God knows, we all need "recovery". I think you're part of a great purpose and plan that God is in the process of unfolding. My old friend Paul Young's book, "The Shack" is part of it. Rob Bell's book, "Love Wins" is part of it. Mike Williams and Carlton Pearson are part of it. I am astonished at the number of people that are coming to the realization of God's plan to redeem all things. I was given this revelation almost 15 years ago and felt like such an outsider; and oddball. Ok, I'm still an oddball, but thousands more are coming to the same revelation. I personally know 2 pastors who have lost their employment because of the revelation of God's ultimate redemtion of all things. Their congregation took offence to the idea that God had a plan to reconcile all things. They thought only they counted! You'll do fine. God will show you a way into new ways of supporting your family. Let me know how it turns out! rosch99@gmail.com Hey Chad, hope your “recovery” has been going well. God knows, we all need “recovery”.

I will be praying for you both and your kids :) I understand your brokenness having battled with crack addiction and alcohol even while trying to serve Christ.. it is only by His Grace that I am sober today :) He makes ALL new Chad. By faith i believe since He has been showing you His love and ultimate plan of reconcilling all creation to himself .. that indeed he shall fully heal and restore you this side of glory( which he also showed His plan of reconcilliation to both me and my husband last yr.. my husband also a very thankful recovered addict like myself) He chooses us weak and foolish things dear brother.i remember in 2002 after a night of relapsing.. i was in my usual time of bible study and quiet meditation and in worship when i began to repent for my sin YET AGAIN.. weeping bitterly complete with snot running down my face. As i wept to Him .. i heard him very clearly say to me " What does my word say ? there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. "  i balked and i actually said to him.."But .. but.. I have done it AGAIN!" and he said to me so clearly " I am in you and you are in ME. I just want to heal you." I wept even harder and i am not lying when I say that it was if he was right in the room on his knees in front of me on MY knees.. His presence was so strong! and I even put my head on his shoulder and i wept harder . I literally could feel His arms around me :)It was after that he began to deliver me and heal me so that now 10 yrs later i am totally free from crack addiction.. back then i would of never thought i would see this day! he wants to do the same for you Chad and for your wife Amy.

God Loves you no matter what you have done, as long as you come home to him and leave all that behind. As far as being ordained let that go for now and ask God to show when the time will be right to go back and seek being ordained again. You are in my prayers, my brother in Christ. GOD DOES LOVE YOU...GOD FORGIVES ALL SIN EVEN ADULTERY AND DIVORCE. One can be delivered from all this with the help of Christ. John 8:36.

And I have been set free from homosexuality And delivered in the name of Jesus. God spoke to me out loud in my car and told me one sunday nite to go to church. I ran to church and the pastor called me out by name not even knowing me. that nite God freed me from the spirit of homosexuality. We must never tolerate sin, But we must present the truth in the love of Christ, That does not mean the truth will be received.
