10. The Gateway to Healing

One of the reasons we find healing so elusive is that we refuse to engage the heartaches of our lives.  It can seem un-American or even un-Christian to look upon the past in a negative light.  However, this is exactly how Scripture beacons us to grow...by first going into our suffering.

In this episode we will explore Jesus' words, "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted."  Rather than referring to a few sad moments in our lives, Jesus is revealing that a crucial part of being human is to mourn the evils around us and in us, both present and past. What Psychologists are finding is what Jesus knew - healing comes when our tears are seen and held.
