About the series

Healing starts with God.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3

Recovery rarely begins with a plan. It begins with an honest admission, that we are not God, and that we cannot fix everything on our own. In early 2020, Pastor Tim Rolen walked New Hope in Clovis through that first hard step and the long road that follows it.

Across nine Sundays, the series traces the cause, the consequences, and the cure. It is an honest look at the broken places in a life and the God who meets us there, steadies us, and walks the road with us toward something whole.
