God can take the broken pieces of our childhood, and not only make us whole, but He can make something beautiful, and living and thriving out of that brokenness. Jamie Bailey and her husband Chris have a marriage counseling ministry, Expedition Marriage, that is helping so many around the world heal. In this episode Jamie shares her story, and the remarkable, unimaginable way God put all of her broken pieces together.

Habakkuk 1:5-“Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.”

Jamie Quotes:

“As hard as it was dealing with him, what hurt the most, is her not protecting me. I started to believe I’m not worthy of love.”

“I would not know Jesus if it weren’t for my husband. He entered into my life as a savior and as Jesus with skin on.” If I had not learned to trust his love first, I never would have been put in a position to receive the Father’s love for me.”

“Having a one-sided relationship with a parent is really hard.”

“I am somebody who loves big.”

“My hero was your villain.”

“It was at that moment the stamp was pressed upon me that says ‘you are not lovable’.”
