Coaching you through a challenge
Usually there’s an even deeper factor behind the issue I’m probing. For example, perhaps their fear is rooted in the rejection they felt from their father. They can’t risk going deeper with their teammates because it touches that unhealed wound.
But life change only happens as the status quo is challenged. And this is an especially important principle to embrace when the status quo has been built around a lie. If you believe a lie like, “I am stronger when I keep the hard parts of my life secret than I would be if others knew my junk,” then you need someone to call you out.
We must be ready to face the areas where others have hurt us or we’ll continue the broken behavior that has resulted. We will never be effective ministers until we’ve dealt with our own junk. We can go and have a good time, but we need to experience healing before we can help heal.
comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face.
All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll
never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help
you come through it.” (1 Cor. 10:13)
