I want to share a video set with you I recently watched. In it, I found another layer of freedom. The interview was done on the Shawn Ryan Show with Victor Marx. It’s in three parts on YouTube. I believe that you can find Shawn Ryan’s podcast in other places as well. I will say that …

What a Healing Path Looks Like
When you are in the healing process, there may be times that the progress that you have made can look like it disappeared. This is not true. Anxiety sneaks in and takes your breath away. Sadness comes in a moment and tells you that it’s going to stay. Identity lies can trickle back in and …
Praise
On the roadmap to healing, one of the greatest keys to healing for me has been praise. This along with prayer holds great power. As I mentioned in the last post, I have received much healing and release in praise and worship. Worship isn’t just for church on Sunday mornings. This is for your everyday. …

Freedom Carriers
I was on a walk and anxious feelings had been pressing in. I was talking to the Lord about it, and asking questions, as I often do. Then I heard, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” I had heard this verse so many times, but God chose that day to bring …
Heroes of Old, Today
People often think of men and women in the bible as somehow being some kind of supernatural beings. We can think of them as being stronger, wiser, as if they just had it more together than we do. Like, a burning bush is all in a day’s journey, or cutting off a giant’s head routine. …
Healing in Surrender
I remember when I would be praising in church, and a thought would hit me and knock me out of that place of focus on the Lord. Suddenly, I would feel shame and the need to pull away and hide. My arms that had been raised would come down, and inside the battle went. Sometimes …
