Healing Begins at Home: Rebuilding Family Bonds with Justin Raghoo
Your first ministry is not the one you set up after your pain and after you've been healed, but your first ministry is right back to your family.
Ever felt like it's easier to be kind to strangers than to your own family? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Few Minutes for Jesus', Justin Raghoo dives into why we often give our best selves to outsiders while neglecting those closest to us. Using Mark 8:26 as a starting point, where Jesus sends a man home after healing him, Justin explores the importance of focusing on family relationships post-transformation.
He challenges listeners to think about who truly deserves the healed version of themselves. Why do we find it so easy to be great to strangers but struggle with vulnerability at home? Justin argues that the real work of healing happens within the family unit. He stresses that our first ministry should be towards our own household, urging us to rebuild trust and show love to those who have stood by us through thick and thin.
This episode is a heartfelt call to action, encouraging us to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength in loving difficult family members and to prioritize prayer in mending these vital relationships. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that will make you rethink where you invest your emotional energy.
