About this Episode

Hidden wounds can affect your relationships, your choices, and the way you see yourself—even when no one else knows you’re hurting. In Mark 5, the woman with the issue of blood shows us that healing from hidden wounds begins when we stop hiding and move toward Jesus. God does not ask you to pretend you’re okay or clean yourself up before coming to Him. This sermon will help you confront hidden pain, break the cycle of shame, and take a step toward the healing Jesus offers.

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how Jesus responds to our hidden wounds with healing, grace, and a new identity.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

Why hiding your pain can keep you from healing
How hidden wounds affect your relationships and everyday life
Why honesty with God is an important step toward healing
What the woman with the issue of blood teaches us about overcoming shame
How Jesus sees you differently than your wounds do
How to stop letting fear, guilt, church hurt, or disappointment keep you from Jesus

You may have learned how to smile while you’re hurting, succeed while you’re struggling, and keep moving while you’re bleeding inside. But you were never meant to make peace with the wounds Jesus came to heal. Your wound may tell you to stay hidden. Jesus says, “Come to Me.”
