Growth Begins in Truthfulness and the Power of Brokenness (Jun 2003)

Ably representing the heart of the 2003 CES Conference on "Cultivating Wholeness," Nancy Berwid and John Lynn share openly about how their spiritual growth was greatly advanced by embracing a lifestyle of truthfulness and brokenness. Nancy models the way honesty can be liberating, and talks about how her self-deceptiveness worked against her healing and recognition of her ongoing need for a Savior. John then shares his struggle of finding the balance of godly self-esteem. He shows how the power of brokenness brings us to wholeness; as getting in touch with our failures and coming to grips with the sin that dwells in us can help us embrace our Savior's success and our righteousness in him.
