Podcast Topic:
I MATTER TO GOD

God having all the power in the universe means nothing to our healing if He doesn’t care about us.

How can we learn to trust God with our lives if we don’t believe we matter to Him?

In the first episode of our series on The Journey of Healing, we discussed the need to realize we’re not God and that we’re unable to control our own behaviors and struggles. Once you truly realize that, you’re left empty without seeking God. If you can’t rely on yourself or your distractions to make things better, it will require a personal relationship with Jesus to begin the healing process.

In this  Brookwood Church Care Ministries podcast, I’m joined by fellow Brookwood Church pastors, Gene Beckner and Doug Wildman to discuss the second of 8 principles used in Celebrate Recovery and the Landing. These principles, developed by Saddleback Church, are drawn from the words of Christ spoken in the Sermon on the Mount, so they can be used to strengthen your walk with Jesus even if you’ve never attended one of these ministries.

The second principle reads:

Earnestly believe that God exists,
that I matter to Him, and
that He has the power to help me recover.*
     “Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)

The Brookwood Ministries Podcast is officially available through the church website, the Brookwood Church App, iTunes, and your device’s podcast app. Episodes from Care Ministries (including this series) are posted on our Facebook Page.
