Many Christians have a hard time connecting with Heavenly Father because of past hurts in the church and with their own flawed, human fathers. This has created a sort of father wound crisis in the church that can affect families for generations.

Listen in and soak in Truth from the Word of God, about the Father's Love and His desire to walk with you to healing and a right perspective on His Good nature and His unconditional love.

If you struggle to connect with God and often feel overloaded with guilt and shame, this epsisode is for you! Take just a few minutes and tune in for insight and encouragement. There is no doubt: healthy parents raise healthy children. Invest in your own spiritual healing and it will spill over to bless your children and grandchildren!

I pray this episode is an encouragement to you. If you have any questions about this topic, please reach out. You can contact me by visiting my website at karenferg.com
