It’s no surprise that in this world we will experience pain inflicted on us by others. Many of us have been victimized by significant circumstances caused by other people in our life. The enemy would like nothing more than to convince us that this has become our identity - and even our destiny for the future. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack and combat that lie - helping us understand that though we may have been victimized, our identity is not as a “victim” but rather a victor! What does it look like to walk victoriously?
Sometimes in life we can see and feel the wreckage inside of and surrounding us. And to those on the outside looking in, it can seem obvious that something needs to change in us, but it still doesn’t happen.

In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack some reasons that might cause us to avoid the necessary steps toward healing.

Celebrate Recovery is not just for the ones that caused the hurt, but for those who have received hurt from others as well. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack the importance of creating a healthy and safe space for any and all walking through life hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
