Empowering Women Leaders in Church Revival and Movements with Dr. Eddie Hyatt

We can’t always control what happens to us. But we can discover how to heal the hidden hurt it leaves behind.If you’re like many of us, you carry a weight of buried pain. Despite looking put together on the outside, you feel secretly fractured within. While you appear strong and resilient on the outside, inside a storm brews of all the ways you’ve been hurt or harmed. Not knowing what to do with your suffering and fearing you'll be hurt again, you’ve learned to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within.It doesn’t have to be this way. In Healing What’s Within, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites you on a compassionate journey inward to return and retune to the life God created you to live. Along the way, you will discover how to:-Gently consider and confront what’s keeping you stuck and blocking the path to joy and flourishing-Better understand the relationship between your body and your emotions-Experience God as a compassionate witness to your trauma―and his unconditional kindness to wherever you find yourself-Discover real rest and renewal as you reconnect with God, others, and yourself.It’s never too late to start healing. God’s heart is always ready to help you find your way Home.Chuck Degroat is a Jesus follower, husband to Sarah, dad to two amazing daughters, professor, therapist and author of several books including When Narcissism Comes to Church: Healing Your Community From Emotional and Spiritual Abuse.

Doug Stroup from Make It Clear Studios discusses how he overcame a traumatic brain injury and how God has used his story and perseverance to bring about other's stories through film. From dealing with sex trafficking, to bullying and teen suicide, Doug's heart to bring hard topics to the screen to help others is inspiring. After a prolific career in the film industry, Stroup suffered a cycling accident that left him unable to walk, talk, or drive for almost three years. It was a dark and difficult time in his life, but, like most of Stroup’s films, he found strength from God and a community of fellow believers.“When you have a traumatic brain injury, you don’t know what you’re doing,” he said. “You don’t even know who you are. I felt God was done with me, not because of His lack of ability to use me, but because of my lack of ability to be used, because my brain didn’t work for literally almost three years.”As bills mounted and he worked to regain his ability to think clearly, “Samaritan Ministries came through every step of the way,” Stroup stated. Today, Make It Clear Studio releases award-winning films and series that help to shed light on some of the struggles that Christians face in the modern world. The BasketBall Movie and SaltFlix are two endeavors Doug has developed in 2024.

John and I speak about his journey with Jesus and how he learned about the Father's heart. John's visits to heaven and subsequent visitations from Jesus highlight how relational our God is. John does an amazing job of explaining how emotional healing and forgiveness is a process. Untangling our emotions with the Lord leads to the ultimate freedom. John and Barbara Fenn were born in Kokomo, Indiana and grew up just a few miles from each other. They began dating as teenagers and were born again together and baptized with the Holy Spirit at age 16. Each attended Indiana University after graduating high school and were then married in 1978.Their first year of marriage they worked for the PTL Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, learning a lot about how to do and not to do ministry!

In December of 2000 John was asked to become the Canadian National Director for WLI.After starting The Church Without Walls International, John severed ties with Peter Wagner and Global Harvest, as they were moving in different directions.It seems that over 37+ years of walking with the Lord and in ministry, the Lord has allowed John and Barb to be associated with various ministries before they started getting off balance, then moving them on, taking the best part of things learned with them.John is the author of “Pursuing the Seasons of God” and ‘We welcome you to follow along at Instagram @heathervshore or Facebook @heathervshorewriter.

Dirk Smith, of EEM, and I discuss how God is using the Bible to bring transformation to the people of Ukraine and surrounding Communist countries. The stories of how embracing the Bible have given hope to the hopeless is awe inspiring. We discuss how God can change nations through his word and what could happen if this was embraced in the West.  Eastern European Mission, announced its goal achievement in the Bibles for Kids campaign of delivering more than 570,000 Bibles to kids in Eastern Europe in 2024 - bringing the total over the last three years to more than 1.7 million Bibles in 19 different languages to nations like Hungary, Croatia, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Romania and Albania. “It's crucial that we engage kids with the Gospel while they are young,” said EEM Vice President Dirk Smith. “As we are experiencing here in the West, it’s much more difficult to build a Christ-centered character if someone isn’t reached with the message of Jesus until their later teen years.”   To learn more about Bibles for Kids, visit www.eem.org/bfk. Churches, ministries, mission points, and schools from Central and Eastern Europe can request free Bibles at https://eemeurope.org/our-books/.  We welcome you to follow along at Instagram @heathervshore or Facebook @heathervshorewriter.

Several years after leaving the IFB in his 20s, Ryan discovered his father had sexually molested one of his sister’s friends when she was a child. Then almost ten years later he listened to podcast episode detailing more abuse and coverup and based on his mother’s reaction, he realized his father was a serial sexual abuser with a harmful pattern of abuse going back decades.For the past 25 years, Ryan was forced to examine deeply ingrained beliefs – including ideas around consent and abuse – and reevaluate what he truly believes. While he left the dangerous fundamental theology, Ryan didn’t walk away from Jesus, reconstructing his faith and attending (a non-abusive) church, where his wife is on staff. In his new book, Hurt and Healed by the Church: Redemption & Reconstruction After Spiritual Abuse (April 12), Ryan exposes how abuse is built into the fabric of American churches, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
