Releasing The Guards Pt. 4 - Firm Foundation

B.L.I.F. Network presents Firm Foundation with our host Evangelist Owen Bruce. Our special guest once again will be Christopher J. Gooden, who was sexually assaulted over a one year period when he was just 9 years old. Christopher candidly tells his life story in his book "Releasing The Guards: Choosing To Heal From Sexual Abuse". In Part 4 of this series Christopher will share more about how to cross over the bridges to the past to deal with the negative emotions and hurts and how to leave them behind. In his book Christopher states, “The emotions from my abuse were like a cancerous growth, slowly eating away at my mind, body, and soul.” Christopher's story shows that no matter how bad the pain of the past may be, healing is always possible if you are willing to take the right steps. Christopher's message is clear, don't allow your past to rob you of the future that God has for you! “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus..” (Philippians 3:13-14, ESV)
