At Chronic Hope + Healing, we believe that both process and breakthrough exist on the healing journey. Katia Adams, states in “The Anatomy of a Breakthrough" that “Miracles are progressive, not exceptional. We make a mistake in the anatomy of breakthrough, because we believe we won’t need many miracles on our journey. Each miracle builds to the next one. You will need a lifetime of miracles. Some of us get tired and frustrated because we thought the first one was going to be it. But the first one builds to the second, the second to the third, etc.”

Come to Unleash and be in process with us as we seek God for the next miracle in your life. (Link in bio)

As we reflect on what we did or didn’t receive in childhood, we come to understand that no parent is perfect. Our parents can offer these attributes to the degree that they were given them or that they have healed from what they did not receive. These six qualities for healthy relationships serve as gentle indicators of areas where healing is still needed—healing that can take place within the safety of healthy, supportive relationships. Chronic Hope + Healing offers group healing intensives to help people to recover what was lost in childhood. Check out link in bio!

Adam Young describes the healing power of sharing your story with safe, empathic listeners in his Podcast, “The Place We Find Ourselves.” When we share our stories with others, it helps connect the left hemisphere of our brains (thoughts about our story) to our right hemisphere (emotions about our story). This leads to whole brain integration by connecting all parts of your brain together. Come share your story with us at the next Unleash!

A secondary gain is a perceived advantage that accompanies chronic physical or psychological symptoms. In other words, we may consciously or subconsciously hold onto certain symptoms in our lives, because they are “doing something” for us - or at least we think they are. Go before God in prayer and ask Him to illuminate any secondary gains that may be present in conjunction with your chronic symptoms. The first step is awareness!

John Welwood coined the term “spiritual bypassing” to describe our tendency to use spiritual practices or ideas to avoid facing unresolved emotional pain, psychological issues, or developmental trauma. In the Christian community, it is important to be aware of this tendency, because it can block us from walking in freedom. Exploring our stories and facing our grief is a prerequisite to healing. Instead of avoiding your pain, come to an Unleash to process through it in community and find the healing you are longing for.

“According to neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf , your mind is made up of your thoughts, emotions, and choices, while your brain is the physical organ inside your head. What’s fascinating is that your mind—your ability to think, feel, and choose—can actually reshape the physical structure of your brain. How hopeful is that? You’re not stuck with an unchangeable brain.

You have the power to grow, adapt, and transform. Even more amazing: no one else thinks, feels, or chooses exactly like you do. That makes you 100% unique—there’s no need for comparison. Your unique mind matters. The world needs your way of thinking, feeling, and choosing to make it a better place.”

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
- Romans 5:3-5

Join us on October 12th (link in bio) to continue to process how we can allow the suffering we face in this life to form us into people of Hope.

I was grateful and curious.

Grateful: for the six months of attempting block-removal between God’s Spirit and mine which, after many steps-forward-then-back moments, led to feeling His love for me once again, not in a fleeting way, but in a settled way.

Curious: because the relief from feeling suffocated by the separation between us didn’t come with any one moment, prayer, or act of faith. Each concrete step was bookended by gaps of mystery, inexplicable and unquantifiable, but clearly, fruitful (see “Grateful,” above).

So I asked Him, “What was it? How did this season of healing happen for me this time around?”

He replied, “Your ability to feel my love moves at the pace of your surrender.”

“I don’t understand. I’ve been trying to surrender, so that I can be healed of this feeling of being cut off from you in some parts of me.”

“Trying to surrender, for you, still looks like striving to do the right things. For you, My Beloved, my invitation is to let ME do what only I can do, without your motive of trying. That is the surrender I was waiting with you for.”

I don't understand fully, but I am yielding to this invitation. Perhaps, today, it is making a difference.

How do we posture our hearts when God doesn’t heal us in the way we desire? Jeremiah 2:13 says, “for my people have done two evil things: they have abandoned me - the fountain of living water. And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all.”

When we experience suffering, we are faced with the choice to lean into God or turn away from Him. In Jeremiah, the Israelites abandoned God and sought after water from broken, leaking vessels that could never satisfy their thirst, nor hold water.

We live in a world full of places where we can turn to nearly anything we desire to fill those aching spaces in our souls. When God doesn’t heal us in the ways we want, He invites us to come to Him in our weariness, throwing ourselves at His feet to receive true, lasting comfort.

Whether we are healed or not, the invitation from God is to keep close to Him, knowing that He Himself is a man of sorrows and suffering. He understands all aspects of our pain. Where in your suffering may God be inviting you to turn away from dried up, cracked cisterns, to drink The Water that gives life?

Come to God Heals to continue this conversation with people who are right where you are (link in bio).

Does God heal? We know this is a loaded question! In the Old Testament, God defines Himself and His character as, “Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals” (Exodus 15:26). The prophet Isaiah prophesied that Jesus came to “bind up the broken hearted and heal all their wounds” (Isaiah 61:1).

We know that the very essence, nature, and character of God is healing. That is not where the wrestle lies though, is it? The struggle is present because there are times in our lives where we beg, plead, and cry out for God to heal us or those we love and He doesn’t- at least not in our timing or the way we hoped He would.

When God doesn’t heal in the way we would like, it breaks our heart. Questions arise around His goodness and character. Underneath those questions are deep laments and grief. The reality that God does heal AND He doesn’t always in the manner that we would like Him to is a part of the great tension we experience as Christ-followers.

We invite you to sit in that tension today. Where have you seen God heal you or others? What area of your life are you still hoping to see healing that has not yet been realized?

Because we’re a group who presses deeply into God’s healing, our conversations land frequently in the fields of “How does deep, enduring, inner healing happen?”

We don’t claim to have ALL the answers; only God does. However, we’ve learned that there are some specific ingredients which are clues to begin answering that question, and which increase our faith to keep going to him with all of our pain and unhealed parts.

The first ingredient is, simply, the presence of God.

It may lead to a “duh” response if you’re a believer in him. Yet, if we’re completely honest, we often pursue his healing without creating time + space in our hearts, in our lives, for his presence to touch the parts of us which we want to be transformed. His presence, hosted by surrendered hearts, is what can change anything, at any moment.

We have experienced that Jesus is the One who, when present with us, brings good news to the poor, comforts the brokenhearted, proclaims liberty to those who are held captive, and opens the doors that keep people imprisoned (Isaiah 61:1). When we let our pain usher in his presence, that is what can make all the difference in our pursuit of healing.

At Chronic Hope + Healing, we’re eager to create that space with you, both through God’s word and through a community of people who believe that he is “the Sun of Righteousness who will rise with healing in his wings” (Malachi 4:2).

Join us, as we make space for God’s presence to change something that needs to shift, on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at the God Heals Conference (in-person in Denver and online everywhere else).

Over the years, we’ve observed that healing occurs in two main ways: breakthrough moments and longer processes.

Breakthrough moments are moments in time when something clicks in our minds and “we get it.” Something shifts. We notice a difference in how we engage in a specific circumstance, think about something, or how we interact with the world around us.

Process healing is the messy, hard-fought healing that occurs over a prolonged period of time. We don’t necessarily notice a major change right away, but like a seedling sprouting up from the ground, inch by inch, day by day, we are growing.

People often experience a breakthrough moment that leads to a longer process of walking out their healing, or they experience a longer process that leads to a breakthrough moment where they feel an identifiable change.

Both types of change exist on the healing journey. What have you noticed about both process and breakthrough healing on your journey?
