My Review of Christian Berdahl’s From Broken to Breakthrough DVD Part 2

This second dvd highlights how Christ truly is the one most qualified to help us heal from broken homes. Christian had tried everything but Jesus, but when He gave his heart to Christ, he found the answer to deal with emotional baggage he had been holding onto. This commitment to Christ was far reaching; Christian was the one to lead his soon to be wife to Christ, and he gained an experience with Jesus that would be the foundation of building his own ministry.

Who was healing Christian Berdahl?

Christian said, “I begin this relationship with Jesus. I give my heart to Him. He starts to heal my heart. He starts to take away the pain of my life. He starts to clean up my thinking. He helps me to start to understand that there is a way out of all of these emotions! There is a way that I can renew your mind, Christian! And, oh, I needed my mind renewed friends! And He started to perform surgery…And all that emotional baggage started to fall out of my life.”

“I had been searching for so long, looking for something that would free me and fill this whole I had inside. I tried so many different ways to fill it but to no avail. Acting, dancing, singing, popularity, money, relationships, and on and on and on. I looked everywhere except God if He even existed. Frankly, I didn’t want it to be God. I felt like I could figure this out on my own. I didn’t need him. It was the one thing that I had never tried. After years of the Lord calling to my heart, through many interventions, countless seeds being planted, I finally opened my mind. I picked up the Bible, and I started reading it. I started praying, and I found Psalm 27:10. It really spoke to me. ‘When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.’ What? God wanted to be my father? I found Jesus’ mission in Luke ‘[He came]…to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and the recovering of sight to the blind, to set a liberty them that are bruised.'” (Luke 4:18).

“…I found Psalm 27:10. It really spoke to me. ‘When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.'”

“He had deliverance for me, but I was the one that was the problem. No, no, no, Lord those who hurt me were the problem. No, He impressed my heart. I can’t heal you, Christian because you’ve been unwilling to let me heal you. You’ve held onto the bitterness, the rage, and the hatred of those who hurt you. It’s true; I had even planned out how I was going to kill my ex stepdad. I had so much anger. I had so much hatred. It was this dark, ugly side of me that no one knew about. Sometimes I would dwell on the pain and the darkness, which would only intensify it. I kept the hurt alive. God said, I can help you, Christian. I will deliver you, but I can’t, and I won’t force it from your hands. You have to give it to me…Even though everything on the outside looked pretty good, it was in here, deep in my soul that I needed to be changed. I finally broke…I had finally found the answer, a life giving relationship a life changing relationship with God…I had found my Father…I had found my Savior…!”

Conclusion:

Once again, Christian second dvd didn’t disappoint. I’m am even more convinced that this dvd needs to be shared with everyone because exalts Christ as the true healer and restorer of broken hearts!
