Here is a recap of today
Today was nothing short of inspiring as we celebrated Women’s International Day of Prayer—a day filled with faith, unity, and the undeniable presence of God. The atmosphere was vibrant as women, dressed in beautiful colors, led the service with confidence and grace. Their voices filled the room in worship, their leadership set the tone, and their unity in Christ was felt by everyone in attendance.
The highlight of the day was the powerful message shared by Dr. Kellmen, who spoke about healing in marriage, forgiveness, and personal restoration. She reminded us that true healing isn’t just about moving on—it’s about becoming whole again. When we embrace healing, we show up as our best selves in every aspect of life.
But here’s the question—how do we truly heal? How do we navigate the pain of broken relationships, unresolved hurt, and the struggles that come with forgiveness?
Stay with us as we dive deeper into these questions in an exclusive interview with Dr. Kellmen, where we’ll uncover the path to healing, wholeness, and faith-driven transformation. You won’t want to miss this!
Interview Summary
In Episode 4 of Peace Notes, we sat down with Dr. Kellmen, who delivered a powerful message on healing—specifically how women can find restoration through faith, forgiveness, and intentional self-work. Healing is a journey, and as Dr. Kellmen emphasized, you cannot pour from an empty cup.
3 Key Takeaways on Healing:
- Healing is Essential to Strengthen Others
- We all experience hurt in life, but true healing is necessary before we can strengthen our marriages, families, or communities. A broken vessel cannot pour into others effectively. Before you can help those around you, you must first allow yourself to be restored.
- Forgiveness is Impossible Without God
- One of the biggest barriers to healing is unforgiveness. Dr. Kellmen stressed that forgiveness is not just a decision but a spiritual process that requires faith in God. Trust that He will fight for you and take Him at His word when He says you are forgiven.
- To trust God fully, you need to spend time with Him, whether through prayer, reading scripture, or reflection.
- Healing is a Process, Not an Instant Fix
- Making the decision to heal is just the beginning. Healing takes time, effort, and intentionality—it could take weeks, months, or even years.
- Practical steps include:
- Seeking pastoral counseling or a licensed therapist
- Attending coaching sessions
- Reading books on healing
- Praying and staying spiritually connected
- The goal is to reach a place where the thing that once hurt you no longer has power over you.
Why Healing Before Marriage is Critical
Many people believe they are healed and rush into marriage, thinking their new relationship will fill the void. Dr. Kellmen warns that this is a dangerous misconception.
💬 “Hurt people hurt people.” Entering a marriage with unresolved wounds only perpetuates pain. A wedding ceremony doesn’t heal brokenness—only intentional, individual healing can.
Dr. Kellmen’s advice to couples:
✔️ Each partner should seek healing individually before marriage.
✔️ Healing is an ongoing process, and both partners must stay in prayer throughout their journey.
✔️ When individuals heal, the household will heal.
Final Thoughts
Healing is a choice, a journey, and a commitment. It doesn’t happen overnight, but when you put in the work and trust God, you will experience the freedom that comes with true restoration.
