Happy 4th of July!

Thank YOU for being a vital Liberated Living Counseling team member and helping others experience true freedom in Christ!

ISAIAH 61:1 ESV

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.

JOHN 8:36 ESV

So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

ROMANS 8:1-4 ESV

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

GALATIANS 5:1 ESV

5 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

This is what we call – LIBERATED LIVING!

INTENSIVE IMPACT REPORT

I finally had an opportunity to catch my breath, collect my thoughts, and share some highlights from our June 2-4th weekend intensive.

It Never Grows Old

I love seeing expressions of surprise, gratitude, and tears when I tell clients that people pray for them during their counseling sessions and weekend intensives.

Ordinary to Extraordinary

God Uses The Ordinary to Accomplish The Extraordinary!

1. Home-cooked Meals. Rachael and I love to offer our guests opportunities to sample the local cuisine, which never disappoints. However, here is nothing like fellowshipping around the dinner table while eating one of Rachael's delicious home-cooked meals. God used his simple setting to offer our guests relevant insights and tangible takeaways as Rachael shared aspects of her emotional, relational, and spiritual health journey.

2. Tranquil Settings. Our guests encountered a wide range of emotions during the weekend intensive. Just as location plays a significant role when selling a house, the session setting is critical for an intensive to be effective. God used the quiet countryside setting of our backyard and the picturesque landscape and walking trails in Mount Gretna to de-escalate any sense of defensiveness and deflection while offering an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth.

3. Casual Conversations. A client once told me, "Jerry, your counseling sessions are like a meaningful conversation with a trusted friend over a cup of coffee." In this safe, grace-filled environment, God replaced feelings of guilt, shame, condemnation, and anxiety with His forgiveness, love, grace, mercy, and security. I is mind-blowing to watch God work through the our casual conversations (sessions) during the intensive to renew the minds and transform the lives of our guests (Romans 12:2).

The Power of Prayer

Thank you for joining us on the battlefield and engaging the enemy through your prayers.

We praise God for answered prayer and blessing our guests with a renewed hopefulness and vision for their marriage and family.

At the conclusion of our time together, our guests scheduled an additi nal ten sessions and expressed an interest in making the weekend intensive an annual event!

Rachael and I were blessed by your prayer support and encouraging emails and text messages!
