Imagine waking up every day with a sense of hope instead of despair. In this episode of Hope, Healing & Freedom, the conversation revolves around whether traditional therapy can complement Restoring the Foundations (RTF) ministry in a believer's life. Lee Whitman shares his experiences from 18 years as a Christian counsellor, where he encountered the challenges of prolonged counselling sessions and recurring issues among clients.
He introduces RTF, a ministry that addresses generational curses, lies, heart wounds, and demonic interference in an integrated manner, promising lasting healing and freedom. Whitman uses a metaphor about restoring the foundation of a house to illustrate how essential it is to deal with spiritual roots before building upon them with therapy. He argues that while therapy helps identify struggles and coping mechanisms, addressing the spiritual roots is crucial for true freedom.
The episode highlights the importance of knowing one's identity as a child of God and experiencing His love, which surpasses mere intellectual understanding. Listeners are encouraged to consider whether they might benefit from combining RTF with therapy to overcome their struggles more effectively. Whitman emphasises that counselling is valuable when built upon a firm spiritual foundation.
