In this episode, Jake and Bob speak with Renee Lemire, a podcast listener who used Dr. Bob’s book, “Be Restored” as a guide for a personal healing retreat that led to tremendous healing. Her story has aspects that are common to us all, and we pray that this gives you hope that healing in your own life is possible and doesn’t need to be costly or complicated.
Key Quote:
“And they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.” - Matthew 14:36
Key Points:
- Renee shares how she went from a destructive party lifestyle in highschool to finding comfort in the Church and ultimately experiencing an encounter with Jesus at Florida State University that changed her life
- After the initial conversion of her heart, Renee experienced a feeling of disintegration that she needed healing in other areas of her life
- “Be Restored” gave Renee words to understand her wounds and what needed to be healed
- Renee shares the origin of the wounds in her identity as a daughter
- Renee recounts her experience of going on a personal retreat and using Dr. Bob’s book as a guide to healing
- Renee shares insight into what she tangibly did during her retreat and how she let the Holy Spirit lead
Practical Application:
- Ask the Holy Spirit to be your guide in the healing process.
- Consider taking time out of the year ahead to use “Be Restored” as a guide for personal healing.
- If you can’t take a day of time to conduct a personal retreat, simply read through “Be Restored” at home.
