Hurt people, hurt people…hurting people

Hurting People

Hurting people …hurt people hurt people, but let me clarify what I’m saying.

People who are hurting tend to hurt other people. The reasons vary but the results are always the same.

Hurting people have a unique way of communicating with others and especially their loved ones.

They respond to people out of the same pain that they are in because most likely this is an area that they are familiar with.

Familiar Territory

Dysfunctional families usually produce people who hurt other people.

If one looks at the reason that they are hurt by parents or peers…there really is no logic as to why.

Even good families can produce hurting people right? The reasons why may never be known.

Most often people who are hurting prefer to stay in this area because its comfortable.

They know how to navigate in hostile areas and may have never been in a loving environment.

So they go from broken relationship to broken relationship.

If you’ve ever wondered why people (especially women) stay in abusive relationships…this is the number one reason

Learning how to love

People who live a life of hurt may want to find a home of love…but how?

They have been hurt all their lives by everyone they’ve ever tried to love but to no avail.

When someone comes along that wants to love them they simply cant understand why.

The Fact is they cant speak the same language…and so mistrust will always be the wall between them.

First love first

Genuine love will always begin with realizing that God loves you unconditionally.

God’s love is THE GENUINE LOVE and without it we will never see the real thing in others.

There’s an abundance of counterfeit love in the world…so we teach others God’s love first…

and once they see the real thing they are able to begin to see genuine love in others.

If you are living this life without knowing how to love and be loved we want to meet you. Contact us today…we can help

The Penewit's were there for me when I was at the lowest point in my life and had no hope. I was truly defeated, oppressed, … More and was reaching out for a life raft to save me. Fast forward six months later, and my life has never been the same. Through them, I have found restoration and healing for my soul. I am beyond grateful for their spiritual wisdom and practical guidance. They truly walk with Jesus and have helped me receive an abundance of life!

My wife and I had grown apart after 30 years of marriage and she told me one day that if I want this marriage to work we need … More counseling. Needless to say I was on the phone within minutes. 2 counselors called and both I had to leave a message. 3rd was Dr Penewit. His wife answered and after I explained my situation she asked if she could pray for me and my marriage! God doesn't make mistakes! I have to say after my wife and I took the personality test and we realized what we were doing wrong in our marriage we grow closer to each other and to Gid daily. Dr Penewit has guided us through waters we didn't want to travel and he showed us God's purpose not only in our marriage but also individually. 3 months in and my marriage is the best it's ever been!! If you're looking for Christian counseling and you're at your wits end in an unhappy marriage I can't recommend Dr Penewit enough! My only regret is that we didn't meet him 30 years ago!! Don't give up. God works through the Doc and if you give it a try with open hearts and minds, you will soon realize why you fell in love with your spouse in the first place. Make the call!!

My husband and I were blessed to find Mrs. Penewit. God used her in many ways to help us grow and understand ourselves and each … More other as God intended. I am grateful for her kindness, compassion, non-judgmental approach. We had lost a few counselors along the way and Mrs. Penewit made the difficult process of opening up seamless. We would recommend them to anyone seeking individual/family guidance and healing. May God continue to bless you!

We love Doc and Linda! They are both such incredible people, and I highly recommend them for marital counseling. My husband and … More I see Dr. Penewit, and he has helped us gain a whole new biblically-based understanding of marriage, how to truly be one flesh, and how to resolve conflicts. He is so welcoming and approachable, which we really appreciate, as well. I have also seen Linda a couple of times, and she is also amazing and just the sweetest! Both of them allow the Holy Spirit to guide them, which allows me to be 100% confident in their guidance! They also use the Arno profile system to classify each person's temperament in several categories, and it helped us to gain an understanding of each other's needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I won't pretend that our Arno temperament profiles were 100% accurate in every area, but overall they were very telling and very helpful! Dr. Penewit uses that information, along with God's word, to counsel us in every aspect of our marriage, and he pulled us through some very tough times! We use the tools and guidance he has given us on a day to day basis, and he has been an instrumental role in my pathway to spiritual freedom! -Jamie Delannoy, PharmD
