Healing in Women (Part 2) w/ Heather Khy...

This week, Jake and Bob welcome Heather Khym, co-host of the Abiding Together Podcast (and Jake's wife), to conclude their series on healing in women. Heather shares about the long, hidden season of raising young children, how God was using that time to quietly form her heart in prayer, and why she is grateful for that time of formation now that she ministers to women on a larger scale. They also talk about the two most common wounds women carry, how the enemy seeks to twist women's self-perception, and why Scripture is so important in combating those lies. 

Key Points:

• Hidden, ordinary seasons of life are not wasted; God often works in the quiet places.
• Many women carry a deep grief in seasons of waiting, whether for marriage, children, or a sense of calling that has not yet come to fruition.
• The betrayal of pornography and loss of safety in a relationship are two of the deepest and most common wounds women carry today.
• The enemy's goal is to convince us that God is not safe, leading us to isolate ourselves from the very One who can heal us. 
• Holding the truth of Scripture up against the lies we believe exposes the work of the enemy.
• Healing is often a choice between two narratives. The lie often feels easier to believe because of our wounds. 
• Security in the Father's love frees us to be vulnerable in friendship, even knowing we may be hurt again. 
• Communion with God in the ordinary moments of life is available to everyone; it simply takes practice.
