From This Writer’s Heart
In this writing, I want to start to introduce you to why I need the unresolved podcast and blog, and why I am doing these weekly writings. I want you to know where I am coming from, and the direction I feel I need to make as I move forward in this adventure.
I am going to get real with you about some of my struggles. I am willing to be vulnerable and let you peek into my heart, not to say “look at me”, but “maybe you can relate.” I want to minister to you and point the way through these types of struggels. Right now, my issues lie with mental focus, caused by stress in my mind, in my heart, and some struggles in body as well. These struggles seem amplified when I think about when they come all at once. The issues are unresolved, and need to be worked through. It is a process.
My goal for 2018 in these writings is twofold. I want to admit, name, and work through blockages from the past and present that are holding me back from knowing and sharing God’s love. The other goal is to help others move beyond their struggles and move into victory, assurance, and peace.
If you are a Christian, I hope these writings minister to you and help you grow closer to Jesus and to all He wants to do in your life. Whatever is holding us back needs to be brought out into the open. Jesus is not a crutch. He is a strong, capable, caring friend. He will help you deal with it all.
If are not a Christian, I pray that you would be challenged to consider a life of commitment to know and grow in Jesus, and consider His claims on your life. I want us all of us to know more of God’s love.
Let’s take this journey together and ultimately gain the victory, joy, and peace on the other side of the struggle. I am here for you if I can help. I know many would say the same thing.
Pastor John
