Betrayal SeminarsJohn Wendell Adams, the author of the novel “Betrayal” has recently announced a series of seminars that started during the first quarter of 2015. Here’s an excerpt from his presentation.
“Oprah recently said on her show that someone did some really bad stuff to her, betrayed her in a way that really hurt. As a result, she walked around with anger, hurt, and bitterness toward the person. She felt that the person should take responsibility for what they had done. Sometime later she encountered the person smiling and just as happy as they could be. She realized that the person was never going to own up to what they had done.” Betrayal means to hurt someone who trusts you (such as a loved one, a friend, a relative, or a co-worker) by doing something morally wrong. To the person betrayed, they experience a range of emotions, anger, hurt, loss, bitterness, resentment, hostility, and others. If not reconciled, they can take the person betrayed down a road where only bad things happen. Stay tuned for dates/times/costs/venue/agenda. Choose to walk free in abundant living. Here are just two possible results: Retaliate – The person betrayed decides to lash out at the betrayer, their loved ones, or their possessions in devastating ways. They’re so consumed with rage. It’s as if they decide to take poison but expecting the other person to die. Withdraw – The person betrayed determines that no one is ever going to get close enough to them again. So they shut down that part of their lives, living but not in fullness. A very wise woman once said, “No one can keep you from what the Good Lord has for you except yourself”. Shutting down part of who you are is not a good response. These upcoming Betrayal seminars are uniquely designed to help people who have been betrayed to finally start to deal with their “real” hurts and pains. This safe, confidential environment helps each person hear stories from others who have been betrayed and how they recovered to live full and complete lives. This is not simple but it is critically important for healing, growth, and restoration. Stay tuned for dates/times/costs/venue/agenda. |
