EP 147 Can Two Broken People Make a Relationship Whole? with Rev. Dr. Rob Reimer

Phoenix Rising: Descending into the Threads & Rising from the Roots.

In this compelling episode, Rev. Dr. Rob Reimer unpacks deep spiritual truths about forgiveness, fear, healing wounds, and deliverance ministry. Together, we explore how these areas impact our emotional and spiritual well-being, offering practical steps for finding freedom and restoration through Christ.

Forgiveness is a key theme, as Rob explains how everyone experiences hurt in life. Choosing not to forgive leads to a distorted perspective, creating what he calls a “tainted lens.” This unforgiveness not only harms our relationships but gives the enemy a foothold in our lives.

Fear is another area we dive into, with Rob shedding light on why "Fear not" is the most repeated command in Scripture—appearing over 365 times. God’s promise to “fear not” isn’t about avoiding pain or hardship but about His presence with us through every trial. This eternal perspective shifts our focus from earthly struggles to our identity as sons & daughters of the King, reminding us that our ultimate hope lyes in our heavenly citizenship.

We also delve into the universal experience of wounds. Even Jesus, described as a man of sorrows, was wounded. Rob explains how God can redeem our pain, turning us into “wounded healers” who bring hope and healing to others. This chapter from his book highlights how we can surrender our wounds to God and experience profound restoration.

One of the most powerful discussions centers on deliverance ministry, a practice often neglected by the modern church but central to Jesus’ mission. Rob shares how demonic oppression can manifest in areas like anxiety, depression, and addiction, and why deliverance is essential for true freedom. He offers practical insights into recognizing & addressing demonic influence, emphasizing that Jesus' ministry of casting out demons is as relevant today as it was in biblical times.

The episode is filled with heartfelt testimonies, including stories of individuals freed from decades of torment after attending soul care conferences. Rob underscores the urgency for the church to reclaim its biblical mandate to preach, heal, and cast out demons, calling the neglect of deliverance ministry “cosmic treason.” Lisa reflects on her own experiences with deliverance, sharing how acknowledging the reality of evil led to greater freedom and peace in her life.

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing and freedom are available to everyone through the ministry of Jesus. Forgiveness, courage, and deliverance are essential steps toward living a life of spiritual wholeness.
