R.A.W. Faith A Guide to Emotional Faith Healing

by Richard C. Hanzy

Overview

As a minister and therapist for the past decade, I have noticed that many of my clients' normal life, work, and relationship stressors have significantly increased due to poor faith and life coping skills, which led to negative thinking (catastrophizing), poor choices and decisions they made from past trauma or fear, misplaced loyalty, vanity or materialism, emotions, but most prevalent was the fear of being abandoned or alone. This book emerged from my noticing a trend in 2019 of unhealthy decision-making influenced by people making unhealthy choices for unhealthy social reasons that often left them emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually overwhelmed, which worsened through the pandemic. This book guides its readers in learning about how to apply their faith to help improve their coping and decision-making skills. The goal is to support individuals in applying their faith to their daily life struggles. I believe that God has given us the power to control our negative intrusive thoughts (that little devil on your shoulder) and empowered us not to react to those thoughts emotionally. While the book focuses on building and applying our faith to all aspects of our lives that we struggle with, it also provides insight into God's desire for us to not just live but live abundantly in all areas of our lives! Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. - Proverbs 3:5-8 (New King James Version)
