The Background Story
Many people have been hurt by their fathers or mothers. My name is Bob Carroll and I am one of them. My father left when I was four years old, leaving me deeply wounded. I grew up fearful, insecure, finding it hard to trust people, feeling easily rejected, that I didn’t belong, and that nobody would take care of me. I found it hard to feel safe and loved by the Heavenly Father.
But I have found profound healing through encountering God’s Father heart of love for me. That’s why I wrote a book called Embraced: Experiencing God’s Father Heart of Love. And now I am offering a retreat to provide an opportunity for you to experience the wonderful, healing love of our Heavenly Father.
What is the Embraced Retreat About?
The purpose of the Embraced Retreat is to experience the Father’s heart of love for you. No matter what your background, this retreat is about feeling loved by God.
It is an opportunity to personally apply the principles taught in the book Embraced, to receive healing prayer for any wounds you have and to deal with any obstacles keeping you from feeling deeply loved by the Heavenly Father.
