I was interviewed recently by a Podcast Organization in California to Complete a Series of Podcasts on biblical Brokenheartedness

Biblical brokenheartedness (brokenness of soul) is not “Susie’s boyfriend left her, and she is brokenhearted.” It is a dissociative method of coping with and surviving devastating trauma. Under the trauma of severe abuse of a child, an alter personality is created to be the victim of the abuse, to encapsulate the abuse experiences and to protect the birth person from it through amnesia. Brokenheartedness does not arise from a childhood spanking. It takes extended abuse or extreme trauma to bring about brokenheartedness or the splitting of the soul (mind, emotions, will, and affections).

Once splitting of the soul has successfully occurred as a protective system and the first alter personalities are created to deal with the terror of abuse, it may be utilized as a means to deal with less severe trauma. The result may be a wide range of personalities of widely varying kinds. There may be alter personalities of both genders within the same host, and of widely varying ages. Some may age normally or perhaps even more quickly than normal. Many will stay at the age in which the trauma and brokenness occurred. Protector alters may be developed to cope.

My latest book on Broken-heartedness, how it’s identified and how healing comes through Jesus. Due to be published in late June and available through the Center.

Greetings from Roger and Diane

Wow, what a weekend I just experienced as 26 friends, relatives, children, and grandchildren from as far away as Ohio, came to help me celebrate my 80th birthday on Sunday, May 25th at our home.

It was a week early as my birthday is actually June 2nd, but that made no difference to me as Diane, and I felt so blessed having them all come to town. Some stayed at our home over the weekend, but due to lack of space one family stayed at a B & B here in the Dallas, Georgia area.

While they were here over the weekend they helped fix a few things around the house and even plant and replant some flowers in our yard. I have been limited to what I can do around the house as I have ongoing foot problems and am on a knee scooter while seeing a wound specialist every week.

I am expecting to be back on both feet in a couple weeks at which time I will be able to drive and do other things around the house again.

Diane has been my chauffer again lately while the right foot heals. I also refer to her as my “home health nurse,” since she has the “joy” of changing the bandage on my foot on a nightly basis. Thank you, Diane, you’re a very special wife.

I am still counseling from my office at home and as you can see from the front of this newsletter, staying busy with writing, etc.

Prayer and financial partners we do appreciate all you do and ask for your continued partnership with us.

God bless you all,

In the Past 6-Weeks 95 Counseling Sessions were Scheduled in 12 States

I am doing the finishing work on my latest book titled, “Understanding and Treatment of Biblical Brokenheartedness with Jesus as the Wonderful Counselor”.

This book is being written to help pastors and Christian Counselors to understand biblical brokenheartedness and how to successfully guide an individual and the alter personalities split off from the soul (the heart of man) through the healing process and full integration and wholeness with the Lord Jesus Christ as the wonderful Counselor. The bible clearly states that Jesus heals the brokenhearted:

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

Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, To proclaim liberty to captives, And freedom to prisoners.”

Chapter One begins with a beautiful example of an individual who suffered from brokenheartedness and how Jesus brought about healing and integration of the alter personalities in part by having an angel baptize one of the alters. It was amazing! Absolutely amazing!

Then examples of alter personalities journaling, communicating, writing poetry, and alter checks, among other illustrations. Diagnostic and counseling procedures are then explained in detail with a final chapter identifying and dealing with any evil spirits that may be connected with the alter system.

My prayer is that Jesus receives praise and glory as a result of this book. To Jesus be the glory!

To God be the Glory, Great things He has Done “Thank you dear Jesus”

Thanks to our prayer and financial partners for your continuing support. Without your help this ministry would not be available to the many who are hurting and need help and healing.

Greetings from Roger and Diane

Greetings once again from Dallas, Georgia. This was another busy month as I continued counseling individuals from across the country.

I am praising God for His blessing Diane and myself with longevity as I will be turning 80 on June 2nd and He continues to give me a clear mind so I can continue serving Him.

On Saturday March 22nd a tornado came through Dallas, Georgia and although it missed us and we had no damage, it did knock our internet and cell phone service off line until Tuesday evening. So I had to cancel some counseling sessions for Monday and Tuesday and had to drive about 5 miles to get reception on my cell phone in order to do the cancellations and rescheduling. Oh well! But I thank God we had no damage. God is good.

Then one weekend last month Dennis and two of the grandchildren, Kayla and Nicholas, came in from Ohio to spend a couple days with us followed the next weekend with Julie and granddaughter Kye driving in from Alabama for a couple days. Always a happy time when family comes visiting, especially grandchildren. Not that we don’t love Dennis and Julie, but you know what I mean.

Then last Saturday we drove out to Talladega, Alabama to attend a soccer game and watch Kye play.

As for health, I had been on a knee scooter for a couple months due to a wound on the bottom of my right foot when the orthopedic surgeon that has done surgery on the foot in the past sent me to a wound specialist. He did an amazing job and after about three weeks, and three visits the wound was finally healed and I was released from the knee scooter by both doctors. It was a little strange at first driving again and walking again and Diane was my co-pilot making sure I knew what stop signs meant, what color traffic lights were, where the edge of the road was and many other helps? But we both survived to live another day.

Seriously though, Diane has been a tremendous help in walking with me through all the health issues and I wouldn’t trade her for nothing.

There are some ongoing health issues that both of us are dealing with, but we are staying on top of them and moving forward.

God Appreciate your prayers and God bless you all,

In the Past Six Weeks Counseling Sessions were Scheduled in Eleven States

I was asked to be interviewed by a Producer and Interviewer for an Eight Session Podcast to be Produced on Dissociative Identity Disorders from a Biblical Point of View.

There were two Saturday sessions during February lasting a total of 5 1/2 hours during which I was interviewed by an organization in California.

As you know, we are internationally known for counseling those who are suffering from D.I.D. known biblically as “Broken-heartedness.” Many believe that the biblical term means for instance “Susie’s boyfriend left her and she’s brokenhearted” but that has nothing to do with the reality.

Broken-heartedness or “brokenness of soul” occurs when an individual, commonly a child, goes through more severe trauma than can be emotionally handled and the soul splits, or breaks, and an alternate personality is formed who then holds the worst of the trauma and the birth person becomes amnesic to that part of the trauma. Relating to the trauma, we are not talking about a family disciplining their child in a loving way, but rather some of the severest trauma one could ever imagine.

The Bible tells us that one reason Jesus died on the cross was to heal the broken-hearted and He does amazing things in bringing about healing and reintegration of the personalities back into the traumatized person’s soul and healing. Healing is all about Jesus who is the wonderful Counselor. I have always stated that I feel I am merely a facilitator in the counseling sessions as our dear Jesus brings about healing and wholeness again to the counselee’s soul.

Additionally, in the interviews we discussed the fact that sometimes during the healing process it is possible that evil spirits could have entered during the trauma and have to be removed as part of the healing.

The podcasts are in production now and once I have the final information as to how to access the Podcasts and their names I will include it in the monthly newsletter.

To God be the Glory, Great things He has Done “Thank you dear Jesus”

Greetings from Roger and Diane

Greetings once again from Dallas, Georgia! It continues to be a busy time here at our home as I continue counseling individuals from across the country.

I received a phone call just the other day from a pastor in Hawaii wanting a better understanding of biblical broken-heartedness and how to help someone suffering from the severe trauma they had endured and the alter personalities that were formed as a result. I spoke for awhile explaining how to help the individual to find healing biblically and then referred him to a YouTube video on the subject; a two hour training event at a conference several years ago on spiritual warfare which I taught. Oh how I wish every pastor knew how to deal with it.

Diane and I are both dealing with some physical health issues. I continue to have problems with my right foot and the orthopedic surgeon who has done some surgery on it in the past has me on a knee scooter. The wound on the bottom of the foot is not healed as yet and so I have been on a knee scooter for about seven weeks and it is causing a few problems of its own. Last week I was referred to a wound doctor and so hopefully between the two doctors they will find the answer and the foot will heal. Needless to say I am unable to drive at this point.

And Diane is having problems with her knee swelling and giving her problems with movement like when she gets in an out of a car. She recently received a shot in the knee and is taking physical therapy which seems to be helping some.

With the ministry office located here in our home, and all counseling currently being done over the internet utilizing ZOOM or SKYPE, and occasionally, if the counselee doesn’t have that capability, we will use facetime when necessary.

And so, with that being said, we are asking for your continued prayers for us and the Center as we continue to move forward in ministry to others. As I stated last month, I am reaching 80 in June, but I haven’t found the word “retirement” in the Bible, so I plan on pressing forward serving the Lord as long as I am able, and He doesn’t guide me otherwise. God bless you all as the year progresses.

God bless you,

As We Begin the New Year We have Counseling Sessions Scheduled in Eleven States and Australia

Attention Financial Partners

As a 501c3 non-profit ministry you will find enclosed with this newsletter your year end statement for tax purposes. If you have made a donation and there is no donation receipt showing the amount you donated during 2024, or if there is an error, then please call us as soon as possible so that we can get a new or corrected receipt to you. Our phone number is 321-269-0404. If there is no answer and you are directed to voicemail then leave a message and your phone number and we will return your call.

To show how important your donations are, the breakdown of income in 2024 of the total income was:

• 73.1% was from donations
• 26.9% was from counseling

The reason being that we do not refuse counseling to anyone due to lack of ability to pay. With the present economy there are many who are struggling financially but still need Christian counseling. Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

Prayer Partners

Your partnership is also extremely vital to the ongoing success of this ministry. As you know, we work with many individuals who are suffering from biblical broken-heartedness, which is known in the secular arena as Dissociative Identity Disorder. These are counselees who have suffered extreme trauma usually in childhood and at the height of the trauma the soul (heart of man) splits and an alter personality was formed to take the trauma. Healing involves dealing with the trauma that the alter personalities have endured as well as demonic activity which occurred during the worst of the traumatic event. So prayers are vital to success.

The Lord Jesus Christ, the wonderful Counselor, died on the cross and rose victorious to pay the penalty for our sins. But also, to set the captives free, those in bondage to the forces of evil, and to heal the brokenhearted. So, there’s the victory that a counselee experiences in counseling. Jesus paid it all. When we see healing and victory during counseling it’s all because of Jesus who does amazing things for the counselee and their alter personalities.

To God be the Glory,
Great things He has Done
“Thank you, dear Jesus,”

Thanks to our prayer and financial partners for your continuing support. Without your help this ministry would not be available to the many who are hurting and need help and healing.

Greetings from Roger and Diane

Well, here we are. It’s Saturday, Jan. 11th and we are looking out the window at the snow and ice. Yes, that’s right, here in the deep south we have received about 2 inches of snow along with some ice. Actually, it’s beautiful and the temperature tonight is supposed to get down to a low of 21 degrees. Going to be cold going to church tomorrow morning. Last time we saw snow in the area was in late 2017.

We need your prayers, not only for the Center, but also for some personal needs. I have a problem with my right foot and the orthopedic surgeon told me Friday that I need to be completely off it for three weeks to help with healing of a wound on the underside of the foot. That’s not too easy and I am using my knee scooter to try to get the job done. Diane has some medical needs also and I pray that you will keep us both in your prayers. Christmas and New Years went well and we were blessed to see Julie and her family and Gary and his family during the holidays. New Years eve we watched a movie before going to bed at midnight. Now we’ve begun a new year of life and ministry. As you may know, the counseling office is here in our home and all work is done over the internet utilizing ZOOM or SKYPE, and on occasion, if a counselee doesn’t have that capability, we use facetime when necessary.

So, a New Year lies ahead along with my 80th birthday in June. Getting older but I haven’t found the word “retirement” in the Bible, so I plan on pressing forward serving the Lord as long as I am able, and He doesn’t tell me otherwise.

God bless you,

Galatians 6:9
“And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.”

We ask that you consider a year end contribution and remind you that all 2024 contributions must be postmarked by December 31. Contributions postmarked after December 31 cannot be added to your 2024 giving record. Contributions can be mailed using the enclosed envelope and the slip on the back of this letter, by calling the Center and using a credit card, or through CenterForChristianCounseling.org using the PayPal contributions button at the bottom of the home page.

Once again, thank you for partnering with us in 2024 and we look forward to your continued partnership in this vital worldwide ministry in 2025. In January we will be sending out year end contribution reports for tax purposes.

Thank you once again for your friendship, partnership, and faithfulness.

May our Lord richly bless you in the year ahead,
