Keep going, Dr. Phinney! As soon as I have some funds beyond survival, I will put your ministry at the top of my list to donate, next to my own local church. You do good work.

Thank you for giving us practical steps to come out of this preeminent darkness into the light of the “real deal” love of Jesus Christ❣️. Your explanation of a very real problem we all face as Christians is so clear and easy to understand. God bless you and give you grace and wisdom to continue this ministry❣️🍒

Betrayal is such a common and real traumatic experience most of us experience. I know how difficult it is to express in words the reality of the hurt - but this subject must be handled!

Betrayal itself is a temptation, an open door to all kinds of demonic evil. Jesus faced the temptation of long-term, chronic betrayal, yet without sin. So, it must be available to overcome this temptation. It is available to learn to love the unlovable, to love instead of lashing out, or succumbing to misery. The flesh is not sufficient for this, but God's love in your heart, expressed via the power of holy spirit is more than sufficient. Remembering who you are in Christ can be the beginning of deliverance!
