My guests, Brad and his wife, Jennifer Moodie share their own story of brokenness and redemption in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Disclaimer from Jen, "We are grateful for how God worked in our marriage, we would never advocate for a victim to stay with the abuser nor for them to work through any of it alone, but to seek professional help and support. That forgiveness doesn’t equal lack of accountability nor does it necessitate reconciliation without repentance, and repentance takes time to see, and trust to be rebuilt." Please keep this in mind as you listen to this story. This is not s "template" but simply a story of 2 broken sinners that God chose in His grace to redeem. But the implications in understanding the Gospel and proper Theology are endless in this story. Listen carefully and take note!! And see the truth the Gospel and Christ redeems even the most dire of circumstances. He is our Hope and our Redemption! Look To Christ! Show notes : Guest: Brad and Jennifer Moodie of Rothschild, WI.

In this second part of a 2 part discussion on spiritual reconciliation and restoration, my guest and I discuss what reconciliation and restoration should look like biblically, how it often looks when done poorly, and practical steps those who have been abused can take to deal with those that have abused them.

Since 2018, he has been the founder and president of Divine Initiative which is a global counseling ministry that focuses on helping those who have experienced or are experiencing spiritual abuse as well as Religious Trauma Syndrome. Jeff was genuinely converted to Christ when he was 20 years old in 1985 while sitting at work meditating on Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (NASB95) Besides being a theological Reformed follower of Christ, he is currently working on two books, one dealing with spiritual abuse and the other with spiritual restoration that he hopes to have available on Amazon by the end of 2024. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife of 23 years, Adriane; his son Ian and his daughter Sydney; dirt biking, swimming, listening to music and playing chess and other board games.
