E821 | Hiding Our Hurts

John Eldredge
About this episode

We often endure our deepest hurts and pains in isolation, choosing to just suck it up and pretend all is well rather than risk transparency and asking for help. In this week's podcast, Allen brings to light an issue he's been struggling with in private, how God orchestrated a path to bring others into his suffering, and the process of pursuing healing in both the physical and spiritual realms.

Show Notes: The prayers John referenced—the "Life" Prayer and the Prayer for Breaking Curses—are on the Wild at Heart website and app. Moving Mountains by John Eldredge is available wherever you buy books.
