Summary

From a past of pain and hurt Reed realized he needed healing.

His first wife left him after twenty years. He then found out that she had had several extramarital affairs.

Completely devastating. And left him with 5 kids to raise on his own.

Now, God be praised. He is remarried -- his wife is utterly wonderful. They had a really good marriage.

But he realized, the areas of his marriage that were not fully there around intimacy had to do with his woundedness from the past.

He is in full-time ministry and heard God encourage him to take the program for himself. Not for others -- but he needed healing.

And as he did the work of the program, his heart healed and his marriage did to -- in the ways he didn't even realize it was lacking.

I want to share his story because -- you might be like Reed.

Maybe you've done the right things for a LONG time... and you are hurt. And you are wounded. And you have rightfully, steadfastly done the good work.

And yet...

I want you to have hope through Reed's story. He not only shares his story -- but he also shares his process for healing. He gives lots of practicals!

He started by taking the free course: Masculinity Reclaimed: Foundations (starting again Sept 12, 2022) -- and then decided to go forward with the full 3 month program.

I am excited for you to get inspired by Reed's heart for the Lord and for his marriage and intimacy shifts because of the healing God brought in his heart.

Love & Blessings,

Belah

0:25.3	Thank you for joining.
0:26.9	I'm hoping that you're having a good day and that this story would encourage you.
0:32.1	Because the thing about Reed's story is it really has to do with healing.
0:37.3	Healing on himself. And that is what shifted things
0:40.7	between he and his wife because he realized I've got healing to do I've I've been hurt so often it's
0:48.9	easy to see the woman is hurt and it's true I mean, that's definitely the case. But when we realize that we
0:56.7	ourselves are bringing hurt into the relationship, then that's not a safe place for our spouse either,
1:06.3	because the old adage, I heard this many years ago, and it has just really served me well since hearing it,
1:14.5	but it's this quote that says, hurt people, hurt people. So if you're hurt, you're going to hurt
1:21.5	others. You might not even realize you're hurt, and you just lash out from your own pain.
1:32.1	It's like an animal who's wounded and somebody gets close to that wound and man, they're going to get bit. So I really love Reed's comments
1:38.4	around his own healing journey that had to happen. And he gives some really good specifics on what happened
1:45.7	when he looked at those things head on and really listen to God's spirit to tell him,
1:53.0	you need to work on some things on your own. And I love that he's in ministry, but as a leader,
2:04.6	it's often the case that where do you go for help? Where do you get a place for healing and guidance even and community around these really tough topics?
2:15.4	So that's what Reed's story is about. And just a reminder,
