After we name the pain we can begin the process of healing and wholeness. This process involves letting grief and all his friends stay for a while and letting our brokenness exist in the silence of Gods Presence.

Mary Van Geffen is an international parenting coach for overwhelmed moms of strong-willed & spicy children.
Based in Southern California, Mary helps moms (over the phone or on FaceTime to) gain confidence to choose gentle, respectful parenting especially if they weren’t raised that way.
She has a ministry on Instagram where she posts an inspiring parenting tip every single day. Just reading her social media will help you delight in your child and remember that you are enough.
Mary believes that when a mom realizes how hard she is on herself and cracks the door open for some self-compassion, her entire family is bathed in light!
Mary is a certified Simplicity Parenting Counselor® and Professional Co-Active Coach®.
Her greatest achievement, however, is cultivating a calm, kind and firm relationship with her spirited go-getter daughter (now 17), polar-opposite introverted son (14) and un-Enneagramable hubby.
Mary is an absolute blast and I cannot wait for you to listen to her!

Leaving a church community for any reason is painful and when it involves conflict it is even worse.
Sadly this leaves the person who left feeling isolated, abandoned, and alone.

We all live by a varying number of different stories we tell ourselves. These stories are not always kind, true, or helpful. When we experience pain, hurt, or rejection we need to pay even more attention to the stories within us. This can lead to incredible healing and transformation or continue the cycle of pain and disappointment.

We are dropping some "mini" episodes every other week in between our regular conversations that are intended to give you a roadmap for the healing journey.
Church hurt happens all the time but what happens afterwards? How do you restore your heart and stay committed to Jesus and His bride?
We believe that the church will only become who she is meant to be if those who've been wounded heal and STAY. We hope these conversations help you do that.
