How I Forgave What I'll Never Forget

As Chirstians, we know why we should forgive. It's how that often eludes us. Wendy knows from personal experience that healing from something traumatic rarely occurs overnight. And that God doesn't condemn the brokenhearted when their pain isn't overcome in a single church-program-bound.

For deep wounds, a measure of healing often  precedes the ability to forgive. In this teaching, she spiritully inspires and emotionally equips women to rise to the challenge of yielding to God, who authors that process. 

You can walk freely through the prison doors of "I've tried, but I can't forgive." Founded on Isaiah 61:1, the process of forgiveness she lives and shares, is a cup of cool water to those weary from trying. Her teaching reveals:

• the difference between a wound and an offense
• the role God's timing plays in forgiveness
• five human reactions to deep hurt and betrayal with biblical examples of each
• the importance of identifying and confessing sinful reactions to hurt and betrayal
• the true nature of God, who can be trusted with our pain

Reality Bites: Overcoming Heartbreaks and Painful Memories

"I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you" (Luke 10:18 NKJV).

Snakes and scorpions bite and sting. In this teaching, the "snake bite" represents harmful circumstances; the actual attack from the enemy, while the "scorpion sting" represents the memory of the bite.

In Christ, we have power to walk above our pasts. We can't change history, but we don't have to live the rest of our lives trapped underneath painful events or the memories of them. Wendy has biblically principled, practical answers to the following questions:

• What is the Biblical meaning of protection vs. the human definition?
• Why do we at times appear to be unprotected when Scripture assures us that in Christ we are?
• How do we step into the fullness of divine protection and walk in victory regardless of our circumstances?

This teaching includes writing assignments and is perfect for small groups.

Follow Me!

Jesus said to Peter and Andrew, "Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. (Matthew 4:19-20 NIV)

Discern between a busy Christian walk and a commissioned Christian follow. One leads to exhaustion and burn-out, the other brings light to a dark world. Wendy helps women to:

• identify what their "net" represents
• know the difference between busyness and yielding to God's agenda for each day
• understand the priority of living the Beatitudes at home before "going out into the world"
• guard against the downfall of a Christian walk that lacks follow

Journey with Wendy and discover:

• a unique perspective to the process of forgiving a traumatic experience
• a validating, comforting God, who never minimizes human suffering
• how the broken-hearted unknowingly refuse their own repair
• renewed hope in who God created you to be

The Jonah Chronicles is perfect for:

• those who are bound to perpetual heartache
• believers with friends or family members who are consumed by their pain
• churches who want their staff to be more affective in addressing deep wounds
