Sometimes there are stories we tell ourselves that are actually deceptive - they prevent us from embracing reality so that we might be open to God’s healing touch. We insist that life should follow whatever playbook we were handed along the way, but when tragedy comes we are left disillusioned and defeated. But what if this disillusionment is actually a gift, a chance to reassess what we thought life was about, in order that we might conspire with God in honesty to see what might be possible? This is the holy space in which we find real healing.

Brittney and Trevor Reinholt know this path well. As achievement-oriented personality types, they have both experienced radical encounters with God in times of disillusionment and an invitation to see their stories in the light of Christ. They have come to realize that our shortcomings do not discount us from the work of the Kingdom, but are invitations to do the holy work of growth as we in turn help others see the hand of God reaching out to save us. As we are healed, so we can offer healing.
