As I follow Jesus and embrace Him as my life, I heal and grow.
My Story – Gary Roe
My story began with a childhood of mixed messages and sexual abuse. This touched the core of my being and skewed everything. I buried the memories to survive.
Hungry to be loved, I became a performing animal. I over-achieved at everything, but the emptiness remained.
More hits came. I lost friends. My parents divorced. My dad died in front of me. My mom attempted suicide. Life, my life, was falling apart.
Another family took me in. I began to experience love and acceptance on a new level. My heart began to settle. My healing journey began.
Most importantly, I encountered Jesus Christ. His forgiveness and love were unlike anything I had ever experienced. I would never be the same.
As I experienced Christ’s healing in my life, I found myself wanting to help other wounded hearts heal and grow. Over the next three decades, I served as a campus minister, a missionary in Japan, pastor, hospice chaplain, and grief counselor.
I currently serve as an author, speaker, grief specialist and grief coach.
After walking through deep valleys with thousands of people, I can say the following with confidence:
- We’ve been wounded. We hurt. We grieve.
- Healing and recovery are possible.
- We’re designed to live with purpose, meaning, and significance.
- Jesus Christ is the key to healing, purpose, significance, and to all of life.
I’m a fellow struggler. I still bear the scars of my wounds. I grieve, get anxious, worry, and battle fear regularly. As I follow Jesus and embrace Him as my life, I heal and grow.
Healing is out there, and it’s closer than you think. You are not alone.
