cross, but have you ever considered that Jesus can relate to those of us who are abuse survivors? We are exploring a different perspective of the life and death of Jesus-That he was an abuse survivor Himself. I talk about his birth, his ministry, his array of human emotions, the loss of loved ones, the religious leaders trying to destroy Him, his illegal trial, and being abandoned and betrayed by those closest to Him. Find out how Romans made crucifixion as humiliating and painful as possible. You will find that Jesus experienced many of the same sufferings that we have.

I am recording this during Easter weekend, we just came from our Good Friday activity, which was stations of the cross. it's not the same as the Catholic stations of the cross. It's more of an interpretation. They use art, different [00:01:00] expressions of artistic forms, different mediums, and you go through the eight stations and there's bible verses.[00:01:11] There's prayers and different things to think about. Sometimes there's music or sound effects. And every year it's different. It's really a great way to get into that meditative state where we're thinking about what God has done for us. And a celebration on Sunday, resurrection Sunday when he rose from the dead.[00:01:44] I'm gonna try and put[00:01:47] the pictures that I took on my Facebook page, DSW Ministries. So if you wanna look at those, you can. I'm not the greatest photographer. I just took them with my [00:02:00] phone. But hope that you enjoy those. Something else I wanted to mention.

This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.[00:00:26] Now here is Diana.[00:00:33] Hello everyone. Come on in. Welcome.[00:00:37] How are you doing? It is definitely spring here as I'm recording. Got some new rose bushes for my garden and they are starting to bloom. That's exciting. It is time for my spring planting of vegetables. I do have to finish that today.[00:00:58] Now, I did [00:01:00] have a couple of guests that I was supposed to interview this week. But they have rescheduled, due to family illness. And so we're going to continue with our character study on some prominent people in the Bible, some that have experienced abuse or some major trauma.[00:01:21] And today we're going to talk about Hadassah, also known as Esther. And we're gonna look into her story and who this King Xerxes was and the nuances in that story. I have seen a couple movies on Queen Esther, and they're kind of irritating because the movies depict the marriage between Esther and Xerxes as a love story.[00:01:57] And I totally disagree with that. [00:02:00] Maybe they're trying to keep the movie family friendly or they don't like the reality of this story. But I'm going to give you the honest truth here, history of what's going on in the book of Esther, and this is an important book. Now, it gets a lot of flack because the name God is not mentioned in the book.[00:02:24] But as you will see by reading the book, that God is in the background. He's doing some amazing things. He is trying to protect his people, and he is using Queen Esther to do that. And so let's get out our Bibles if you wanna follow along in that. Of course. We're gonna start in Esther chapter one, verse one.[00:02:52] And

Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.[00:00:26] Now here is Diana.[00:00:33] Hi everyone. Welcome back to the show. I hope that you are doing well. It has been a crazy week, hasn't it?[00:00:42] I've decided to do this week's lesson on people in the Bible who have suffered abuse, prominent people in the Bible. You may have heard their story. You may only know some of their story, but not all of it.[00:01:00] I've decided to do this week's lesson on Bathsheba. It has been all over Twitter, and it drives me nuts because it is very plain in the text, very clear in the Bible if you're reading the Bible, that Bathsheba was raped.[00:01:20] She was not having an affair with King David. And so we're going to explore that today and you'll see for yourself that Bathsheba was a victim. And I probably need to just get off of Twitter and quit reading those feeds. But it does make me angry when we've got, these preachers and leaders of churches that are being misogynistic, blaming women for everything, for every man's choice.[00:01:51] Or, not letting David,[00:01:53] Take the consequences for his bad choices, for his own sin.[00:01:58] so get your [00:02:00] Bibles out if you wanna follow along. We are going to be in Second Samuel chapter 11,[00:02:08] I'm reading from the ESV version. You can read whichever version that you enjoy.

What would you do if a pagan nation took you captive far from home, changed your name, commanded you to bow before an idol, and accused you of breaking the king's law? We are talking about Daniel and his 3 friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah who suffered these very things, yet was faithful to the Lord. We are going to be diving into each chapter of the book of Daniel, discovering how these faithful servants of God survived 70 years of captivity, some basics of visions, and end time prophecies. If you've never read the book of Daniel, it's more than the lion's den! You are going to enjoy this encouraging study!Full transcript below!Website: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

Glad that you are here joining me once again. And I appreciate your support of this podcast financially and most of all praying for us here. And I know that you guys are praying for me because I have some even better news than last week. Brian got a phone call from Social Security Administration telling him that he was approved for permanent [00:01:00] disability benefits.[00:01:02] And that was a huge surprise because we have been fighting for a year and a half to get that for him and we finally got it. And so that's a huge answer to prayer. And I know there are people listening that have some disability of some sort, and you're trying to get[00:01:22] disability from the government because you can't work. It is really hard. It is super challenging and it's depressing and well[00:01:32] I have friends that have been trying for years to get disability benefits and they've been denied and they appeal and get denied again.

We are continuing our series on People in the Bible who have suffered abuse. Today we are diving into Hagar's story and her son Ishmael. Where did Hagar come from? What led up to the unfortunate events Hagar endured? Did God really tell Hagar to go back to her abuser? Find out why you should be encouraged by her story, and learn some fresh insights to a familiar tale.Transcript below:Website: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

Welcome everybody. Did you know that you are loved by God? You are precious in his sight.[00:00:09] So that is a reminder for you today. I'm glad you're here. I hope that you enjoyed my interview with Eric Allen last week. He was a awesome conversationalist and had a powerful story. Now this week we're going back to our series on prominent people in the Bible, those who have suffered some abuse.[00:00:31] The Bible has a lot to say about abuse, contrary to popular belief. So[00:00:37] it took me a long time to decide who I was going to do this week because we have so many stories in the Bible that we can learn from, and I decided to pick Hagar because I'm familiar with the story. and I think there is some encouragement in there that people [00:01:00] don't always see. Now we're going to jump around a little bit in the scripture because that's what we do when we do a Bible study of any kind, is that we are looking at some of the surrounding passages.[00:01:13] They get some context and clarity in maybe the backstory or some cultural information. So let's get started here. We're gonna start in Genesis chapter 12 and,[00:01:27] and I'm reading from the E S V version, but you can choose any version that you are comfortable with that you enjoy reading.[00:01:37] So who was Hagar? Hagar was a servant of Sarah in Abraham.[00:01:43] So to get the context of where Hagar came from and what led up to what happened to her, then we are going to[00:01:53] go over what Abraham was about.[00:01:57] So just a quick background is [00:02:00] that Abraham was not born a Jew, he was born in a,

On our second week of the new Bible character series, we will talk about the tragic story of Tamar, the daughter of King David. We discuss the other supporting characters in the story that contributed to the rape of Tamar by her half-brother, Amnon. Does Tamar get any justice? Why is sexual sin so evil? Are there any takeaways or lessons that we can learn from this account? Yes.

The Bible has a lot to say about abuse. Most people don't know that. And so we're going to explore these people's lives, and I am going to be totally honest with you.[00:01:45] Some stories in the Bible do not have a happy ending. The Bible records the stories as they are without any kind of editing. Some are very graphic and some [00:02:00] are not as graphic,

We just had some cold weather where we had to cover up the plants, frost warning and so to speak.[00:01:15] But now it is starting to warm up a little bit and I'm looking forward to the flowers all blooming and my vegetable garden, getting more heat loving vegetables.[00:01:31] I do have tomato plants out there growing under the greenhouse, but they seem to really like the hot weather more than the cold weather. And I got some rose bushes. Now I have killed every rose we have ever owned. And I would say probably 20 rose bushes, they've all died. And there were several years that I [00:02:00] didn't buy any rose bushes. And it was,

I appreciate you coming back to this part two of Dating Train wrecks and we went over some really disturbing stories of dating after my divorce.[00:00:53] I'm gonna talk a little bit briefly about some of the other guys that I met [00:01:00] on these dating websites. Not gonna go into as much detail as the first episode, but I am going to go over detail a guy that I had dated that I really cared for and liked, and I thought that this would be a good person to have an ongoing relationship with.[00:01:22] But that didn't work out.[00:01:24] How has your week been going? I mentioned last time that Brian and I have COVID. I am fine. I had tested again this morning, and I am negative for COVID, thankfully, so I can go out and do stuff instead of staying at home. Please pray for Brian. He is still doing poorly. Last night he had a high fever and I was a little bit nervous, but it did go back down [00:02:00] this morning. Because of his[00:02:02] immune system, he has a harder time fighting any kind of viruses or illnesses. So,

Everybody, we have joined the club. Brian and I are sick with Covid this week. We have dodged Covid for the last two years. In fact, we haven't been sick with either a cold or a [00:01:00] flu or anything else in the last two years, and unfortunately we have it now.[00:01:08] So I'm gonna tell you a little bit about our experience. If you don't wanna hear about our experience with Covid, go ahead and fast forward five minutes. But I started feeling some symptoms at work at my temp job. And everybody around me is sick and it's a very small office and we're all jammed in there like sardines, and it's warm. There's not a whole lot of circulation. And there's not a whole lot of cleaning products like in the lunchroom.[00:01:41] There aren't any Clorox wipes to wipe off the table you were sitting at or wipe the sink area near the microwave. And I knew when I went in there that I'm gonna get sick. My previous temp job, I went [00:02:00] into the office and everything was very spread out. It was very airy. There was airflow, air conditioning, and there was plenty of cleaning products.[00:02:10] If you touched a surface, you were required to wipe it down.

We have a fantastic story of redemption for you today with my guest Steven Snook. He candidly tells of his abusive upbringing, him selling drugs at an early age, and winding up in prison, particularly in solitary confinement. God had big plans for Steven after he was born again, and he led many others to Christ in prison. He now has a thriving ministry and business after he was finally released. Steven is an incredible storyteller, and you will be so encouraged and inspired by his testimony! Don't miss it. Biography:I spent 19 years in federal prison for a non-violent drug crime. I got saved and born again in 2003 and received the baptism in the Holy Spirit in 2004. I was a minister of the gospel in prisons all across America. In 2017, I spent 377 days in solitary confinement, in intense prayer and fasting. During that time The Lord revealed Himself in many signs and wonders. Many inmates were born again during that time. Since my release from prison in Feb. 2022, I created a business based on a dream I received from God, I've been a guest lecturer at multiple colleges including Bradley University, and am driven to spread the gospel and tell my story of redemption. I have been on many podcasts recently including Jody Burkeen's, "Man Up God's Way", as well as Dr. Joe Martin's, "Real Men Connect". Both of which have tens of thousands of followers.This is my website. Jesus Speaks LLC - Decorative Inspirational Scripture Frames for Home I started an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign on Nov. 14th to sell the scripture frames and to promote my Substack for the original memoir, exclusive prison photos, possible podcasts, etc.Transcript below!Website: https://dswministries.orgEmail: diana@dswministries.orgSocial media links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistriesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlistsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Stitcher, Listen NotesKeep in touch with me!

There are a myriad of emotions, thoughts and choices after you have gone through a divorce, especially a survivor of abuse. I go through the roller coaster ride of the 2 years after the divorce, which involves depression, bankruptcy, sleepless night, and sabotage. I also take time to reflect the positive things that I did afterwards that I was not allowed to do when I was married. It is a raw and transparent account filled with teachable moments. I also include a Christmas giveaway and my song O Holy Night!Transcript BelowO Holy Night arrangement by David Clydesdale, used by permission on license. For the Christmas Giveaway!

Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.[00:00:26] Now here is Diana.[00:00:30] Hi, everyone. Come on in. Get a holiday beverage of your choice and come and sit for a spell. Take a deep breath, unc unclench your jaw. Let's talk about the holidays, which we are in the midst of. I'm not doing a holiday episode this year. I have done one last year, [00:01:00] which you can go back and listen to. But what I will say about the holidays is to take care of yourself. Make sure that you are establishing boundaries, and forcing those boundaries, and you don't have to do everything that the holidays conjurs up.[00:01:20] You don't have to fulfill all those expectations of what our society deems as Christmas. You can have a quiet celebration with just your family, with just yourself. You don't have to go into debt for Christmas. Your kids don't have to have the latest and greatest gadget or toy. The holidays are supposed to be about Jesus, and he kind of gets pushed out of the way. But about self.[00:01:51] You don't have to go to those Christmas dinners if you're not feeling up to it or you don't want to interact with [00:02:00] people, your relatives, your friends, your church, whatever. You decide how you're going to celebrate and you stick to that. Make your own traditions. Don't follow everybody else's.

We're coming to the end of the tunnel, a very dark, long tunnel. This week on my story I relive more spiritual abuse related to the church plant that turned into the Twighlight Zone instead of a place of worship. Hear about the untrained pastor with the billboard on the back of his truck, who didn't believe in small talk, who preached the same message every Sunday, and systematically chased everyone away from his church, including us. At the end of the episode, I feature my new Christmas recording, Hallelujah, Light Has Come.Transcript below!Hallelujah, Light Has Come, composed by Barlow Girl, arranged by Mark McClure.

We've made it to part 18 of my story, almost to the end of this thing. And I've been hearing from you guys some feedback on my story, and I wanted to talk about that for a minute. One of the things that somebody had given on feedback on for the podcast is that [00:01:00] my intro is too long.[00:01:01] I'm a podcaster because I like to talk, so maybe sometimes I talk too much. But I am working on that. And I am working on some technical components that you guys have told me about. I'm getting some help for that. So stay tuned for some improvements if you've noticed. Glitchy on the podcast.[00:01:27] I am trying to provide the best podcast for you as possible. One other, a couple of the things that were mentioned were that I have a monotone voice sometimes.[00:01:41] Yes, I do. I am trying to be transparent.[00:01:46] I come to the podcast as I am, this is me. This is what you're gonna hear when you have a conversation with me. It's hard to talk to an empty room, talk to a camera. And people have pointed out, once the [00:02:00] guest comes on, then you're very excited and you're louder. That's because I feed off of the energy of the other person. I wanna make my guests feel welcome. And give them a good interview. And so I am working on that.[00:02:18] With telling my story.

The saga continues this week on my story. See what happens when you start a church in a strip mall. We meet some of the church members who would join us. I continue recalling the abuse behind the scenes, including the speculations behind our non-existent love life. There are many examples of financial abuse, emotional abuse, spiritual abuse, isolation, and unhealthy patterns of married sex. I end the episode with a Christmas song I recorded, Candlelight Carol.

I am very thankful for you out there listening and watching. We have the holidays to contend with as always, but we can get through this together. Now you remember Wayne Styles, who I mentioned frequently on the show. He was on the podcast last year [00:01:00] and he has those virtual tours to the holy lands. And more importantly, he is an excellent Bible teacher. Anyway, if you've been hesitating on getting his virtual videos, Wayne has just created brand new DVDs that are 20 bucks, includes five different tours on a disc. So I myself bought four of them for Christmas gifts.[00:01:34] I wanted to give one to my pastor and then another our Pastor Emeretus and one to my Bible study teacher and one I'm going to give away as a bonus for you guys. So please be on the lookout for that as soon as I get them in, which will be in a couple of days, [00:02:00] I'll be doing the giveaway for the videos.[00:02:03] I highly recommend Wayne's virtual trips to the Holy Lands,

Thank you for continuing with me on the next chapter of my story. I start out clarifying what went down when the church fired me, and the fallout from that. I fill in the rest of that time period with what happened at home behind the scenes, including nearly losing everything on a business venture, my ex sabotaging expressions of my musical gifts and other emotional abuses, and my dogs who helped me cope. I end with news of my new Christmas recording to be released next week!

Transcript:

[00:00:00] Diana Winkler: Hello everyone. Welcome back once again to the podcast. Thanks for coming back and listening to my story being a part of my journey.

[00:00:18] I've had some feedback on my story that I've been telling.

[00:00:23] And people ask me, why should you tell your story? Why go back and rehash all of this old stuff that you went through? Why don't you just move forward? That's a really good question. I have moved forward. But for you to move forward as an abuse survivor, you have to process what you went through.

[00:00:54] Now, I have done that with Mending the Soul, and through some counseling, [00:01:00] and I am much further on my journey than I was 10 years ago. I am able to help other people at this point because I have healed

[00:01:15] to a certain extent. Now, in many soul groups, one of the exercises that we do is tell our story. Some of my participants have never told anyone their story. Not another living soul. And this is part of acknowledging what you went through. This is part of discovering what happened, recognizing that what happened to you was abuse and that it wasn't your fault.

[00:01:58] There are many different [00:02:00] kinds of abuses too. As you listen to my story is very different than other people's stories. But what happens when you tell your story in a safe environment, people that you can trust, is that the power that it held over you, it's no longer there. Now, that sounds very simplistic, but

[00:02:29] Start at that starting line and let that story out.

Welcome back to My Story series on the podcast. This week I recall the good, the bad, and the ugly about the time I was on staff at a church. I hated the politics, the backbiting, gossip, and legalism that went on behind the scenes. I explain why I haven't been to a ladies retreat in 15 years and the times I was being traumatized on Sunday mornings before I got up to sing. In the midst of it all, I had to pretend that everything was perfect at home. At the end of the podcast, I feature my new song, O Divin Redempteur, so be sure to listen until the end.

Transcript below!

Song: Repentir, O Divin Redempteur composed by Charles Gounod. Arrangement and orchestration by Diana Winkler. Pianist Paul Ross. Produced by Brian Winkler at Winkler Creative Studios.

Hi everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. Continuing with my story today. This is part 15, so if you haven't heard the rest of my story, you might be missing some really important relevant events. So go back and listen to previous episodes. They're all labeled "My Story" and they are numbered in order.I did cover my childhood abuse by a school counselor, high school years, in college, getting saved, getting called into the ministry, et cetera. If you don't wanna listen to all of them, I would say go back to, at least when I started dating my ex. To get an accurate picture of where I'm at right now.When telling your story, it is really challenging to put the events together, what to leave out. It's also really hard to relive these memories and describe them the way that they happen to me. That's pretty typical for a survivor. We all have our different stories. They are all valid. Some are more severe than others, but unless you've experienced certain things like gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional abuse, you don't realize how hard it is to set the scene with all its complicatedtwists and turns and miscellaneous tidbits that drive you nuts, but you don't know how to fit it into the narrative.

View Details

We are coming back to finish My Story series. We left off leaving our church in the inner city, and taking advantage of a job transfer to move out West. I talk about the adjustments that had to be made, being near my parents, finding a church to serve in. I also discover that the same abuse followed me across the country. If you haven't listened to the rest of my story so far, I recommend listening to the previous episodes numbered and labeled "My Story". I also have my newest song recording at the end of the podcast, called O Divine Redeemer. So be sure to stay until the end!

O Divine Redeemer composed by Charles Gounod, arrangement and orchestration by Diana Winkler.

[00:00:00] Brian Winkler: Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast. Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now, here is Diana.

[00:00:28] Diana Winkler: Hello. Come on in. Come and sit for a spell. Did you know that you are greatly loved by God? I've been reading in Daniel recently, and a verse that I have never seen before was that, Twice. In fact, in the Book of Daniel, [00:01:00] God sends an angel with a message to tell Daniel that he is greatly loved. Wouldn't you like to get a message like that? I know, I would! Go look that up yourself.

[00:01:18] Go read the book of Daniel.

[00:01:22] It's a treasure trove of a book. So many things to learn about God. Now, I went to a memorial service this week. I did not know the deceased though. It was two ladies in my Bible study who were sisters. They lost their mom to a rare cancer and it was terrible. She was diagnosed and died within four [00:02:00] months, and so I went to the memorial to support the girls.

We have our finale for our Bible study series today! Last, but not least, we have my own Pastor, Kyle Fox, on the show talking about why it is important to study the Scriptures for yourself, but also why you need a godly community for support. He gives us his own acronym that helps you remember the basic guidelines for Scripture interpretation. Lots of valuable tools to help you in your personal study!

Bio:

Kyle Fox, Lead Pastor & Elder

Hey! My name is Kyle Fox and I am the lead pastor of Red Mountain Community Church in Mesa, AZ. I’ve been in this role since 2016, but have grown up at this church.

[00:00:25] lots of things to talk about today.

[00:00:30] I don't remember if I warned you about the ad at the beginning of the podcast. That is called a pre-roll. And I realized that when I was unemployed that as much as I'm enjoying the podcast and doing this for you, it was costing me money that I didn't have. And so I've had to learn [00:01:00] how to make some money at least enough to break even on the cost...

Bio:

In March of 2016 I was diagnosed with liver disease, Cirrhosis to be exact. I don’t even drink and here I was labeled with the one disease that never entered my mind as a possibility. This past Spring I was incredibly ill and so frustrated. Here I was trying to live a life pleasing to the Lord, to share His love with the world and now I was facing possible liver transplant, my hair falling out, infertility, anemia, fibroids, potassium deficiency, enlarged spleen, gall stones and a 40% chance of death in the next five years.

My mother swooped in with prayers and a plan. My community rallied around me. My husband was a rock and my father a source of constant encouragement. The help that Jon and I received were the hands of Jesus on the earth. The doctors had no explanation as to why the illness had progressed so far so fast, maybe it was from fatty liver disease or maybe it is some exotic autoimmune issue. Nobody seems to know, all I could do was trust the Father in the midst of what seemed like an “untrustable” situation.

In the midst of this storm I have seen the face of God. I have been carried by the prayers of the righteous. And most importantly I’ve clung to the fact that God still heals today. My empty unfilled Diabetes and High Blood Pressure medicine bottles are a sign of that. The doctor reports that my liver is functioning and there is nothing to do but watch it, spurs me to reply, that I watch only for the manifestation of my healing to be revealed. My clothes are too big and the weight I use to carry has diminished since changing my entire nutritional lifestyle. And I feel great, look pretty cute to. If you knew how sick I was you would rejoice with me that my sluggish liver is starting to trot! Praise the Lord!

But sometimes those nasty little doubts whisper to my mind. So what do you do? First you call the devil a lie, proclaim the Word of God over your life and stand flat footed on the promises of Psalm 118 verse 17 – I shall not die but live to proclaim the work of the Lord! And did you know the liver is the only organ that can regenerate, that’s what I’m experiencing, a creative miracle in my own body!

Then you think of Morgan Freeman. One of his most famous movie lines is from the Shawshank Redemption, “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” Being sick will make you take a long look at your life and I saw some things I didn’t like. Fear that hindered me from pursuing my dreams full out, I saw missed opportunities, many moments I had lived unaware of the presence, the power and the beauty of the Lord.

And I decided no more… In the midst of my sickness, the Lord whispered to me to live! Live with joy, with passion, with a thankful heart and the belief that He can do all things and so the entire focus of Broken Box Ministries has changed. The Lord will satisfy me with long life and show me His salvation! And each moment I have I plan to live joyfully, thankfully and prayerfully. My new mission, the desire of my heart, is to teach others to do the same thing.

Michael Jaquith

[00:00:00] Diana Winkler: Hey, that's me. I'm glad that you're here. Glad you stopped by to listen. I'm hoping that the podcast episodes, the guests and the resources are helpful to you in your healing journey. That is my goal. I work very hard to bring you the best to improve the value of the podcast. So if you don't know already, I have started to include the transcript in the show notes for you, and the YouTube videos have subtitles.

[00:00:43] And I know you're saying to me, Diana, it's nice of you to catch up with the rest of the world. I know I'm a bit slow to learn the technology, but I've got it done for you, so [00:01:00] I hope that brings value to you. Now shortly, I will be doing some 30 second advertising before the show, just a heads up on that. It will not be interrupting the podcast in the middle of the interviews like some podcasters do.

[00:01:23] I don't think that's a very good idea, especially with the delicate subject matter of the show. But I need to learn how to monetize my show with the minimum amount of annoyance. Right? Okay. We have a wonderful show for you today, A male survivor story. He's a life coach with a different perspective. We're going to be talking about faith and addictions, marriage, and [00:02:00] real solutions for healing.

[00:02:03] The ladies listening, you might get an insider's look at how your man thinks. Are they struggling, how to help him.

We are having a great time during our Bible Study series. This week my guest is Jake Doberenz from Creatively Christian Podcast and Theophany Media. Jake is known for finding the humor in everyday life, and even in difficult passages in Scripture. He loves to study the writings of Paul, passionate about exploring the depths of Scripture, and loves to snuggle up with his wife and cats on the couch. He has a unique and fresh perspective when it comes to studying God's Word. Join us for a enjoyable conversation, filled with practical tools and witty, comical sayings!

Bio:

Jake Doberenz isn’t one thing. He identifies as a polymath, a Renaissance man, or a multipotentialite–one interest or specialty can’t contain him.

But enough of the third-person. I am a writer, speaker, minister, and creative thinker living in Oklahoma City, OK with my wife Samantha. My most significant role is the founder and president of Theophany Media, a Christian education company dedicated to helping Christians engage with culture through new media. I have earned my Master of Theological Studies at Oklahoma Christian University, the same place I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Bible with a minor in Communication Studies. I also worked at my alma mater as a Resident Director and Bible TA.

I write fiction and nonfiction in a variety of mediums, including poetry, short stories, books, stage plays, academic essays, and devotionals. I also venture out into other mediums, like podcasts and video. My favorite topics of choice to discuss and write about (though always changing) include: creating Christian art, helping people understand the Bible better, Christian identity, theology of social media, use of humor in faith messages, superheroes and theology, and a Christian response to culture.

Transcript below!

Bio:

Mending the Soul was conceived in 2003 when Steve and Celestia Tracy and a handful of men and women met with a passion to comfort those broken by abuse. Because there were few resources available to address the complexities of abuse and neglect, Steve and Celestia published Mending the Soul: Understanding and Healing Abuse to educate on the nature and effects of abuse, and the Mending the Soul Workbook to guide survivors through an interactive and integrated process of healing and forgiveness in community with each other.

Together, the Tracys co-founded and co-direct Mending the Soul, mentoring and supervising collaborative teams of writers, artists, musicians, educators, students, mental health providers, and business professionals who create the sustainable healing models and curricula for Mending the Soul Ministries for global application.

Steve and Celestia have three grown children, who, with their families, partner with them in ministries of justice and mercy.

Steven R Tracy, Ph.D.

Steve is the President and International Director for Mending the Soul, and professor of theology and ethics at Phoenix Seminary where he has taught since 1995. He has also served as a church pastor for fifteen years. Steve’s research and writing are focused on biblical ethics, sexuality, and abuse. He received a B.A. from Arizona State, an M.Div. and Th.M. from Western Seminary and a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from the University of Sheffield (England) with a research focus on Pauline ethics. In addition to his domestic work, Steve, along with his wife Celestia, spend 4-8 weeks a year in East Africa coordinating and supervising international trauma training teams. Steve is the author of seven books and numerous book chapters and journal articles.

Transcript below!

Introduction

Hi! I’m Al (known on Twitch as XtianNinja), a full-time streamer, podcaster, and YouTuber from Canada who is working hard to serve the online community by building an open, encouraging, and meaningful online family, through gaming, real talk, and God’s truth.

I believe with my whole heart that God called me to serve the gaming and streaming community full-time, so regular donations are what keep me, my family, and this new-frontier mission going. If you see the need for online missions and appreciate what I’m doing please become a monthly Patreon donor here. For more information, check out my vision for XtianNinja Online Missions.

Quick Bio

I grew up in a Christian home have known Jesus since I was six years old. After a short time of teenage rebellion, I went to North American Bible College (Now Taylor College & Seminary) in Edmonton to “figure things out”. There, I rededicated my life to Jesus, met my wife, Anita, and was called into full-time pastoral ministry. Since then I’ve been serving Jesus’ in all areas of church life — preaching and teaching, writing, music, leadership development, small groups, tech, sound, graphic design, photography, video editing… whatever it takes to share Jesus and teach scripture in a creative and inspiring way!

In September 2020 a new chapter of my life started when God made it absolutely clear that he wanted me to give up looking for a new ministry position, stop seeking secular work, and dedicate myself full-time to serving as a missionary on the new frontier of global missions as a Twitch streamer. It’s been quite an adventure since then, but over the past months I’ve had God’s call affirmed in amazing ways as He’s changed people’s lives through my channel. If you want to hear some stories and hear updates on how the ministry is going, here are some podcast episodes to check out:

We're starting our new series this week on how to study the bible for abuse survivors! This is such an important part of our healing, especially with spiritual abuse. I have invited trusted bible teachers to come on the podcast and give their best tips and advice on studying the bible for yourself. Paul Granger is our first honored guest, who will inspire you and encourage you to get started in God's Word. Please join us for this life changing series and share this episode!

Transcript below!

Bio:

When asked who he is, Paul likes to say "a child of God and ambassador of Christ",  because he's learned that these elements of his identity supersede and shape the rest.  One of the ways God has invited him to live out the call to "love God and love others" is through the "shepherding gift": providing pastoral support, creating space for conversation and community, and advocating for those that may go unseen.Functionally, he has spent the last two decades serving with various ministries, and now serves full time alongside YWAM in loving his neighbors in authentic ways.  He also loves to create, whether it is his podcast "Where did you see God", writings, or videos.  He loves spending time with his wife and kids, and they see their home -- which God gave them in a crazy way -- as an important piece of how they love their neighbors as a lifestyle.

I share my experiences in my book, I’ll Pray for You: A Christian Woman’s Guide to Surviving Domestic Abuse. My book’s life lessons have already inspired audiences around the United States, and the world, to heal and help others find hope. In addition to being a conference speaker and podcast guest, my writing has been published in Divine Purpose Magazine.

So you've heard of post traumatic stress disorder, but we're gonna find out what post traumatic growth is today. Agape Garcia id going to tell her powerful story of how she survived childhood survival, defying all odds, and protecting her from her abusive husband. She describes how she has risen above her trauma, learned to deal with those triggers, and helps others to be incredible selves!

Transcript below!

Bio:

Be Your Incredible Self (BYIS) best describes Ms. Garcia’s tenacious attitude towards empowering others. Garcia, over the past 35 years has navigated through domestic violence, privacy, safety, vulnerability, and the mindset to endure personal adverse events in life. Her survival of a double attempted homicide while 8 months pregnant (by the father) and the desperation to survive became the catalyst to the foundation of BYIS while achieving an undisputed outlook of independence.  During her journey to overcome, Garcia learned that extreme independence is a trauma driven response and a natural one which can be defeated through focused, self awareness and intentional control.Through her own walk, harsh lessons brought on by extreme independence resulted in areas of her life being sabotaged repeatedly.  Her personal journey of post traumatic growth has led Garcia to dedicating her life in developing transformational programs, various forms of coaching, certification courses and establishing a nonprofit to help real time victims. Her commitment is to provide lifelong transformational habits that can restore your powerful internal sense of control. One of her personal statements, ‘You don’t live anywhere but in your head’  is why some of her laser focus teachings are on aligning your mental and emotional belief system.

TRANSCRIPT:

[00:00:27] Hello? Hello. How are you guys doing?

[00:00:31] Diana Winkler: Are you having a good day? It has been a weird day so far. It's never boring in this place. I went outside to water all the plants and make sure that the birds and the cat was watered and fed. And I heard the sounds of a horse whinnying. Now, [00:01:00] I know that none of my neighbors have horses, none of them that I know of have horses. So I'm on top of a hill so I can see the valley below me.

[00:01:13] And I see that my Northern neighbor has somebody on the side of the house with a truck and a horse trailer. And there was a horse in the trailer. And I thought, oh, okay, somebody's visiting with their horse for a few minutes. And I went back into the house and eating my breakfast and all of a sudden I hear

[00:01:39] the horse winnying pretty loud. I could hear it from inside the house. I ran outside and

[00:01:46] I had walked over to my neighbor's wall and I peeked over the wall and my neighbor does not have any kind of set up for horses. [00:02:00] If you are familiar with Sanford and Son, that's pretty much what his backyard looks like. And I almost didn't see the horse when I saw the horse's behind. Oh, there is a horse over here!

[00:02:16] I'm not losing my mind. Oh. And the horse is so pretty. Beautiful horse. It was like a gray, speckled horse. I could not see if it was a male or female. And the horse was tied to the tree,

What in the world is drum therapy? Is it the same as a drum lesson? Are drums effective as a healing tool? Are drums evil or ungodly? We will find out with my guest Dori Staehle, a Certified Drum Therapist! This is going to an informative and FUN interview as we hear her amazing story of healing from a traumatic accident, and how she has helped people improve their health and lives! My husband Brian will also be co-hosting with me today, so don't miss out!

Dori's Bio:

A freak accident in 2011 sent my life into a tailspin. I later decided that I didn’t want to just move onto the next stage of my life, I wanted to rock it - and help others do the same. It was my hobby of drumming that changed everything. It's fast, safe, effective, interactive, science-based, very easy, and loads of fun - with a dash of rock!

I've created customized programs and techniques that meet the client's or organization's goals. I provide hand drums for in-person classes and events. For virtual classes and events, you can drum on whatever you have. Private clients receive a djembe drum that I ship directly to you (US clients only).

What can drum therapy do for you? How about:Reduce stressImprove clarity and focusImprove coordinationBoost your memoryImprove overall healthReduce hyperactivity and ADHD issuesBoost productivity and confidenceImprove team communication and performance*And much more!

I became certified with the internationally-known Drums and Disabilities Program and I have specialized training with Health Rhythms. I began creating my own techniques, based on the client's or group's needs and formed Next Stage Drumming. I specialize in Christian creatives, entrepreneurs, and female leaders but I've worked with all ages, including seniors and special needs.

Drumming can be combined with an inspiring talk, a workshop or retreat, or a corporate team-building, health and wellness, or empowerment program. I also have a drum ministry for teens and adults, and I'm a percussionist and Toca Percussion artist.

My bounce-back story plus tips are featured in my best-selling book, "Find Your Divine Rhythm: A Creative's Success Formula" ( http://amzn.to/1NYTMYP ). My new book, "Rise Up & Rock: Activating Your God-Given Purpose" is now on Amazon ( https://amzn.to/36W7IV8 ).

Life’s short! It's time to rise up and rock!

Specialties: Drum therapy, drumming programs, Christian entrepreneurs, female leaders, therapeutic drumming, health and wellness, team building, youth empowerment, ADHD, giftedness, at-risk youth, Christian speaker

We have a a perfect episode for Mother's Day week. I have my special guest Melissa Reilly here to give us some valuable advice on how to raise our kids when our mother is not present. It doesn't matter if we are missing our mom from either estrangement, death, or living far away. Raising kids without your Mom is difficult. Melissa shares with us her stories of her childhood filled with traumatic losses of multiple family members, her discovery with God in relation to death, and the adventures of raising children later in life. You will be so blessed!

BIO:

Alone in the hospital room six hours after giving birth I felt an unbelievable emotional pain that felt like part of me was breaking.  I lost my mother 15 years previously and yet in that moment the pain I felt over her absence was as if she had just died again.  I couldn’t believe that instead of being consumed with joy I was overwhelmed with grief.  What was wrong with me?Moms separated from their own mother by physical distance, emotional estrangement or death experience a grief process that is rarely identified, let alone talked about.  As a clinical psychologist and mom coach I love to help moms without a mom heal through grief, build community, feel joy in motherhood and move from feelings of isolation, insecurity and overwhelm to a place of confidence and resilience.  

Melissa Reilly is a mom of two boys, clinical psychologist and parent coach who is passionate about helping moms separated from their mother by physical distance, estrangement, or death, move from feelings of insecurity, isolation and overwhelm to a place of resilience.

Here is my free guide “Bonding with Baby while caring for yourself”  designed to help postpartum moms without a mom develop strategies to care for themselves without needing to find extra time away from their baby.

More love from Danielle Bernock this week! We have Part Two of my conversation with her. We find out why she decided to choose her own name and what people thought of that. We talk about how to heal childhood trauma, which can take longer to heal. Did you know you can suffer from trauma for years and not even know it? Danielle tells us the story of how challenging it was to write her first book. She gives us great advice on how to give ourselves some much needed love! There were so many gold nuggets in this interview(That's why I had a Part Two)! Don't miss it!

The Passion Bible translation was mentioned(not related to the movie).

“Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams healing can begin.”― Danielle Bernock, Emerging With Wings: A True Story of Lies, Pain, And The LOVE that Heals

Danielle is an international, award-winning author, speaker, podcast host, and trauma-informed self-love coach who helps men, women, and organizations EMERGE with clear vision of their value, TAKE ownership of their choices, and CHART a path to their purpose, becoming Victorious Souls who Embrace The Change from survive to thrive through the power of the love of God.

She has authored 4 books, written for numerous online publications, and her stories have been published in two book anthologies. Her mantra is “love yourself from survive to thrive”, and she's known as “that lady on the internet who loves you.” A long time follower of Christ, Danielle lives with her husband in Michigan near her adult children and grandchildren.

How can someone say I love you, when you've never met? Well, my guest Danielle Bernock is going to tell you how! A lover of cheese and ziplining, she shares how she thought that God didn't love her when she was rejected by her church. Danielle is very candid about her childhood trauma and the journey it took towards healing. This is Part One of my conversation with Danielle. You are going to love her!

BIO:

Danielle Bernock founded 4F Media (Faith, Family, Friends, Freedom) in 2014 to promote inner healing and personal freedom through the power of ‘The LOVE that heals’, using all forms of media, beginning with her first book.

The following quote from the book has gone viral:

“Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams healing can begin.”― Danielle Bernock, Emerging With Wings: A True Story of Lies, Pain, And The LOVE that Heals

Danielle is an international, award-winning author, speaker, podcast host, and trauma-informed self-love coach who helps men, women, and organizations EMERGE with clear vision of their value, TAKE ownership of their choices, and CHART a path to their purpose, becoming Victorious Souls who Embrace The Change from survive to thrive through the power of the love of God.

She has authored 4 books, written for numerous online publications, and her stories have been published in two book anthologies. Her mantra is “love yourself from survive to thrive”, and she's known as “that lady on the internet who loves you.” A long time follower of Christ, Danielle lives with her husband in Michigan near her adult children and grandchildren.

We have a bonus episode for you this week! Come and hear about a great fundraiser for sexual assault survivors! It's called a Panty-Thon! I'm interviewing Juanita McDonald about her story behind starting her ministry at Discover Me! Join us!

Organization: Re-Discover ME Women InitiativeMission: To Engage, Educate, and Inspire change for which a woman or teen girl survivor of abuse, trauma, and mental health desperation can rediscover the "ME" she strives to be.Fundraiser: SAS Panty-Thon (In the U. S, someone is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds) Without resources, survivors may become re-victimized due to embarrassment and shame.

www.rediscovermewi.orgwww.facebook.com/Re-Discover ME@re_discover_me

Juanita McDonald is the Executive Director of Re-Discover ME (Mental Elevation) Women Initiative. She holds an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanitarian Arts, a Master’s Degree in Change Leadership and Minor in Human Behavior, registered as a Victim Service Provider for the state of South Carolina and certified as a Girl Circle Facilitator through the Department of Social Services. Juanita created Re-Discover ME after going through a period of personal loss and re-establishment.

During the time that she began to accomplish her own personal goals, she quickly realized the extent that women lose their identity by conforming to titles placed upon them by others or situations, which hinders her from fully developing. Therefore, our services center on Domestic Violence, Trauma, and Mental Health Advocacy for women.

Event date April 9th, 2022 10am-3pm Virtual

We have more Marcy for you! This week is the second half of my conversation with Marcy Pusey, who talks about her experience with foster to adopt and raising multicultural kids. She also shares the heartbreaking story of her mother-in-law being murdered in her home. There is so much grace, wisdom and valuable lessons learned in her captivating storyteller style! Don't miss it!

Biography:

Marcy is the mother of four humans and two pups, but she’s also tossed pizzas for a pizzeria, acted and sang in a musical, advocated for families with special needs, made appearances in a few movies, and mimed with balloon animals at the Halifax Busker Festival. Marcy is also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Certified Trauma & Resilience Practitioner, international speaker, Story Coach, and the best-selling, award-winning author of books for adults and for children. She does her best writing on retreats with a nearby hot-tub, in any castle, and within view of the sea. Marcy loves the smiles and giggles of kids who see themselves in her pages and the tearful nods of adults who realize they’re not alone by her words. You can watch and share her TEDx Talks: “How Story Empowers Kids to Shape our World” & “You Are More Than Your Traumatic Experiences.”

My CTA is a pdf guide that walks people through telling their story in a way that both impacts their audience and brings unexpected healing to themselves.https://www.marcypusey/healingtrauma

Marcy Pusey is our fun, interesting and empowering guest for you this week! We had a great conversation about a variety of important topics, we made it a two part series. I was going to come up with some clever way to introduce her, but I think she describes herself best:

"Not only do I have the clinical degrees and professional experience in mental health and trauma, but I've lived a lot of what I've learned and teach firsthand as well. I'm a survivor of narcissistic marital abuse, Christian divorce (right?), a fost-adopt mama, lived nearly a decade overseas, raised Third Culture Kids, been to over 40 countries, geek out on personality-typing/wiring, the brain, expressive arts, and the power of storytelling. I find that a lot of what I speak on brings a new way of understanding self and the world, leading to less shame and healthier relationships. I talk about parenting, faith, responsibility and stewardship (of our own lives and those around us), mindset, writing and publishing, travel, trauma, resilience and post traumatic growth, personality (MBTI, Enneagram, Strengths, 4 Tendencies, etc)... and I'm always happy to discuss why Pepsi is better than Coke :p"

Join us for Part One and get to know more about Marcy and her ministry!

Dr. Bill Senyard Is my guest this week who has this very intriguing app for healing from abuse and trauma! He is an experienced pastor, discipler, church revitalization specialist, lecturer and conference speaker with 25 years as a local church pastor. He is the author of twelve books and two on-line experiential paths to help people who struggle with identity, relationships,  shame, addiction, loneliness and forgiveness.

About Bill:

We Christians have a huge problem. The pandemic has only exacerbated previously unrecognized and undealt with existing issues related to loneliness, not-enoughness, disconnectedness and shame. What churches, pastors, and counselors were doing before the pandemic seems to be even less effective—a little or a lot. It’s a question of practical relevance to real people living in this new often frightening “real” world. People are desperate for change.Dr. Bill Senyard has researched the recent science and theology related to shame, loneliness and unforgiveness and has created on-line experiential paths where regular Christians can find healing and move forward--a little or a lot. Does it work? Yep, we can prove it. If your audience struggles with identity and relational issues--and who doesn't?-- they will definitely be interested in what Dr. Bill has to say.

www.gospel-app.combill@gospel-app.com267-614-2035

https://gospel-app.com/paths/the-dance/The Dance is a unique on-line evidence-based experiential journey designed to help Christians who struggle with not-enoughness and disconnectedness (i.e., shame and loneliness). It is virtual, seven teaching stations, under two hours, fully money-back guaranteed. Launched in Dec 2020. Very gratifying results.How can Christians begin to shut up that nasty inner critical voice a little or a lot so that they can get on with their lives and even dance a little.

Your discount coupon for the Forgiving Path (www.forgivingpath.com) and/or The Dance (www.the-dance.org). Regular price for either is $29. This coupon "WOUNDS" (used at registration) is good for $10 off. The coupon is good for 40 days.

Lydia Vreeman is my guest this week from the Holy Ship Podcast! She shares her personal story of being sexually assaulted by someone she trusted in the church. We talk about the difference between purity and virginity, and hope for those of us that have already done things we regret. We had such a fun time talking about dating, boundaries and even dinner parties! Come and hang out with us girls for some honest and real conversation about sex.

Lydia is originally from Southwest Michigan but has lived in NYC for the past 4 1/2 years. She is a co-host and creator of the Holy Ship Podcast where she discusses the intersection of women, Christianity, and sexuality in an open and shame-free way. She enjoys public speaking, videography, traveling, and throwing dinner parties.

About Lydia:

I am passionate about speaking on all things Christianity, sexuality, purity culture, my experience with PTSD and SA, and how theology and faith affect our everyday lives.I grew up Christian and left my faith for several years before a series of events happened bringing me back to my faith. This has created a passion in me to help women on their faith journey and discuss difficult topics.

I have a degree in politics, philosophy, and economics with a minor in theology and economics. If you can't tell, I love theology and economics haha. I think both play vital roles in our society and need to be talked about more.

When I am not public speaking or on a podcast, I love volunteering in nyc, leading in several ministries at church, and helping other people develop their passion projects.

I always speak from personal experience, love sharing funny stories about myself relating to these topics, sharing the research I've done, and having fruitful conversations.

We are continuing in my story this week, wrapping up the ministry in New Jersey as youth leaders. It begins describing the manipulative soulwinning practices in the church. What it was like to knock on doors in the most dangerous city in New Jersey? Find out how a church hired a family to replace us as youth leaders without even telling us. Hear about the scary time we thought the KKK were going to fire bomb our house. I also share how I survived the attempted suicide of my husband. The episode ends with new music I recorded, called "Your God Will Come".

We are continuing my abuse story this week on the podcast. Last time we left off during our time church planting in New Jersey as youth pastors. We're talking more about spiritual abuse and then adding financial abuse to the mix. Find out when I got "caught" trying to sing a Contemporary Christian song for a missions conference. What in the world is "Give It All Sunday"? You'll find out what it was like glutting out a hardware store and turning it into a church. Hear about how Grandma surprised me and got saved one afternoon. We end with some new music I recorded: a cover of "A Million Dreams". It would be an honor to have you join me.

Diana's Bio Diana Alt is a career strategy coach helping people navigate the corporate world and how they fit into it, educate and guide them through the job search and hiring process, and most importantly, take control of their careers, be valued, and get paid. 

Personally, Diana has been on both sides of the hiring table. She began her corporate IT career just before the tech wreck of the early 2000s and had to learn how to compete with people who had 10+ years of experience but were willing to work for the same pay. After a few years, she became a hiring manager, where she learned whoever markets themselves the best, gets the job. She also learned that the company with the most success is the one with the best leaders and culture. She now works with individuals and organizations to make work awesome through her coaching, consulting, and training services.

Diana's top (Clifton) Strengths are Input, Learner, Intellection, Maximizer, and Connectedness.  Her top weaknesses are tacos and Diet Coke.

Why would a church kick a young girl out of the church she loves when she reports she has been abused by someone in the church? This is actually quite common in churches, and it happened more than once to our guest Bridget Seavey. She was raised in the Fundamental Baptist Church and was assaulted as a young girl by a church leader. No one helped her when she reported the abuse. She married her now ex husband in the church who started abusing her during their honeymoon. Even after the black and blue marks showing all over her body, no one helped her. When she became pregnant with her first child, she hoped that things would change. This is Part One of Bridget's incredible story. Don't miss it!

Imagine being a survivor of multiple abuses from childhood, and then the therapist that you chose to help you to heal from that abuse, abuses you as well. This is exactly what happened to our guest Amy Nordhues. We talk about her childhood, how she found her therapist, and the events that led to the betrayal of her trust. The aftermath was just as horrendous, dealing with the emotional upheaval, reactions from family and church, and decisions about litigation. Amy has very valuable tips on how to heal from therapist abuse, and how to spot inappropriate behavior from a professional therapist. This is a powerful, hopeful story that you don't want to miss.

April Metzler

We have a special Christmas episode this year with my musical guests April Metzler, Dan Kennedy, and Thomas Arthur.

This song is a balm and ray of hope for those who have lost a loved one. Our conversation is filled with laughs, as well as some tears as they reminisce back on how they met and how God has used this story to bless others. If you need encouragement this holiday season, don't miss this episode! You will be blessed!

"Christmas With Jesus" is a song inspired in the middle of grief from a loss of a loved one.

The song is being aired across quite a number of radio stations, online and terrestrial, as well as featured on a few podcast shows and broadcasts.

Welcome back to the next part of my story when I was serving in an inner city church in the youth group. I recall the events that led up to us uprooting and moving to the inner city. I describe what it was like to live under a bridge, the wonderful people we were called to serve, and the delicious food there. I set the stage to the legalism, toxic shaming, and shallow preaching that was to be the norm in this church. I remember how I started teaching my first voice students during that time. I end the episode with a favorite Christmas song for you!

The song "Birthday of The King" is Public Domain.

We are continuing the next stage in my life story and abuse story. We left off at graduation from bible college and the tumultuous first year of marriage. I describe the process of becoming a Baptist missionary, the different kinds of missionaries, and the pitfalls. I explain why we chose an unorthodox path as missionaries and who our first couple churches we worked with as church planters. I make some exciting announcements and updates during the podcast. I end the episode with my rendition of The Candlelight Carol by John Rutter.

Welcome back to Part Two of my interview with Joy and Pastor Jason Harris from Cairns, Australia. We continue with their story of abuse at the hands of Larry, Joy's ex husband and Jason's father. This week we talk about Kevin, Joy's oldest son, a pastor who believes his mother's rape was her fault, and that she should repent. Kevin is also a defender of pedophiles like Jack Schapp and believes children are guilty of consenting to being groomed and violated by adults. Joy and Jason both share their journey of healing, what to do if you're in an abusive marriage, and how can pastors help abuse victims instead of contributing to their suffering. You'll definitely want to hear the rest of my conversation with Joy and Jason!

Is there such a thing as consent in marriage? Is there ever a time when you can say no to your spouse? Can someone be raped in a Christian marriage? These are some of the questions we will answer with my two guests from Down Under, Joy Harris, and her son Pastor Jason Harris. Joy is a survivor of years of verbal, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse at the hands of her now ex husband, Larry. Larry was convicted of raping his wife and was sentenced to serve a brief prison sentence. Jason, along with the rest of his 6 siblings, suffered horrible child abuse growing up as missionary kids. On Part One of this interview, Joy shares with us how she met Larry, when the abuse started, and the church culture that enabled the abuse to take place. We talk about corporal punishment vs physical abuse of a child, what does the bible say about sex in marriage, and what their Pastor did when the abuse was reported. You don't want to miss this powerful story and valuable perspective from Joy and Jason.

Sue Bowles

Did you know that there are many forms of eating disorders? Most of us are familiar with bulimia or anorexia, but there are many more. Sue Bowles is our guest this week sharing about how her childhood trauma was the catalyst to her eating disorder, and mental health struggles. Her life was changed forever when she was saved during a Christian rock concert. Find out what her connection is with Rich Mullins and how she told her abuse story for the first time at a retreat. Sue Bowles offers hope for those suffering with eating disorders and trauma. Don't miss this episode.

Bio:

As a childhood rape survivor, twice suicidal, having battled with depression, and in recovery from an eating disorder, my story of struggle, perseverance, and hope speak to audiences on a wide spectrum.We all desire to live authentically yet are often held hostage by fear, especially in dealing with mental health struggles. I break the stigma by openly sharing my story, making it okay to not be okay. By sharing my story, others have permission to take their next step in owning theirs.

My story is a story of hope, the power of reaching out,  and empowerment of living 'my step ahead.'

Sue Bowles is a survivor turned award-winning author, speaker, and Master Certified Professional Coach.She leads My Step Ahead, an organization committed to breaking the stigma around mental health struggles. "You only have to be a step ahead to help the person behind you" is the bedrock to the value Sue brings. She helps stuck people get unstuck by discovering Hope, journeying together for the next step ahead.

Whether speaking on a podcast, stage, or one-on-one, Sue's enthusiasm is contagious, shining the light of hope wherever the listener needs, cheering them to see their dreams become present reality.

I'm continuing Part 9 of my abuse story, covering the wedding, the honeymoon, and the rocky first year of marriage.

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!

https://anchor.fm/brenna-covelens/episodes/Sexual-Harassment--Abusive-Relationships-Pt--1-Featuring-Diana-Winkler-e1678qm/a-a6cssss

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!

BIO: A pastor and an apologetics nerd. Will wanted to start this podcast because of the Church Splits he had both witnessed and experienced. Having experienced first-hand division in the church over topics and issues where Biblical truth was pushed aside for opinions, Will saw a need to show Christians how to use the Bible not only to find truth, but to create unity in the Church. Will loves long-form podcasts and sees Christians craving for deep discussions on topics, pushing past the surface level arguments to truly discern what is the truth and why. What started as just a fun little hobby has turned into a ministry that Will pours his heart into.

Is your church a cult? My guest Will Hess wholeheartedly agrees that The Fundamental Baptist Church (a.k.a The IFB) he was raised in was a cult. He will share the story of how he suffered abuse from within his own family, as well as in his church. In this two part interview, here are the topics we covered this week:

Being raised in an IFB environment, but being abused at home in secret.

The legalistic culture if the IFB, the man made rules and twisting of the Scriptures.

Being bullied by the youth group leaders and college leadership.

The severe dating standards of the college. The inconsistent criteria for "approved workplaces".

How he met his Korean wife and fought against the racism directed at them.

Come listen to Will's powerful story!

How can we be more like Jesus in this world of pain, suffering, and evil? Is it our responsibility as Christians to care for the oppressed? The Rev. Dr. Marcia Ledford guides us in answering these kinds of questions with empathy and compassion.

She once was given an ultimatum by her church to choose between her faith and who she is. She has tirelessly shown Christ's love by fighting for the rights of immigrants, sex trafficked victims, multiple cultures, races, and the LGBT community. She gives us practical advice on how to deal with a family member who has comes out with grace and love. Also, she explains why we shouldn't talk with loved ones about politics and religion. Our interview is filled with powerful storytelling, inspirational scripture verses, and valuable resources to change your community for Christ. A free course is offered for all the listeners!

A Spirituality of Resistance

Great resource for the spirituality of resistance. Roger writes about creation care, but the concepts are applicable to any issue. The spirituality of resistance involves doing the inner work to discover what your passions are. Then you join with others sharing these common goals to work for justice and the greater good.

Be sure to get the latest (third, I think) edition of this wonderful book. It’s about understanding our “embedded” theology, that which we grew up absorbing and believing, 

As we grow up and grow in faith, we often realize that what we’re taught often doesn’t relate to our life. The authors, Stone and Duke are seminary professors. They do a great job writing about how we are all theologians, whether we have a bunch of letters after our names or not. That’s because we all must navigate our society, current events, and or daily life as people of faith. This is a great book for “evangelicals” and those who are “deconstructing” their faith.

Is there a difference between combat PTSD and First Responder PTSD? According to my guest, Norm Wielsch, your body recognizes them as the same thing. In my conversation with Norm, we hear about his father fighting during WWII and losing almost his entire family during the bombings. True to his father's generation and culture, he never spoke about his war trauma. Fast forward to Norm's service as a police officer, when he was diagnosed with a painful disease. We talk about how he went down the slippery slope with painkillers, hiding his condition with fellow police officers, and making poor choices. Find out what happens when he gets sent to prison, the lessons he's learned, and what God was doing in his heart through it all. Norm offers real and practical solutions for those suffering from PTSD.

BIO:

I was a agnostic police officer for over 25-years. I was exposed to many traumatic incidents. I was diagnosed with PTSD. Then I was diagnosed with an incurable debilitating neuro-muscular disease. I had over 25 surgeries in ten years. I was prescribed opioids for the pain. I soon began to abuse the opioids to relieve the negative emotions of PTSD. Then my daughter was diagnosed with liver tumors. This placed me in a downward spiral that led me to make some very poor decisions that led me to a 14-year prison sentence. Though divine intervention, my daughter and I were healed. I spent over 8 years in Federal prison where I taught how God heals PTSD. In prison, I obtained a masters degree in Theology and Counseling, then a doctorate in Christian Counseling. I went on to become a Registered Addiction Counselor, and am in process of becoming a Chaplain with the Assemblies of God Church. If you allow Him to so, God WILL change your mistakes and traumatic events into good. I am a great example of God's love.

When should you leave your church? Perhaps we should be asking God, "Should I stay?" instead. This is the second half of my riveting interview with Pastor Al Desheneau. We hear his story of being a young, green pastor, and pastoring churches filled with stubborn, legalistic people who didn't want to change or be pastored. Pastor Al candidly shares the joys, the trials, the exhaustion, and spiritual abuse that he and his family endured. Hear about the crazy circumstances leading up to his departure from the churches, and how God wonderfully provided for their needs after the exit. Find out about the new exciting ministry that Pastor Al started in the gaming industry! You don't want to miss part two with Pastor Al!

Bio:

“Follower of Jesus, Husband, Father, Preacher, Teacher, Writer, Podcaster, 3D Printer, Dice Maker, Photo-nut, Music-lover, Avid-experimenter, Creative-mess-maker, Tech & Social Media Nerd” I grew up in a Christian home have known Jesus since I was six years old. After a time of teenage rebellion God led me to North American Bible College (Now Taylor College & Seminary) in Edmonton to “figure things out”. There, I rededicated my life to Jesus, met my wife, Anita, and was called him into full-time ministry. Since then I’ve been serving Jesus’ in all areas of church life — tech, sound, graphic design, photography, video editing, small group leader, writer, musician, and of course, preaching and teaching. Whatever it takes to share Jesus and teach scripture in a creative and inspiring way! I’ve been married to Anita since ’97 and they have four children. Some of my other interests include 3D printing, dice making, writing, podcasting, photography, watching cartoons and movies with explosions.

Have you been bullied? Then you must know how it feels to be alone, rejected, and friendless. My guest today is Pastor Al Descheneau, who shares the story of his upbringing in a transient Christian home. As always the new kid in school, he was subjected to frequent bullying and abusive treatment from his school mates. By the time he went to Christian college, he was an angry, antisocial kid who wanted nothing to do with people. Then one day, he had lifechanging break through in his spiritual life which spilled over very quickly into a vibrant social life. Pastor Al talks candidly about his conversations with God, serving the Lord and his calling into pastoral ministry. We have some fun talking about Christian culture, how media choices affects your mood, and cut through the churchy fluff false doctrine. Come hear part one of my my interview with Pastor Al.

La'Trae Wilson

How do you break the generational cycle of abuse? Growing up in Oakland CA, raised in a Christian home as a preacher’s kid, La'Trae Wilson was not sheltered from the realities of life. La'Trae talks openly and honestly how she got involved with many abusive men, including the father of her autistic son. We remember how "Just Say No To Drugs" the 80's slogan affected our lives, and discuss how we can talk to our kids about sex, drugs, and making good choices. Come and hear her story of her high risk pregnancy, how her son stopped breathing several times, and the miracle of his life. This is Part One of a Two Part Series.

Dr. Kelli Palfy

Hollywood and pop culture often give us the impression that men can't be raped or sexually abused. Our guest today, Dr. Kelli Palfy, is here to dispel that myth and to give us the facts gleaned from her vast experience working in correctional facilities, the RCMP, and from her own doctoral research on why males don't report sexual trauma. Dr. Kelli shares about the painful stories of the men that she has interviewed and treated in her practice for her book Men Too: Unspoken Truths About Male Sexual Abuse. We talk about how males experience sexual abuse for the first time during childhood by teachers, coaches, clergy, and immediate family members, and how the abuse continues into adulthood. There is hope and healing for men who have experienced the shame and pain of sexual abuse. She is also writing 3 children's books about sexual abuse you can read to your children. This is a very important episode filled with valuable information on how you can help the male in your life heal.

Men Too: Unspoken Truths About Male Sexual Abuse

https://kellipalfy.com/

kellipalfypsychology@gmail.com

Dr. Kelli Palfy began her professional career working in adult and youth corrections. During that time, she noticed there were a disproportionate number of males in the system. In 1996, she became an RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer and took an interest in investigating sex crimes. She later went on to specialize in sex crimes committed against children internationally, completing all the training needed to become a subject matter expert for the Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) unit in British Columbia, Canada. Here, as she combed through video evidence, she witnessed first-hand the grooming tactics commonly used by sophisticated pedophiles. After retiring from the RCMP, Dr. Palfy obtained her PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She conducted her doctoral research on the reasons why males don't commonly disclose sexual abuse. She is now a trained trauma therapist and public speaker on the topic of male sexual abuse.  She wrote Men Too: Unspoken Truths About Male Sexual Abuse to equip, empower and transform abused boys and men to heal and become who they were born to be.

Dance is a form of expression with the body. Dance can be used for entertainment, exercise, artistic expression, and worship. We have a real treat for you on today's podcast. Our guest is dancer, writer and storyteller Laura Padgett. We had an enjoyable time reminiscing about favorite dance performances, the challenges of dealing with our aging bodies, and healing from trauma.

She also candidly shares her upbringing with an alcoholic parent, her struggle with her mother's death, and forgiveness. We end with the option of using dance as a tool for healing and as a form of worship with our bodies. There was lots of laughter, joy, and even a little sass!

Jimmy Hinton

We continue our conversation with Pastor Jimmy Hinton this week, who had to turn his own father in to the police for pedophilia. Find out the sequence of events after Jimmy's father is arrested and placed in prison with a life sentence. Jimmy describes how pedophiles think and how they abuse and manipulate their victims even from prison. He defines the difference between grooming and testing. We find out why Jimmy calls sexual predators "wolves that will never become sheep". Jimmy talks very bluntly how we can protect our churches and children from predators, which does not include inviting convicted predators back into the church. We finish the conversation with the real requirements for forgiveness, according to Jesus. Do not miss part two of this interview!

The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Gregoire

Bio:

When my sister disclosed to me that our father, a former well-respected minister, had sexually abused her as a child, I made the difficult decision to report. I went into ministry because of the example of my father. He was loved, trusted, and adored by all of us. But he held a very dark secret. He had been sexually abusing young victims for decades. We had no idea. He is now serving a life sentence in prison for sex crimes against children, and this book describes the journey from childhood to the moment I discovered the abuse and reported. My life is now dedicated to researching deception and abuse techniques so I can equip people to see what we all missed. We can intervene and stop abuse before it happens. The Devil Inside will walk you along my journey of discovery, questioning God, and advocacy.

How do you help a girl with a crisis pregnancy? Should you give money to the homeless man on the corner? We will find answers to these questions and more with our guest Suzanne Burns of Foundation House Ministries. Suzanne talks candidly about the inspiration behind starting Foundation House and her own crisis pregnancy. She shares the joys and challenges of running a maternity home: loving those with drug addiction, poverty, and sexual trauma; training the ladies to run a business, and eventually seeing girls come to know the Lord Jesus. We identify what exactly is a poverty mindset and how to get rid of that mentality. We finish the episode with a challenge to The Church and to Christians to become more trauma informed and reach this community with love, compassion and understanding, instead of condemnation. Suzanne's new book The Trauma Informed Church is tentatively scheduled for release April 2021. Sign up for her mailing list to be notified and receive free copies of some of her other resources: The Accidental Social Worker and Five Ways To Strengthen Your Ministry Without Breaking The Bank!

Janell Wood

We’re talking today about skepticism of Christianity, doubts about your faith, abandoning your faith, or never having your own relationship with Jesus at all. My guest today is Janell Wood, host of the podcast "Finding Something Real", which she describes, is for seekers and believers needing encouragement. It's for the believer struggling with faith and the skeptic struggling with doubt. Neither of us are apologetic experts. We are sitting here chatting about this topic to day as sisters in Christ, over our favorite beverage. We don’t have all the answers but we are having a honest, real conversation about why we believe in Jesus. We also talk about how to overcome the fear of sharing your faith with an unbeliever. It is ok to have questions or doubts about what we believe. The point is to talk about these things, don’t ignore them.

Bio:

Dave is an improviser, actor, improv coach, speaker, and credentialed minister. He was born in Chicago, but grew up in southwestern Virginia. Much of his improv and acting ability is attributed to his 8 years as a pro wrestler on the independent circuit in the south. In 2013, after nearly two decades of battling with depression and suicidal ideations, Dave finally made the life-changing decision to pursue God. He says, “At that point, I wrestled with this choice: I could take my life…or I could give my life. I chose to give my life to the Lord.” Most of his life, Dave covered his depression with humor. He used it to make others feel better while disguising how he truly felt inside. Dave often tells his testimony by saying, “I used to use comedy to hide who I was, but now I use comedy to reveal Who He is.” Shortly after deciding to pursue a real relationship with God, Dave relocated back to Chicago in 2013. Through his passion for comedy renewed with a deeper purpose, he founded Well Versed Comedy, an improv comedy ministry team. Doing comedy is his primary passion for reaching people, either to uplift and encourage fellow Christians, or to bring light, laughter, and joy to non-Christians. "Well Versed Comedy is as much a ministry to one another as it is to other people. We love and support one another in our lives, in our pursuits, and in comedy. We hold each other accountable to the Lord so that our individual and our team witness can not be damaged. It's such a joy to share the gift of laughter with the team and with the audience." Well Versed Comedy recently filmed a 5-episode television show called "His Line," a Christian take on the hit improv show "Whose Line is it Anyway?" "His Line" is available on YouTube, 24 Flix streaming service, and The Creative Motion Network channel on Roku. In 2018, Dave was approached by Izabel Olson, the Founder and Director of Salt and Light Coalition, to bring improv classes to the women of Salt and Light. The women who come to Salt and Light are survivors of sex trafficking. Dave has always appreciated the honor of being entrusted, as a man, to be invited to serve at Salt and Light. "The weight and honor of being asked, as a man, to come serve at Salt and Light has never been lost on me. I can only imagine what experiences and hurt these ladies have experienced at the hands of countless men. I take this very seriously. What can improv do for these women who have survived literal hell on earth? Improv can help improve communication, develop self-confidence, and tap into the God-given creativity that exists in all of us. And, if nothing else, these amazing women can laugh like little kids again for an hour a month. That is such a blessing, and if I do nothing else in comedy, this is more than enough." He married his wife Bobbie in June 2015, and they live together in Crest Hill, Ill., with their 3 cats.

ABOUT KEN KEIS

Have you ever found yourself at a place in life where you just didn’t fit? Born and raised expected to take over his family’s dairy farm, Ken is no stranger to radical change and growth. It wasn’t until he owned a farm himself that he woke up one day at the crack of dawn (as usual) and asked himself, “if I did this for the next 20 years, would I be satisfied?” The answer was a resounding and immediate “NO!” Ken decided to take action. It was terrifying. But after an extremely awkward and intimidating conversation with his family–where he had to explain why he was breaking three generations of Eastern European family tradition–he began to pursue his passion in speaking and sales. Ken learned not to let fear hold him in a position where he would ultimately be miserable. It was the first step. Ten years as a sales trainer later, Ken found himself traveling worldwide as a speaker. At first it seemed like he was living the dream: highly sought after, hopping from country to country, bringing in a six-figure salary working for big names like Chrysler. Except that he never saw his wife or kids. And soon, the stress of never taking time off began to take its toll. Once again, Ken found himself in an unsustainable situation. He learned the hard way that what he values most is his family and health… and thankfully was able to make a change before it was too late. He became the leader of Consulting Resource Group, an organization that has helped more than 1 million people in 50,000 organizations worldwide improve employee satisfaction and productivity. Today, Ken’s passion remains leading others to experience the same clarity and joy he did by creating a life of purpose, and empowering leaders to empower others. With more than 4 million written words, 10,000 hours of consulting and speaking experience, and co-authoring of 10 professional development tools, Ken has had a profound impact on the world's leadership landscape for the last 32 years.
