Allowing Your Past to Strengthen Your Future

Available today on the Friend to Friend Podcast: Episode 14, Allowing Your Past to Strengthen Your Future. Home. A word that for many provokes thoughts of peace, comfort and love. An institution created by God and for God to be seen in our relationships with one another. And yet we know that since the first home in Adam's Garden, sin wreaked havoc and heartache that only continues to perpetuate today. And yet Christ came and will come again, reminding us that the hope of our futures do not lie in an upbringing untouched by hurt or sin. Our hope lies in Christ and in his ability to redeem and restore sinners. Join me as my guest, Lara Harrison, shares how her past, touched by an alcoholic father and divorce, affected her relationship with God and how God met her in the hard places of bitterness and jealousy.  We discuss how her broken home as a child both hindered and helped her desire to have a home of her own and how God has used brokenness to strengthen her marriage and home for the better, today.
