Loss

Living in a broken world guarantees that we will all encounter trauma in our lives. We may experience it in varying degrees, but trauma affects each and every one of us as we navigate broken relationships, challenging experiences, and other harsh realities of life. However, trauma doesn’t have to define our stories. There is hope beyond trauma and ways to overcome it.

Overcoming Trauma

People hurt us. And we harden our hearts to protect ourselves. Plans fail. Tragedy comes unexpectedly. In the face of disappointment, we can quickly lose hope and begin to believe God has forgotten us. But He hasn't and He won't. Let this five-day series with Andrew and Wendy Palau refresh your soul—God is FOR you, and His plans for you are good!

My husband of 53.5 years died in 2017 and before death, he had several losses.  In the last few years, I have learned to not allow any loss to consume me. God showed me that ‘death does not own me,’ and 'loss does not have to own you!’ In this study learn that when loss comes you can conquer it, by reaching out beyond yourself and trusting God.

Written by a pastor and bereavement specialist, you'll discover how to identify the enemy's tactics, use your spiritual weapons effectively, and stand firm in the truth that this loss won't destroy you.
