Episode 18: From Brokenness to Reconciliation and Restoration (Part 2) with Guest Jeffery S. White
In this second part of a 2 part discussion on spiritual reconciliation and restoration, my guest and I discuss what reconciliation and restoration should look like biblically, how it often looks when done poorly, and practical steps those who have been abused can take to deal with those that have abused them.

Guest: Jeffrey S. White
Jeffery S. White has been in the Gospel ministry in one form or another since 1986, so over 36 years. For the first 32 of these years, he served in various pastoral, denominational, and church planting roles. Then for 3 years after pastoring, he served in clinical settings as both a hospital and hospice chaplain. Since 2018, he has been the founder and president of Divine Initiative which is a global counseling ministry that focuses on helping those who have experienced or are experiencing spiritual abuse as well as Religious Trauma Syndrome. Jeff was genuinely converted to Christ when he was 20 years old in 1985 while sitting at work meditating on Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (NASB95) Besides being a theological Reformed follower of Christ, he is currently working on two books, one dealing with spiritual abuse and the other with spiritual restoration that he hopes to have available on Amazon by the end of 2024. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife of 23 years, Adriane; his son Ian and his daughter Sydney; dirt biking, swimming, listening to music and playing chess and other board games. Jeff received his education from Southwest Missouri State University (now MSU), Luther Rice Seminary, Christian Bible College and Seminary, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Merchab Institute.
