After Someone Has Hurt You

Rob Bell during a podcast.

Rob Bell is the founder and first pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids. By 2011, the Church was hosting services for 8,000 to 11,000 followers. Rob is now an author, will host THE ROB BELL SHOW on OWN, and is a popular speaker. Why is he so popular? He preaches the message of Jesus, the one that holds that Jesus is "love, peace, forgiveness, and joy that our world desperately needs to hear." He rejects the view, held by many fundamentalist religious leaders, which preaches the rigid adherence to doctrinal points of view. His views are more questioning, allowing for doubts, and restructuring the world in which we live to be a better place.

So, part of what Rob does is to help people heal from the trauma's of everyday life, such as the hurt from significant individuals in your life. One critical step that many people avoid is to name what happened, how hurt you felt at the time.

Rob Bell says, "Especially when it comes to things like abuse and betrayal, and especially if it's something like abuse or betrayal by somebody close to you or a family member...we gloss over how hellish and awful it was. You will only move to a place of healing and wholeness when you are ready to say what it actually was."

No one says that this first step is easy; acknowledging what happened can bring all those feelings back. But it is a necessary step in order to begin the healing process. This is also part of psychotherapy, and when a person has difficulty taking this first step, feels too paralyzed or sad, that's the time to get professional help. These days therapy doesn't have to be for a lengthy time; it can be for a short period and to help deal with a specific issue.

When you're hurting.

For those who would like to follow the ideas and work of Rob Bell, his program The Rob Bell Show has its first program this Sunday at 8 PM ET.
