How to Process the Pain - PGMTV episode 452
Testimonies:
Terry: In this testimony, Terry shares how his life took a devastating turn after experimenting with drugs, leading to years of addiction, isolation, and broken relationships. After reaching a breaking point, he came to Pacific Garden Mission seeking help and entered the New Day recovery program, where the early days of withdrawal were difficult but marked the beginning of real change.
Tim: In this testimony, Tim shares how a life that once appeared stable, with a career, family, and church involvement, gradually unraveled after a painful divorce and a return to alcohol, leading to deep depression, broken relationships, and eventually homelessness. Though he had been involved in church for years, Tim explains that it was at PGM that he truly learned what it means to surrender to Christ, grow in humility, and understand God’s love in a personal way.
Sermon: “How to Process the Pain”: In this sermon, Pastor Phil continues the theme of forgiveness by addressing the deeper issue of unresolved wounds and how they lead to bitterness if left unhealed.
