How can we overcome family brokenness and dysfunction? Today's esteemed guest, Lisa Burkhardt Worley, shares insights and tips to guide you toward healing and freedom. Lisa Burkhardt Worley is the founder of Pearls of Promise Ministries, a ministry designed to help people overcome brokenness and oppression through biblical truths. She is a documentary film producer, television host, conference speaker and ten-time award-winning author of ten books and a Bible study including her most recent award-winning book, The Root that Never Died: A Christian Woman's Journey Back to Her Hebraic Heritage. Lisa spent almost twenty years as an award-winning on-air television sportscaster both nationally and locally and is now the Executive Producer and Co-host of the topical television and radio show, POP Talk, an interview program seen on thirteen television platforms and heard on numerous radio platforms. Lisa earned a Masters of Theological Studies degree from SMU Perkins School of Theology in 2008, and after a return to her Jewish roots in 2014, is currently working on her Doctor of Ministry degree in Messianic Jewish Studies at the King's University. Her goal is to help the Jewish people by educating the world about antisemitism. Lisa shares her story of being born 2 months after her father's death to a mother who never recovered from the loss. Worley felt lonely, abandoned, and unloved as a child. But in high school, a God-sent friend shared Christ with Lisa. She still needed to overcome insecurity. College activities helped build her confidence, but the issues continued to resurface at times. Lisa later rededicated her life to Christ and discovered how she could turn to God's Word for the healing and strength to overcome insecurity and the wounds of her past.  She recommends finding a verse to apply to your area of struggle and putting it on the mirror. Worley states there are two steps in our faith journey: Belief Lordship After her career crash in adulthood when she rededicated her life to Christ, Lisa applied the step of lordship and became a praying woman. Worley notes that healing takes time. God helps us lift layer upon layer of woundedness. She emphasizes forgiveness as a vital part of healing. Lisa shares how forgiveness of her mother fulfilled great healing, though she had to extend unconditional love. Lisa gives the following tips for overcoming family brokenness and dysfunction: Talk about it. Don't bottle it up. Share your testimony, but make sure you honor others when sharing your story. God works a blessing in others when you share your story of healing. Prayer is very important. Spend time with God to flourish. Consider Psalm 92:12-13. Take your needs and wounds to the Lord. We discuss how unresolved issues like abandonment and family dysfunction can affect relationships. Lisa strongly recommends studying scripture, believing God's Word, prayer, and Biblical teaching. Lisa advises listeners not to give up. She offers the metaphor of a pearl, which is created from years of distress. Likewise, God forms pearls in us.

By Faith, Lisa Burkhardt Worley shares how God's providential hand has been evident throughout her life. She is now using her gifts for the kingdom of God!

Lisa Burkhardt Worley wasn't even alive when her father tragically died of a massive heart attack while playing polo. Her mother was at the match and watched him collapse on his horse. She was at his side when he passed en route to the hospital. Sadly, Lisa's mom never recovered from this trauma. She numbed her pain with alcohol and prescription drugs - to the point she couldn't even care for Lisa and she had to live with her grandmother for several years. Fast forward a decade or three, and Lisa is now a traveling correspondent for ESPN, at the time a brand new network that covered exclusively sports. After stints with HBO Sports and the Madison Square Garden Network, it was a perfect fit. But the road lifestyle wasn't suitable for a woman with a husband and young daughter. She needed something more stable. So she turned down what at one point would have been considered her dream job. She was offered employment with ESPN as a full-time reporter, but she turned it down to take a less prestigious position in San Antonio, TX. She did this because she felt called to be there for her mother - in spite of her mother not exactly being there for her at critical times in her childhood. Now in 2021, Lisa sees that the trauma she experienced vicariously through the womb and the ensuing dysfunction in her childhood was the pressure needed to make her into a pearl that minister's the grace of God - the only Father she has ever known - to those with similar experiences. In this episode, you'll discover: -Dysfunction defined...05:00 -What causes us to break free from dysfunction...07:15 -The tragedy that contributed to dysfunction in Lisa's childhood...10:30 -The moment Lisa accepted Jesus as Lord in 9th grade English class...14:00 -How Lisa got into sports broadcasting...17:00 -How losing the sweet gig led to a personal collapse...21:30 -If you feel like you need to go back to church, you probably do :) ...24:00 -How Lisa redeemed her faith with a new opportunity in broadcasting...26:30 -How to gain proper perspective when facing a challenge...28:25 -How a shift in mindset led Lisa to turn down her dream job...31:00 -How Lisa reconciled with her dysfunctional mom...34:00 -About Lisa's current ministry, Pearls of Promise...37:45 -Lisa chose to be healed...42:00 Resources from this episode: Lisa's website: pearlsofpromiseministries.com https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FP6F77P?ie=UTF8 (The Root That Never Died: A Christian Woman's Journey Back to Her Hebraic Heritage) https://amzn.to/2PmTSFl (The Only Father I Ever Knew: How a Fatherless Child Finally Found True Love) https://pearlsofpromiseministries.com/speaking-schedule/radio-program/ (POP Talk Radio) Ready For Your Biggest Breakthrough?Find out exactly what stands between you and your biggest breakthrough and how you can achieve your next level of living.

By His Grace podcast- Empowering YOU to live By His Grace through the struggles of life with host Misty Phillip. Author, Speaker, and Radio Show Host Lisa Burkhardt Worley shares inspiration about God being a father to the fatherless. Lisa is the founder of Pearls of Promise Ministries, a ministry that helps women overcome past […] The post Lisa Burkhardt Worley: Father to the Fatherless appeared first on By His Grace.

When God created male and female, he planned for us to have children and raise them together. Notice what Genesis says: "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it..." He gave that command to both the woman and the man because neither could have children alone. God designed us to need a father and mother. Notice this verse from Proverbs: "Hear my son, your father's instruction, and do not forsake your mother's teaching." Prov 1:8 We learn best from both parents, and the lack of either can hurt us, even if death causes the loss.  TV personality Lisa Burkhardt Worley grew up without her father, and she tells how she found both healing and hope. Now her ministry offers help to others.

Episode Summary:   Recently, close to Mother’s Day, we aired an episode about overcoming Mother Wounds. We received very positive feedback about that episode, and felt that as we near Father’s Day, knowing that can be a painful day for many, that we should also have an episode about the impact of being fatherless and experiencing Father Wounds.   If you have been left fatherless, or have ever felt wounded by your earthly father, or felt that your relationship with your earthly father has potentially negatively impacted your relationship with your Heavenly Father, then today is the perfect show for you. You don’t have to be fatherless to experience father wounds.   Today I’m talking with my friend, Lisa Burkhardt Worley, author of The Only Father I Ever Knew: How a Fatherless Child Finally Found True Love. In this episode, Lisa shared her experience of living fatherless from birth, and how she came to realize the need to heal the resulting father wounds that ensued. Lisa shared how she came to experience a relationship with God, her heavenly father, and begin to heal the wound that began when she was left fatherless at birth.   Lisa and I talked about the impact of being fatherless on our personality and our behavior, and how we interact with others. We also talked about some ways to begin the healing process.   Quotables from the episode:   If you have ever felt wounded by your earthly father, or felt that your relationship with your earthly father has potentially negatively impacted your relationship with your Heavenly Father, then today is the episode for you. A father wound can occur when a relationship with a father was not all God intended it to be; whether from an absent father, an abusive father, or even a father who was physically present but not emotionally present. A father speaks into your self-esteem. The father is so important to a child’s well-being. When someone is fatherless, they often struggle with self-esteem, and often search elsewhere for the love of a father figure. Father wounds can occur to boys or girls, men or women. The Heavenly Father will pursue us. Sometimes we say yes, and sometimes we run the other direction. The decision is ours. God has a heart for the fatherless. He doesn’t want you to feel alone. But we have to be open to Him stepping into that role of father for us. We can tell God the Father anything we want to. There is nothing hidden in His sight. We cannot equate God the Father to our earthly fathers. Many think of God the Father as distant. But He is our Abba Daddy who views us as His child. He wants an intimate relationship with Him. If our earthly father was abusive, we think of God as a harsh God. If our earthly father was absent, leaving us fatherless, we think of God as a distant God. But in actuality, He pursues us through His word, through other people. Search the Bible to see what the Word says about God the Father. He is beyond our comprehension. He has such a deep love for us that it takes God’s power to be able to appreciate how great it is (Eph. 3). God, out of his love for us, gave mankind free will. That’s the way it is with our earthly fathers who wrong us. Wounded people wound people. Sometimes we need to look to see what kind of a childhood our fathers had, because it can influence how they father us. If we will forgive our earthly father, it releases something inside us so that we can accept the love of the Heavenly Father. It’s never too late to get to know your heavenly father. God loves you with a perfect, never-ending love. He loves you so much that He gave His only son so that if we accept His gift, we can live with Him and be loved on forever for eternity, with a perfect love.     Scripture References:   Psalm 68:5 “Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—this is God, whose dwelling is holy.” 1 John 3:1 “See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.” Psalm 146:3-5 “Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God.”     Recommended Resources:   The Only Father I Ever Knew: How a Fatherless Child Finally Found True Love by Lisa Burkhardt Worley Knowing the Father: A Six-Week Bible Study to Understand God’s Father-Like Attributes by Lisa Burkhardt Worley Pearls of Promise: A Devotional Designed to Reassure You of God’s Love by Lisa Burkhardt Worley https://drmichellebengtson.com/words-from-a-loving-father/ The Overcoming Life by Jimmy Evans “Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression” by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader’s Choice Award “Hope Prevails Bible Study” by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader’s Choice Award     Social Media Links for Host and Guest:   Stay connected with Lisa Burkhardt Worley:   Website: pearlsofpromiseministries.com Website: atimetodream.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PearlsOfPromiseMinistries/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pearlsofpromise   For more hope, stay connected with Dr. Bengtson at:   To order Hope Prevails: https://drmichellebengtson.com/hope-prevails-book/ Website: https://drmichellebengtson.com/ Blog: https://drmichellebengtson.com/blog/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrMichelleBengtson Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrMBengtson (@DrMBengtson) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichellebengtson/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichellebengtson/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/drbhopeprevails/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichelleBengtson Radio Show Host: http://graceandtruthradio.world/shows/your-hope-filled-perspective/   Air Date: June 10, 2019   Guest: Lisa Burkhardt Worley, Author, Speaker, Radio Show Host  Hosted By: Dr. Michelle Bengtson Audio Technical Support: Bryce Bengtson

I did not know Lisa Burkhardt-Worley before she met me at the KSLR AM630 12th floor studios. I knew of Lisa because when we first moved to San Antonio she was the only female sports anchor in town. She was on KENS 5 (CBS affiliate) and always did a great job. I hadn’t known her vast national sports experience which we talk some about but I also did not know her fascinating powerful story of God getting a hold of her a couple of key times in her life. This interview and her story reminds me of the power of one person, to say one simple thing that can change the course of our life here on earth as well as our eternal destiny. Lisa also has authored several books including The Only Father I Ever Knew. Awesome to meet her.
